Dinners have always been a struggle for me. It’s really hard to please everyone in my family so 9 times out of 10 someone is complaining about dinner. Breakfast for dinner is my go-to because everyone typically likes breakfast foods and we can have a peaceful meal together! One of my personal favorites is the Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Bake.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb ground sausage
6 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
4 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp flour
1 Cup grated cheese
1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Start by cutting your refrigerated biscuit dough into pieces. I like to use my Zulay Kitchen Shears for this because its easier and faster! I cut each biscuit in half then cut each half into 4 pieces. Use the entire package.
Put the cut up biscuit dough into the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish in a single layer.
Next, cook up your ground sausage and layer it on top of the biscuit dough.
Beat 6 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Pour this on top of the biscuits and sausage.
Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheese on top of the egg mixture.
To make the gravy layer, start by melting 4 Tbsp butter. Add 4 Tbsp flour to make a roux. Then add 2 cups of milk. Stir and heat until thick. Add salt and pepper to taste then pour the mixture on top of the rest of the ingredients in your baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.
Remove from oven, allow to cool for a few minutes then serve. We usually have leftovers and they reheat well for breakfast!
My Zulay Kitchen Shears are one of my favorite kitchen tools. I keep them in my knife block and my kids know that is where I expect to find them when I need them — no running off with my scissors for projects! They have ultrasharp blades that can cut through anything including frozen meat, raw steak, chicken bones and vegetables. They’re great for chopping herbs, cracking nuts and crab legs, peeling fruit, opening bottles and more.
Zulay Kitchen shears were designed to last. They are made from 100% rust-proof, high grade stainless steel and expertly honed to cut through most kitchen and household items. These heavy duty scissors are dishwasher friendly and backed by Zulay’s no hassle lifetime guarantee. If there’s ever a problem, Zulay will take care of it!
Currently, Zulay Kitchen Shears are only $5.99 on Amazon. They are eligible for Prime free shipping or can be shipped free with qualified purchases of $25+. This price is very affordable, especially for such a quality item! I use mine all the time because I hate touching raw meat. I use tongs to hold the meat with one hand while I cut the meat with my Zulay Kitchen Shears in the other hand. If there’s one kitchen tool I can’t live without, it’s Zulay Kitchen Shears!

I also am a big fan of breakfast for dinner, in this fast pace world you don’t often have time to enjoy breakfast. And this sounds so quick and easy, saving this for when my sister and family come to visit in Oct.
FYI I cut up biscuit for the monkey bread but I use my pizza cutter……. quick quick
