How to Make Biscuits & Gravy Casserole
Here’s how to make this easy breakfast casserole. You can find the printable version of this recipe below.
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease the baking dish.
- Cook the sausage. Cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain off fat.
- Assemble. Cut the biscuits into 4 pieces and spread over the bottom of the pan. Add the cooked sausage over the biscuit dough then sprinkle the cheese over the sausage. Whisk together the eggs and milk, season with salt and pepper, and pour over the casserole.

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.

Made this for Mother’s day breakfast, 4 of us and it’s gone, LoL, was delicious and easy!! In fact I passed the recipe onto our guests!
Easy peasy and my family loves this! I’m not a fan of biscuits and gravy but I even like it.
My family loves this casserole. We add peppers, onions and mushrooms to it. And have to make a double batch because they love leftovers. Thank you for a simple yet delicious meal.
What is peppered gravy no clue what do I purchase at store????
Hi Ann. It is a simple gravy with just a few ingredients. You can purchase a mix from the store or make from scratch.
So easy quick and delicious. Great for one of those rush out the door to get Grandaughter to dance lessons.
This recipe is easy to make and delicious. This will be the second week I’ve made it. My husband and I eat it every day during the week for breakfast. It’s in my regular recipe rotation now!
I’m hoping to make this tonight or tomorrow because it looks so good, but I have grands frozen biscuits. Can I use those instead of refrigerator biscuits?
Yes, you could use those.
I actually prefer this recipe with grands. I defrost them in the microwave and cut into fours.
Simple easy breakfast the whole family will enjoy!! We decided to use hot sausage and we loved it!! Will be making this again!!
Super easy, quick & delicious! Whole family loved.
EXCELLENT! Wouldn’t change a thing!!
My family loves it. I make it at least once a week , switching meats and veggie
We love this casserole and have made it several times. We are taking one to church for breakfast tomorrow!
I have a question. Can you double the gravy and would you cook it for the same amount of time? We LOVE gravy but I don’t want soggy undone biscuits!
Thanks 🙂
I always use the two cups of gravy and the biscuits are cooked through. You can’t fail if you follow the recipe. The first time I made this I didn’t notice the gravy was less than 2 cups. It was a little dry. So now I always add a little milk to my cooked gravy to be sure it’s the whole 2 cups. Good luck!
I would make an extra packet of gravy and pour over the top when serving!
Just made this recipe this morning and IT WAS DELICIOUS!! My kids loved it too. It was so simple to make and I will definitely be making it again.
I made this recipe and omg it’d amazing! I cooked bacon and crumbled it on top after the oven! Was delicious!!!!! Will be making more often
