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.
- This recipe can be assembled the night before and baked in the morning.

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
Biscuits and Gravy Casserole has all the flavor of the southern classic-Biscuits and Sausage Gravy, in casserole form and it couldn't be easier to make.
SERVINGS: 12
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.
Made this for my husbands 50th birthday and everybody loved it. I used store brand biscuits and baked it for 35 minutes. I put it together and then put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before baking. It bakes up beautifully and cuts easily. Can’t wait to make this again. If you love biscuits and gravy, you will love this casserole. 🙂
Ready to make this and all I have are Grands. Do you think if I rolled them thinner before I cut them, that it would make them cook better? Please advise. My family can’t wait to taste this casserole and neither can I. ♥
I’ve made this with grand. Just place them side by side in the pan. Don’t cut them and pour everything over them the same as you would.
Excellent! We loved it!!
Tried it👍turned out great. Will make for Christmas morning for the family gathering.
This looks yummy, but I’m left wondering what the Nutrition Info looks like, and will be thinking how to make it healthier, even though it IS biscuits and gravy and eggs and sausage and cheese!!!
Do you have the nutritional data on it?
THANKS!
I baked it and used 8 eggs, I used more cheese than the recipe called for because this family loves cheese! It did have to cook longer than the recipe called for, but I did use grands so that may be why. It is delicious, seriously your family will love you for it so COOK IT🙂
Baked this tonight and it was delicious. However, it took an extra 30 minutes (and turning the oven up to 400 the last 10 min) to get the biscuits completely cooked. Will probably squish them into a crust so they don’t float up into the egg mixture, or just use a pie crust next time since this is essentially a quiche. 😉 Definitely will make again!
I was thinking the same thing!!! My family doesn’t care for biscuits but this looks so good, I HAVE TO MAKE IT!! I’m gona try it in pie crust as a quiche instead. I’m sure it’ll be just as yummy 😋.
You could probably also use a croissant dough sheet too.
Could this be frozen and cooked at a later date??
I would like to know the answer to this too!
Haven’t made it yet, but could you make with homemade biscuits? I don’t have fridge biscuits but I do want to try this. Been wanting biscuits and gravy for so long. But we don’t eat pork and nowhere does turkey breakfast sausage so I want to try this out. Thank you.
I would think you could. I’ve tried tied many recipes that called for refrigerated biscuit s with a quick homemade rolled biscuit dough and it turned out just fine. I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but it’s on the menu for tomorrow’s breakfast! I will prep tonight and put in the fridge until morning bake time!
Buy the ground turkey and season to liking. You can look up how to make homemade turkey breakfast sausage.
Why rate a recipe you haven’t made
I’ve been making a recipe like this for a few years with homemade biscuit dough. I pre bake the biscuit base at temp biscuit recipe suggests until they are just barely done. Then I add all the other ingredients and finish baking at casserole temp. I have wondered if I could bake it all together, but I really don’t want to mess up a whole batch.
I like the idea of par baking the biscuits. Thanks for the tip
Did you know you can make your own sausage with ground turkey? I have not done that, but have seen recipes with the spices needed for flavor.
If I triple the recipe will I have to cook it longer?
I used one pound of Jimmy Dean regular sausage and one pound Jimmy Dean hot sausage. Doubling the sausage made it more substantial and mixing the sausages gave it great flavor without being too spicy. My family loved it!
Food is in the oven and the house is smelling nice! Can’t wait
Just made this. Cant wait to try it out.
I wonder if you could use egg beaters instead of eggs?
I think that would work fine Joan.
I used egg beaters and it worked just fine. It was delicious!
Tips for making this the night before?
Can this be assembled the night before and cooked in the morning?
I first made this last week and will be making this again because it was such a huge hit! I used Grands because it’s what we had on hand and they baked perfectly fine in an 8×11.5x2in baking dish. Taking a previous reviewer’s advice, I baked this for an extra 5 minutes (35 minutes total) to make sure the Grands were done all the way through. It was perfect. I also just used 6 eggs because we had only 10 on hand. I’ll be making this again with just the 4 remaining eggs. It’ll be just fine because you don’t even need the eggs to help with the baking of any of the ingredients. They’re just there to help bind the biscuits together a little bit even though the biscuits will bake into each other. I also used country gravy mix from a packet to save on cooking time. It worked just fine!
This recipe is perfect for Christmas morning. Very easy to make and wonderful taste to tingle your tastebuds for more Christmas treats.
Christin, one question:
Reheat in microwave or have to do it in oven.??? Only 2 of us – we shared the remainder w neighbor. Hubby felt it isn’t reheatable.
Can you do it in a crockpot? Or electric roaster?
I got one am glad it says 7 eggs & you suggest NOT using Grands.
I copy recipes on my PC to keep on my iPhone – in Drop Box. But I forgot to type in where I got it. I Googled like 10 food websites & couldnt find it @ first. It was those 2 ingredients that made t stand apart. Majority used Grands & number of egged was 6 or 8….. no one else had lucky number SEVEN!
I do know it was outrageously delicious‼️TY Christin❗️
