Ingredients

1 (16 oz) package buttermilk biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
6 large eggs
1 lb breakfast sausage (any flavor)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
½ cup milk
2 cups prepared peppered gravy (from a mix or homemade)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3: Layer the Biscuits and Sausage
Cut the biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces, followed by the shredded cheese.

Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit and sausage layers.

Step 5: Add the Gravy
Prepare the peppered gravy according to the package instructions (or use homemade gravy). Pour the gravy evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the biscuits are golden brown, and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 7: Serve
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips for the Best Biscuits & Gravy Casserole

  • Use high-quality sausage. The flavor of the sausage will shine through, so choose one you love.
  • Don’t skip the gravy. The gravy adds moisture and flavor, so make sure to cover the entire casserole.
  • Customize the cheese. Try pepper jack for a spicy kick or a blend of cheeses for extra flavor.
  • Add veggies. Stir in sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach for a boost of nutrition.

Variations

Spicy Biscuits & Gravy Casserole

Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy Casserole
Replace the sausage with plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms. Use vegetarian gravy.

Cheesy Biscuits & Gravy Casserole
Double the amount of cheese for an extra cheesy version.
