Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and spray a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Add the sausage and onion powder into a large skillet and fry, breaking into smaller pieces. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the sausage is browned.
Sprinkle quartered biscuits on the bottom of the baking dish.
Spoon the seasoned sausage out of the pan and layer over the biscuits. Make sure to leave the grease and a little bit of sausage in the pan to make the gravy later!
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sausage mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs with milk and brown sugar. Pour this mixture over the top of the cheese.
In the greased skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and allow this to cook for at least 3 minutes.
Slowly whisk in the salt, pepper, thyme and milk. Heat this on medium heat until thickened.
Pour the gravy over the casserole.
Bake for 30-40 minutes. If biscuits and eggs are not fully cooked, continue baking for 5 more minutes at a time.
Notes
The brown sugar balances this casserole perfectly because of the mild heat from the sausage and pepper in the gravy. It pairs perfectly!
You might feel like there is a lot of gravy for this casserole, but it really soaks up while cooking!
