What Kind of Biscuits Should I Use?

You can absolutely use refrigerated canned biscuits for this recipe, and they work beautifully. But if you have the time and love making biscuits from scratch, go for it. Just make sure they’re not too thick so they cook through evenly. A buttery Southern-style biscuit pairs especially well with the savory sausage gravy.

Ingredients for the Biscuits & Gravy Casserole

To create this ultimate comfort food, you’ll need a handful of classic, pantry-friendly ingredients that come together with ease.

• Refrigerated biscuits: These provide that fluffy, golden base and top layer. Choose buttermilk-style for extra richness.
• Breakfast sausage: A savory ground sausage is key to building deep flavor in the gravy.
• All-purpose flour: Helps thicken the gravy into the perfect creamy texture.
• Milk: Whole milk works best here, creating a smooth, comforting sauce.
• Salt and black pepper: Simple seasonings that enhance the sausage gravy.
• Eggs: Help bind the casserole together and give it structure.
• Cheddar cheese (optional): Adds an extra layer of indulgence and flavor.

How To Make the Biscuits & Gravy Casserole

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Start by browning your breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it into crumbles and cook until it’s fully browned. Don’t drain the grease — you’ll use it for the gravy.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to coat. Cook for about 1 minute, then gradually pour in the milk while stirring. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens into a creamy sausage gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and spread half of them across the bottom of the dish. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit layer.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them over the sausage gravy. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces and sprinkle with cheese if using.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Serving and Storing Your Casserole

This casserole feeds 6 to 8 people generously, making it ideal for gatherings. Serve it straight from the oven while the biscuits are fluffy and the gravy is bubbling.

Leftovers? They store well! Let the casserole cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the entire dish in a 300°F oven.
