Sausage Gravy

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 3 cups milk
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Egg Mixture

• 6 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.

• Freezing option: Freeze before baking and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
• Optional cheese and parsley add flavor and color but can be omitted for a simpler dish.
