My 2 Best Tips For Making Breakfast Casserole With Biscuits And Gravy

Perfect Biscuit Texture: For the best texture, cut your biscuits into quarters rather than smaller pieces. This size allows them to soak up the gravy while still maintaining some structure. If using larger biscuits than the standard 8-count package, adjust by cutting them slightly smaller.

Enhance Your Sausage Flavor: Brown your sausage thoroughly before adding it to the gravy, making sure to develop those crispy bits that add tremendous flavor. For an extra flavor boost, add ½ teaspoon of sage or a tablespoon of maple syrup while browning the sausage.

Ingredients

1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count package)
1 pound ground sausage (cooked)
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups whole milk (plus 2 tablespoons)
6 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Use a knife or a pair of scissors to cut up the biscuit dough and transfer the pieces to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
In a small pot or pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is completely melted, whisk in the flour. Add the milk, pepper, and salt. Whisk continuously for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
Once the gravy has thickened, stir in the sausage and pour the mixture over the biscuit pieces.
Whisk the eggs and remaining milk together and add the mixture to the baking dish.
Bake your casserole for 30 minutes, or until the top of the casserole is no longer jiggly.

Notes

Easy Slicing: This casserole will become easier to slice the more it cools.

Make It Spicy: This casserole can be made with any kind of ground breakfast sausage. We like to use spicy sausage to add a little heat to the casserole. For extra heat, add ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes to your gravy.

Watch The Gravy: It is important to stir the gravy consistently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning!

Storing & Reheating: Store your leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat a slice of the casserole in the microwave for 45-60 seconds.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this breakfast casserole with biscuits and gravy ahead of time?

Yes! This casserole is perfect for preparing ahead. You can assemble the entire casserole the night before, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove it from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking to bring it closer to room temperature, then bake as directed, adding about 5-10 extra minutes to the baking time.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated?

Yes, homemade biscuit dough works wonderfully in this recipe. Prepare your favorite biscuit recipe, cut the dough into small pieces, and use it in place of the refrigerated biscuits. The texture may vary slightly, but the result will be just as delicious with that special homemade touch.

Can I freeze this breakfast casserole?

Absolutely! This breakfast casserole with biscuits and gravy freezes beautifully. After baking, allow it to cool completely, then portion and freeze in airtight containers or wrap tightly with aluminum foil for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through (about 20 minutes) or microwave individual portions.
