Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once cooked, drain the excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In the same skillet, add the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and sausage gravy mix. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, cooking over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Layer the frozen hashbrowns in the bottom of the dish, spreading them evenly.
Top the hashbrowns with the cooked sausage, then pour the gravy mixture evenly over the sausage and hashbrowns.
Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of the casserole mixture.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the entire casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields about 8 servings. It takes approximately 45 minutes to prepare and bake, making it a great option for a quick and hearty breakfast or brunch.

Variations

Vegetarian Option: You can skip the sausage and use a plant-based sausage or skip it entirely. Add some sautéed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor.
Spicy Kick: If I like things a bit spicier, I’ll add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use a spicy sausage in place of the regular breakfast sausage.
Cheese Variety: While I love cheddar cheese, I can easily swap it out for other cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or a combination for more flavor.

Storage/Reheating

This casserole stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I find that it reheats beautifully in the microwave or oven. To reheat, just cover the casserole with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.

FAQs

Can I use fresh hashbrowns instead of frozen?

Yes! If I have fresh hashbrowns, I can absolutely use them. Just make sure to cook them until crispy before layering them in the casserole dish.

Can I make this casserole ahead of time?

I can prepare this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, I just need to bake it as directed.

Is there a way to make this dish less greasy?

If I want to reduce the grease, I can use a leaner sausage or drain the sausage well before adding it to the casserole. Another option is to use a lower-fat cream of mushroom soup.

Can I use a different type of gravy mix?

If I don’t have sausage gravy mix, I can substitute it with any gravy mix that I like, such as brown gravy or country gravy.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes, I can freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Just cover the casserole tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as usual.
