How to Make Hashbrown Biscuit Breakfast Bake

1. Brown the Sausage
   Start by sautéing your breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Let it get deeply browned and crumbly your kitchen will smell delicious already.
2. Make the Creamy Gravy
   If using a gravy mix, whisk it together with milk until velvety smooth. Stir in your cooked sausage, letting everything bubble and mingle into a rich, savory sauce.
3. Layer the Hashbrowns
   Grease a roomy casserole dish and spread the thawed shredded hashbrowns in an even layer. Sprinkle with pepper, garlic powder, and thyme or parsley for extra warmth.
4. Add Sausage Gravy
   Gently pour or spoon the sausage gravy over the hashbrowns, letting it settle into every nook for maximum creaminess.
5. Top with Biscuits and Cheese
   Quarter your refrigerated biscuits and snuggle them on top of the sausage layer. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously so it’ll melt into a golden, bubbly crust as it bakes.

6. Bake Until Golden Perfection
   Pop the dish in the oven and bake until the biscuit tops are golden, melty, and irresistible. For another cozy breakfast classic, check out this Spinach Egg Bake next!

Tips for the Best Results

• Layer for Fluffy, Golden Biscuits: Arrange biscuit pieces gently on top, allowing space between them so they puff up and turn gloriously golden as they bake.
• Thawed Hashbrowns for Crisp Edges: Always start with thawed hashbrowns excess moisture leads to sogginess. Press them lightly into the pan for the crispiest base.
• Cheese Timing for Ultimate Melt: Sprinkle cheese on top of the biscuits just before baking for that dreamy, melty finish.
• Watch for Even Browning: Turn your dish halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots, ensuring every bite boasts that irresistible toasted crunch.

Variations & Substitutions

Switch up the protein: Try swapping the breakfast sausage for cooked ham, crispy bacon, ground turkey, or even chorizo. Each option adds its own cozy flavor to the bake.

Go veggie-forward: Load your Hashbrown Biscuit Breakfast Bake with sautéed bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli for a lighter, colorful twist. Simply cook any extra veggies first to keep the bake creamy.

Make it lighter: Use reduced-fat cheese, low-fat milk, or a lighter biscuit option to cut down on richness without losing comfort.

Play with the cheese: You don’t have to stop at cheddar. Try Monterey Jack for extra melt, pepper jack for a kick, or a smoky gouda for a delicious spin.
