Several years back I whipped up this wonderful breakfast casserole for myself for Mother’s Day. It’s so easy almost anyone could make it for the wonderful mother in their life. This breakfast (or brunch) casserole is full of the homestyle flavors of biscuits and gravy, but lightened up to give mom a guilt free meal!

Since this is an older recipe, I decided to revisit it, and wouldn’t you know it? Not far off from Mother’s Day again. It’s a happy coincidence!

To lighten this country breakfast I made my own sausage gravy. I was little nervous to do so the first time I made this because I hadn’t done it before, but it turned out fantastic. As a note to all the coconut haters out there, I have to say that coconut is not one of my favorite flavors, but coconut oil is quickly becoming one of my new best friends in the kitchen. Don't worry, it doesn't taste like coconut much at all, and so little is being used here with other big bold flavors that even if it did, you wouldn't notice.

I used a vegetarian meatless sausage too. I served my casserole with some fresh fruit, but a more savor side such as grape/cherry tomatoes would be just as good too.

Again, I can't say it enough that the gravy here is out standing. For being made with just a handful of simple ingredients, it's full of flavor and not of fat or prepackaged mystery things! Careful, this stuff is addicting.
