❤️ Why You’ll Love Sausage Biscuit Casserole

If you love biscuits and gravy, this casserole takes that flavor to the next level in the easiest way possible.

Comfort food that’s simple enough for a weekday, but special enough for holidays.
A complete breakfast in one pan: biscuits, sausage, eggs, cheese, and gravy all baked together.
Perfect for feeding a crowd or meal prepping ahead of time.
Customizable with different cheeses, seasonings, or add-ins.

🗒 Tips and Tricks

Keep the biscuits cold until you’re ready to bake for the best rise.
Make the gravy a day ahead if you want to save time in the morning.
Let the casserole rest 5 minutes before slicing so it holds together nicely.
Use a thermometer to ensure egg mixture sets (center should be hot and slightly springy).

🗒 Variations

Spicy version: Use hot sausage or add red pepper flakes to the gravy.
Cheesy twist: Swap cheddar for pepper jack, gouda, or a smoky smoked cheddar.
Veggie-loaded: Stir in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers with the sausage.

Ingredients

Sausage Gravy

1 lb mild ground sausage
¼ cup unsalted butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Casserole

6 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
1–1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (12-oz.) can refrigerated biscuits

Instructions

For the Sausage Gravy

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly, 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt the butter in the skillet. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
Gradually whisk in the milk. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in seasoned salt and black pepper, and simmer 8–10 minutes until thickened. Set aside. (This can be made up to 2 days ahead.)

For the Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 cup cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour into a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooked sausage. Sprinkle the rest over the eggs. Arrange biscuits evenly over the top.
Drizzle half of the gravy over the biscuits. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese and the reserved 1/2 cup sausage.
Bake 30–35 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through and the top is lightly golden.
Reheat the remaining gravy and drizzle some over the casserole. Serve the rest on the side.
