What Kind of Biscuits Should I Use?

If you’re feeling extra, you can also use homemade biscuit dough, just make sure to par-bake it slightly before layering into the casserole.
Ingredients for the Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
Buttermilk Biscuits – These create the fluffy, bready base of the casserole, soaking up all the gravy deliciousness.
Breakfast Sausage – A must-have for that rich, meaty flavor. Use a mild or spicy version depending on your preference.
All-Purpose Flour – This thickens the gravy, helping it cling to every bite.
Milk – Whole milk adds creaminess and richness to the sausage gravy.
Salt & Black Pepper – Classic seasonings that bring out all the comforting flavors.
Cheddar Cheese – Melts into a golden, bubbly layer on top, adding irresistible cheesiness.
Eggs – Help bind everything together and add structure to the casserole.
How To Make the Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until fully cooked. Break it up into crumbles, then remove and set aside. Do not drain the grease.
Step 2: Make the Gravy
Using the same skillet with the sausage drippings, stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until golden. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Add salt and pepper to taste, then stir the sausage back in.
Step 3: Layer the Casserole
Cut the biscuits into quarters and spread half of them into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour half of the sausage gravy on top. Repeat the layers with the remaining biscuits and gravy.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Cheese
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a splash of milk. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Sprinkle the top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

How to Serve and Store Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
This casserole is best enjoyed warm right out of the oven, when the biscuits are fluffy and the gravy is still creamy. Serve it in squares with a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color.
For leftovers, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. You can also freeze individual portions for up to one month.
