Biscuits and Gravy Casserole has all the flavor of the southern classic-Biscuits and Gravy, in casserole form and it couldn’t be easier to make.It is great to make for a family brunch and leftovers reheat well.
This recipe uses refrigerated biscuits along with a homemade sausage gravy to make a filling, stick to your ribs breakfast casserole.
With biscuits, eggs, and sausage, this is an all-in-one breakfast. There’s also cheese for good measure.
Tips For Making Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
- Regular breakfast sausage is fine. Use hot sausage if you want a little heat. Sage-flavored sausage is also good.
- I personally prefer a NON-Grands Pillsbury refrigerated biscuit. They don’t puff up as much as the Grands which tend to overwhelm the casserole.
- Cheddar cheese can be used instead of Colby Jack.

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (8-count) tube refrigerated biscuits,, best not to use Grands becasue they puff up so much
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 7 eggs
- 1 (8-ounce) block Colby Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9X13-inch baking dish.
- Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces and scatter biscuit pieces across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Cook sausage in a large pan, crumbling it with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once fully cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. I like to leave about 1/4 cup of sausage in the pan for the gravy.
- Add butter to the grease in the pan and set pan over medium heat. Add flour and stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Whisk together eggs with remaining 1/2 cup milk in a medium bowl. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle sausage over biscuits. Sprinkle 1/2 of cheese over sausage.
- Pour egg mixture on top, followed by gravy and remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.

Folks – the whole idea behind any recipe is to use it as a starter and then make it your own. We love this recipe, but find it a little eggy, so we cut back the eggs to 5 or 6 depending on size. We also like fluffier biscuits so we do use the Grands flakey biscuits. We also like a little more gravy so i use 3 tbls butter and an about 1/3 cup flour and all the milk goes into the gravy with none in the eggs. I also add a little onion powder to the gravy as well. Season the gravy to taste – always. Then layer it per this recipe. Cooking time can vary but 30 – 35 minutes is about right with the oven at 350. This is a great recipe but keep in mind everybody’s taste is different. Make it your own and enjoy!
Hi, sorry to say, this wasn’t what I hoped it would be.
I love good biscuits and gravy, and I love a good cheesy egg bake. I really thought this was going to be awesome, but it fell short of my hopes.
It wasn’t horrible, but not really good. The combo of the two meals combined into one just didn’t go together.
Also, I followed this recipe to the “T”, and it took closer to 50 minutes to get done, a bit more than the recipe indicates.
It was still worth trying.
My family’s favorite breakfast/brunch! I make it at least once a month. Delicious
wii attemp to do!!!
Amazing recipe that is now a Christmas tradition!
