Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 16.3 oz
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (ground)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once the sausage is fully cooked, sprinkle flour over the sausage and mix well to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

- Open the biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
- In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the sausage gravy mixture over the biscuit pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
