Ingredients

This casserole comes together with a list of simple ingredients:

• Pork Breakfast Sausage: The savory star of the show. Choose a high-quality, flavorful sausage.
• All-Purpose Flour: It transforms the sausage drippings into a luscious gravy.
• Whole Milk: It adds richness and creaminess to the gravy. Whole milk is best, but 2% can work in a pinch.
• Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: I use Pillsbury Grands. There’s no need to make them from scratch!
• Large Eggs: The binding ingredient that holds everything together.
• Milk: A splash of milk helps create a light, custardy texture in the egg mixture.
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese: A melty, gooey addition to take the casserole to the next level.
• Seasonings: Throw in salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder for flavor.

How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

With just a few easy steps, you can have this casserole prepped and ready.

• Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
• Make the gravy. In a large skillet, brown the sausage, then remove from the pan. Add the flour and cook in the remaining fat. Whisk in the rest of the gravy ingredients and cook until thick. Then stir the sausage back in.
• Cut the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Scatter the pieces in the prepared baking dish.
• Mix the eggs. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup cheese, milk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Pour over the biscuits in the dish.
• Assemble. Top with 3/4 of the sausage gravy and the rest of the cheese.
• Bake. Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes until the eggs are set and the biscuits are cooked through.
• Rest and serve. Let stand 10 minutes. Reheat the rest of the gravy and portions with extra sauce on top and chopped parsley if desired.

Tips for the Best Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Follow these easy tips for the very best casserole:

• Par-bake the biscuits. Cut the biscuits into pieces. Par-bake half of them in the casserole dish for 12 minutes. Then add the other ingredients. This prevents the bottom layer of biscuits from getting soggy.
• Give ‘em space. Space out the biscuits and don’t let them touch for even cooking.
• Quality is key. Use a high-quality, flavorful breakfast sausage for the best results in the gravy.
• Using a well-seasoned sausage? Adjust or omit the additional sage and spices in the gravy to avoid overpowering flavors.
• Make a skinnier gravy. If the gravy becomes too thick, stir in additional milk as needed.
• Give it a rest. After baking, let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the gravy to thicken.
