Description

This comforting Biscuits and Gravy Casserole features savory breakfast sausage smothered in creamy homemade gravy layered with flaky biscuit dough and melted cheddar cheese. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch, this easy-to-make casserole can be assembled ahead of time and baked fresh when ready to serve. The rich blend of sausage, spices, and cheese baked until golden creates a satisfying meal inspired by classic southern flavors.

Ingredients

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Biscuit Layer

  • 1 (8-count) can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, about 6 to 8 minutes. Do not drain the fat as it adds flavor to the gravy.
  3. Make Roux: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage in the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the flour to form a roux and cook out its raw taste.
  4. Add Milk and Seasoning: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes if using, stirring to combine.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters. Spread half of the biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit layer. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the gravy. Arrange the remaining biscuit pieces over the cheese or gravy layer.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the gravy to set slightly for easier slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead version, assemble the casserole the night before, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake fresh in the morning and increase baking time by 5 to 10 minutes to ensure it’s heated through.
  • You can substitute homemade sausage gravy and biscuits if preferred for a more personalized touch.
  • Adjust the spice level of the sausage and gravy by choosing mild or spicy sausage and adding or omitting the crushed red pepper flakes.
