Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the sausage gravy:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Brown the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain off excess grease and set aside.

Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuits and sausage.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake for about 20 minutes while you prepare the gravy.

To make the gravy, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute.

Slowly whisk in the 2 1/2 cups of milk. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. Stir in the salt and black pepper.

Remove the casserole from the oven and pour the sausage gravy evenly over the top.

Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the eggs are set.

Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for Making Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

• Use flaky biscuits: Refrigerated flaky biscuit dough works especially well in this recipe.
• Make it cheesy: Add extra cheddar cheese or try Monterey Jack for a different flavor.
• Adjust the gravy: If you prefer thinner gravy, add a little extra milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
• Add some heat: Use hot breakfast sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy.

Can You Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Ahead of Time?

You can brown the sausage and prepare the gravy the night before. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

In the morning, assemble the casserole with the biscuits, eggs, sausage, and cheese, then bake and add the warmed gravy as directed. For the best texture, I recommend baking it fresh rather than assembling the entire casserole the night before, since the biscuits can become soggy.

What to Serve with Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

This hearty casserole is delicious served with fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee, or a cup of hot chocolate. If you’re planning a Christmas breakfast or holiday brunch, you can also serve it alongside something sweet.
