How To Make Biscuits & Gravy Casserole

  • Make Gravy. In a large skillet cook the sausage, breaking apart until no longer pink. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and mix until no longer white. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer, season with black pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes until it is thick and creamy. Taste and add salt if necessary.
  • Beat Eggs. Beat together eggs, milk, salt, dry mustard and black pepper until really well combined.
  • Layer. Cut the biscuits into 6-8 pieces each and spread into an even layer in a 13×9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the biscuits. Pour the eggs evenly around the top of the dish. And finally pour the prepared gravy over the eggs.
  • Bake. Place casserole dish in a hot oven and cook for 40-45 minutes until puffed up, golden brown and set.
  • Serve. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to serve.

Recipe Tips & Suggestions

  • Make Ahead. You can absolutely assemble this casserole and cover tightly and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Take it out of the fridge while the oven preheats, may need to add a few extra minutes of baking time.
  • Shortcut. You can use store bought gravy if short on time or you prefer. This homemade version makes approximately 4 cups of gravy, so swap out with that amount.
  • Cheese. Mix up the cheese! I used shredded cheddar for this version, but Colby Jack, Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack are other easy great swaps.
  • Sausage. I used pork breakfast sausage for this, because it is my favorite breakfast protein. But you can use a turkey sausage if you want to lighten things up a little.
  • Milk. I make sausage gravy with skim milk, because it is what I have on hand. I know it is traditionally made with a higher fat milk and you can absolutely go that route if you want. But know it works great to use any variety of milk in this recipe.

Storage

If you have leftovers cover tightly with foil or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can heat individual slices in the microwave or in the oven until warmed through.

Freezing

This biscuits and gravy casserole actually freezes really well. You do want to bake it first, let it cool completely and then tightly cover to keep as much air out as possible. Place in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, and then you can reheat at 350º F until it is hot.
