Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Introduction

When you need a breakfast that’s bold, comforting, and guaranteed to feed a crowd, nothing rivals the southern classic: Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole. This dish brings together fluffy biscuits, creamy sausage gravy, and a perfectly set egg layer, transforming weekend or holiday mornings into memorable feasts.

A true crowd-pleaser, this casserole is made for sharing—whether it’s a family brunch or a potluck. Plus, it’s a major time-saver thanks to its one-pan convenience and make-ahead flexibility.

Why This Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Works

By baking everything together, you infuse the biscuits with the rich, peppery sausage gravy, locking in flavor in every bite. The top bakes to golden, biscuit perfection while the interior remains tender and utterly moreish. Just assemble, bake, and serve—no juggling multiple skillets or biscuit trays, and cleanup is a breeze.

Creating Rich, Creamy Sausage Gravy

The signature component of this casserole is classic southern-style sausage gravy. Browning the sausage deeply unlocks flavor; then, flour and milk transform the drippings into a crave-worthy cream sauce. To ensure lump-free gravy, try breaking up the sausage using the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher—it gives the perfect texture, from big crumbles to a fine, even blend.

Once the sausage gravy is velvety and peppery, set it aside and begin assembling your layers.

How to Assemble a Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Start with your favorite refrigerated or homemade biscuit dough, cutting biscuits into quarters for better coverage and easy serving. Layer half in the bottom of a greased baking dish, then pour over most of the hot sausage gravy. Beat eggs and milk (a few quick pulses in the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender delivers a perfectly smooth mixture) and pour over everything. Top with the rest of the biscuit pieces and a final drizzle of gravy.

Bake until puffed, golden, and bubbling—a mouthwatering sight that signals breakfast is served.

Serving and Storing Tips for Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Slice warm, generous portions directly from the pan. This casserole pairs perfectly with fresh fruit, a green salad, or a round of mimosas. To keep the rest fresh, transfer leftovers into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers; they help lock in the casserole’s moisture and reheat beautifully the next morning.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish using a little oil from the YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer for Cooking for even coverage with minimal mess.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a Farberware Professional Meat and Potato Masher until browned and crumbly. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and black pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Taste and add salt as needed. Remove from heat.
4. Scatter half of the quartered biscuits in the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Pour over about two-thirds of the sausage gravy. Sprinkle with half the cheese, if using.
5. In a mixing bowl (or using the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender for extra fluffiness), blend eggs with 1/2 cup milk and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit and gravy layers.
6. Top with the remaining biscuit pieces and drizzle with the rest of the gravy, finishing with the rest of the cheese if desired.
7. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the casserole is set, biscuits are golden, and the center no longer jiggles when moved. Protect your hands by using a KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set when removing from the oven.
8. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired and serve warm.
