Description
Biscuits & Gravy Casserole is a hearty, comforting breakfast classic turned into an easy baked dish. Fluffy biscuits are layered with creamy sausage gravy, making it a perfect option for weekend brunches, holiday mornings, or feeding a hungry crowd with minimal effort.
Ingredients
-
1 pound breakfast sausage
-
2–3 tablespoons butter (see note)
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
3 cups whole milk
-
1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. If using pork sausage, drain but reserve the fat; for turkey sausage, add more butter as needed.
-
Add butter to the skillet with the sausage (use 2 tablespoons if you have pork fat; 3 tablespoons if using leaner meat). Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until combined.
-
Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper. Simmer until the gravy thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
-
Cut biscuits into quarters.
-
Assemble the casserole: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread half the biscuit pieces in the dish. Pour sausage gravy over the biscuits. Top with remaining biscuit pieces.
-
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
-
For extra richness, add shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking.
-
Use spicy sausage for a flavorful kick.
-
You can prepare the gravy the night before and assemble the casserole in the morning for quicker prep.
- If you prefer a crispier top, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
