Ingredients

• 1 package of frozen hashbrowns (about 30 oz)
• 1 can of refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
• 1 pound of breakfast sausage
• 2 cups of milk
• 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the flour to the sausage drippings and stir to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Pour the sausage gravy over the hashbrowns, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the gravy.
6. Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange them on top of the sausage layer.
7. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the biscuits if using.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.

Expert Tips for Success

For the best results, make sure your hashbrowns are evenly spread and not clumped together. This ensures they cook evenly and get that perfect crispy texture. Also, don’t rush the gravy. Allow it to thicken properly for that rich, creamy consistency that ties the whole dish together.

Avoid overcooking the biscuits by keeping an eye on them in the last few minutes of baking. They should be golden and fluffy, not hard or burnt.
