Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the beef sausage: In a large skillet, cook the beef sausage over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart.
Prepare biscuits: While the sausage cooks, open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Set aside.
Mix the custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until smooth. 🥚
Layer the ingredients: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the biscuit pieces, then add the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuits. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top. Add the remaining biscuit pieces and cheese.
Pour custard: Carefully pour the egg-milk mixture over the entire casserole, ensuring it covers everything.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. 🍽️
Serve warm: Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your hearty casserole!
