Directions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.

Cook sausage: In a medium skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.

Prepare casserole mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, thawed hashbrowns, and biscuit pieces.

Make sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, salt, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese until smooth and well-combined.

Combine: Pour the milk mixture over the sausage and hashbrown mixture, gently stirring to combine everything.

Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Bake the casserole: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted.

Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
