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.

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❗️
