Why You’ll Love This Lazy Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

It captures all the best elements of a Southern breakfast without the multitasking. You’ll get golden-baked biscuits, savory sausage, and creamy country-style gravy in every forkful. This casserole is a true crowd-pleaser that can easily stretch to serve guests, and it reheats beautifully.

What Kind of Biscuits Should I Use?

Refrigerated canned biscuits work like a charm here, especially flaky layers or buttermilk style. They bake up fluffy inside the casserole and hold their structure even after soaking up the rich sausage gravy. You can also use frozen biscuits (thawed) or even leftover homemade ones, but make sure they’re not too dense or they won’t absorb the liquid properly.

Ingredients for the Lazy Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

For this cozy breakfast casserole, you only need a few familiar ingredients that work together to build layers of flavor. Each one plays a key role in keeping the dish creamy, hearty, and downright irresistible.

Canned biscuits provide the soft, doughy base that fluffs up in the oven while absorbing flavor.

Pork sausage gives a rich, savory bite and adds depth to the gravy.

All-purpose flour helps thicken the sausage gravy for that classic creaminess.

Milk creates the smooth base for the gravy and brings everything together.

Eggs add structure to the casserole and make the final texture more custardy.

Cheddar cheese melts throughout the dish for extra gooeyness and tang.

Salt and black pepper enhance the flavors in every layer.

How To Make the Lazy Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish so nothing sticks.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the pork sausage until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Don’t drain the fat unless it’s excessive, as you’ll need it for the gravy base.

Step 3: Make the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour over the sausage in the skillet. Stir to coat and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and keep stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Layer the Casserole

Cut the canned biscuits into quarters and scatter them across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them over the top. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake the casserole for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

How to Serve and Store This Breakfast Casserole

This Lazy Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole is hearty enough to stand on its own but also makes a fantastic addition to a full brunch table. It feeds 6 to 8 people generously and slices cleanly once cooled slightly.

To store leftovers, let the casserole cool completely. Transfer slices to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 325°F oven or microwave individual portions until heated through.
