What is Biscuits and Gravy Casserole?

The traditional Biscuits and Gravy is a Southern breakfast dish that consists of soft dough biscuits smothered in a rich, creamy gravy. The gravy is made from the drippings of pork sausage, along with flour, milk, and the bits of cooked sausage. With this casserole, you get all of the same classic taste in one dish!

How to make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole:

This easy breakfast casserole is a great way to serve classic biscuits and gravy to a crowd. You simply prepare a sausage gravy from scratch (which only takes minutes), and then bake the gravy with store-bought Pillsbury biscuits on top!

You’ll need the following ingredients:

• Ground pork sausage
• Butter
• All-purpose flour
• Whole milk
• Sage, black pepper and salt
• A can of buttermilk biscuits

First, prepare the sausage gravy in a large skillet.

Transfer the gravy to a 3-quart baking dish, and then top with the biscuit dough. I use a 16.3 ounce can of Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits, but you can substitute with any similar product — or make your own biscuit dough from scratch!

Just cut each biscuit into quarters…

…and arrange the dough pieces in a single layer on top of the gravy.

Bake the casserole in a 400 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes, or just until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Cook’s Tips and Recipe Variations:

• Swap out the pork sausage for an equal amount of ground beef, or use a different type of sausage (such as turkey sausage or Italian sausage).
• Can you make this biscuits and gravy casserole the night before? Yes. To do so, prepare the gravy the day before and place it in the prepared baking dish. Cover and refrigerate. In the morning, allow the gravy to sit on the counter for at least 30 minutes so that it comes to room temperature. Add the biscuit dough on top, and bake according to the recipe instructions.
