Tips & Variations

Here are some tips for making the best biscuits & gravy casserole, as well as some ways to customize it.

Use your favorite sausage. I like to use a mild breakfast sausage as it adds some flavor but not too much spice for the picky eaters. However, you could also use maple sausage for a sweeter flavor or even spicy breakfast sausage.
Make extra gravy. If you’re a gravy fan, feel free to make extra gravy to serve on the side.
Add bacon. Bacon is a great replacement for sausage or you can even add it in addition to the sausage for an extra meaty casserole.
Don’t overbrown. If you notice the top of the biscuits and gravy casserole getting a little too brown (especially if you make it in advance), tent some foil over the top to stop it from burning.
Use your favorite cheese. I love cheddar in this recipe but you could use a cheese blend or whatever your favorite shredded cheese is.

Can I Make This In Advance?

Yes! You can easily make this biscuits & gravy casserole the night before. Just put the whole casserole together as directed, but instead of baking it, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and heat the oven. Bake the casserole as directed, but you’ll need to add about 20 minutes to the baking time. Check the casserole often towards the end of the baking time to be sure it doesn’t burn.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

Fridge. Keep the leftover casserole in the refrigerator covered with plastic. It will keep for up to three days.
Freeze. You can also freeze this biscuits and gravy casserole. Individual servings can be wrapped tightly in plastic and frozen or you can bake it right in a freezer-safe container, let it cool, and freeze. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in the oven.
Reheat. Reheat individual servings in the microwave in 30-second cooking intervals until warm. You could also reheat the whole casserole in the oven at 350F until heated through, just cover the top with foil to prevent burning.
