Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 can Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes about 1/2 inch in size. Place the diced potatoes into a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the pan. If there is excess grease, drain it.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Slowly pour the whole milk into the roux while whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the cooked potatoes and browned sausage to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the cheese sauce. Pour the sausage and potato mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits evenly over the top of the sausage and potato mixture.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
