Prepare the Gravy:
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until it is browned and crumbled. Do not drain the fat.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish.
Prepare the Biscuits:
Cut each biscuit into quarters and set aside.
Assemble the Casserole:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Spread half of the biscuit quarters evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuit layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the gravy.
Arrange the remaining biscuit quarters on top of the cheese layer.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the eggs are set.
Serve:
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
