How to Make Breakfast Casserole With Gravy
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
  4. Combine the cubed bread, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese with the egg mixture, stirring gently.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until it's set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Prepare the gravy by whisking flour into the sausage drippings in your skillet for about 1 minute.
  8. Add the chicken broth and garlic powder, stirring until thickened.
  9. Serve the casserole warm, topped with the homemade gravy.
