One of my favorite breakfast baked all into a casserole. This Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is made with an amazing sausage gravy bottom layer and topped with biscuit pieces and baked.
This recipe is one of my favorite breakfast recipes. Sausage gravy has been a favorite of mine since I was young, and my Granny would make it for me.
Turning it into a casserole was one of my best ideas to date and this recipe is so simple to make and a family favorite.
How to make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole:
Cook: Start by cooking your sausage. You then want to make your gravy. Pour the sausage gravy into a casserole dish.
Prep: Slice your biscuits into quarters. Place the biscuits on top of the sausage gravy in the casserole dish.
Bake: Bake until the biscuits are golden brown. Serve with some eggs and fresh fruit.
Ingredients:
- Ground Breakfast Sausage
- Flour: I used a all purpose flour.
- Seasoning: garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Milk: I used a 2% milk
- Butter: unsalted and melted.
- Refrigerated or Canned Biscuit Dough
Directions
Step one: In a large skillet cook and crumble your ground sausage until cooked through.
Step two: Next use a small mixing bowl to mix together flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add to skillet with ground sausage and cook until absorbed.
Step three: Next you want to add milk and stir.
Bring to a simmer, cook, and frequently stir on low around 5 minutes while gravy starts to thicken.
Step four: Once your gravy is thickened pour the gravy into a casserole dish.
Slice canned biscuits into 4 pieces and add to the top of the gravy.
Step five: Bake for 15-20 minutes until your biscuits are golden brown.
Last brush the top of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Pro Tip: Brushing on butter is optional but it really helps to give your biscuits that perfect golden brown color.
Tips and FAQ
Can I make this ahead of time? When making this the day before I suggest making the gravy the night before but adding the biscuits to it when you are ready to bake.
This way your biscuits don't become soggy overnight.
Can I Freeze this recipe? This recipe can be frozen. Again, I would suggest you prepare your gravy and freeze it.
When you are ready to back allow the gravy to thaw overnight in the fridge. Then place your biscuits on top and bake.

Made this as recipe stated and biscuits stayed doughy. Was baked 20 minutes. Covered it with foil and baked an additional 10 minutes
Whole Family Loved it
That is great to hear!
Why have I not made this before? Genius!
I've made this before and it was great. The past couple times the biscuits are doughy on bottom I dont know where I went wrong...
I thought I followed the instructions to a T, but when I made it, the gravy was super runny and still super liquidy. When completed, the gravy + milk mixture was still a liquid and never thickened, after simmering it for 5+ minutes. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do better next time? It was still delicious, the biscuit parts that were solid that I could actually eat.
If you find it to be runny I would set it aside for 3-5 minutes before serving. Most the time it will thicken as it cools. Hope the helps!
If using pork sausage, should it be drained before adding the flour, etc?
I do not drain any fat when making this. The flour will absorb it.
Do I need to double this recipe if using a 9x13 you didn’t put what size you used so I’m not quite sure. Thank you
9x13 should fit it doubled.
If I double this do you suggest using a 9x13 pan? Also what cooking time would you suggest if doubled?
Hi Taylor, yes that size pan should work to double the recipe. The cooking time should stay the same since the meat is already cooked.
Great recipe my family requested I make this for the second Sunday in a row. Today is the third! Lol they love it!
So happy to hear that!!
Can you use frozen biscuits?
Hi Jenn, I have not used frozen biscuits for this recipe but I think you could but it might need more time to bake. I would following the cooking instructions on the frozen biscuits.
Can this be made the night before and then put in the oven to bake the next day?
Hi Meridith! I would go ahead and make the gravy and just add the biscuit the next day before baking. Adding them before could get them soggy.
Hope you enjoy this recipe!
I have a 13×9 pan will that work?
Yes that will work! Hope you enjoy the recipe!
I am thinking of making this for my sons football team, how many does this original recipe serve?
Hi Debbie! This recipe can serve 5 but with football players maybe 3-4 😉 I have three growing boys and now how much they can eat! I hope you and the team enjoy the recipe.
Can this be frozen?
Yes this can be frozen. When I freeze it I usually make the sausage gravy portion and freeze that. You can place it in the fridge the night before baking then just top it with the biscuits before you place it in the oven. Hope that helps Michelle!
A recipe that we loved!! Thanks so much for sharing!
