Here’s a hearty Biscuits and Gravy Casserole—all the Southern breakfast flavor baked into one easy dish: fluffy biscuits, creamy sausage gravy, and a golden top.
🥓 Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
🛒 Ingredients
🧁 Base
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (or homemade biscuit dough)
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing dish)
🥩 Sausage gravy
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups milk (whole milk gives best texture)
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper (important for classic flavor)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
🥚 Optional add-ins
- 4–6 eggs (for a breakfast casserole version)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the sausage
- In a skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked.
- Do not drain all the fat (you need some for the gravy base).
2. Make the gravy
- Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage and stir for 1–2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in milk.
- Cook until thick and creamy (about 5–7 minutes).
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Prepare biscuits
- Cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Place half in a greased baking dish.
4. Assemble casserole
- Pour half the sausage gravy over biscuits.
- Add remaining biscuit pieces.
- If using eggs: whisk eggs and pour over now.
- Top with remaining gravy.
- Sprinkle cheese on top if desired.
5. Bake
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 30–40 minutes
- Biscuits should be golden and cooked through, and casserole bubbling.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Serve hot with hot sauce or pepper flakes
- Add scrambled eggs on the side for extra protein
- Great with fruit or hash browns for a full breakfast plate
🔥 Tips
- Don’t overcook gravy—it thickens more in the oven
- For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of milk
- If biscuits brown too fast, loosely cover with foil
🥓 What it tastes like
Think of it as a baked version of the classic Southern comfort dish biscuits and gravy—creamy, peppery sausage gravy soaked into fluffy biscuits, all in one scoopable casserole.
If you want, I can also make you a spicy jalapeño version, a make-ahead overnight version, or a low-carb biscuit substitute version.
