Ready to dive in? Follow these steps to bring this comforting dish to life:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
4. Gradually whisk in the milk, allowing the mixture to thicken to a gravy consistency. Season with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
5. Cut the biscuit dough into quarters and layer half of them in the prepared baking dish.
6. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit pieces, ensuring they are fully covered.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and pour over the sausage gravy layer.
8. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces and sprinkle cheese over them if desired.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the eggs are set.
10. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.

Cooking alongside my abuela taught me to trust my senses. If the biscuits look golden and smell heavenly, you know you’re on the right track!
