Introduction

This Biscuits and Gravy Casserole combines two beloved breakfast classics into one comforting dish. Packed with savory sausage gravy, fluffy eggs, and cheesy biscuits, it’s perfect for a hearty brunch or family gathering.

The image shows a square piece of a layered breakfast casserole on a white plate sitting on a white marbled texture. The casserole has three visible layers: the top layer is a golden brown, slightly crispy baked crust with bits of cooked sausage mixed with melted light yellow cheese and specks of black pepper. The middle layer is thick and white, looking soft and fluffy like biscuit dough. The bottom layer is a thin, pale yellow egg layer. Behind the casserole, there is a silver fork resting on the plate.

Ingredients

1 pound breakfast sausage
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

4 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tube Pillsbury Biscuits (8 count)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350º F and spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, breaking it apart, and cook until no longer pink. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stir, and cook until the mixture is smooth with no white streaks.
Step 3: Slowly pour in 4 cups of milk while stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of black pepper. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the gravy thickens and becomes creamy. Adjust salt to taste.
Step 4: In a bowl, beat together the eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, dry mustard powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.

Step 5: Cut each biscuit into 6-8 pieces and spread them evenly over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuits.
Step 6: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit and cheese layer. Then scoop the sausage gravy on top and spread it into a mostly even layer.
Step 7: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the casserole is golden brown, puffed up, and set in the center.

Step 8: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

Use spicy breakfast sausage for a little heat or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese for extra flavor.
Add sautéed onions or bell peppers to the sausage for more texture and flavor.

Make sure to cut the biscuits into evenly sized pieces so they cook uniformly in the casserole.
For a gluten-free version, substitute biscuits with your favorite gluten-free biscuit dough and use gluten-free flour for the gravy.

Storage

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat the whole casserole covered with foil in a 350ºF oven for about 20 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuits instead of canned?

Yes, homemade biscuits work well and add a fresh touch. Just make sure to cut them into pieces similar in size to canned biscuits so the casserole cooks evenly.

Can I prepare this casserole ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble the casserole the night before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. When ready, bake it in the preheated oven, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from cold.
