Salt & Pepper: Season to taste. A bit of black pepper gives that classic gravy kick.
Cheese (optional): Shredded cheddar adds extra comfort.

How To Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole with Sausage and Eggs

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cut each biscuit into quarters and place the pieces in a single layer across the bottom of the dish.
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it into crumbles and cook until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
Make the gravy: Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet with the sausage. Stir in 1/4 cup flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk. Stir until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuit layer.
Whisk eggs in a bowl, then pour evenly over the casserole.
Top with shredded cheese (if using).
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbly. The center should be set and not jiggly.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set for cleaner servings.

Storage Options

Room Temperature: Not recommended beyond 2 hours.
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Wrap tightly in plastic and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Microwave individual portions or reheat in a 325°F oven until warm.

Variations and Substitutions

Spicy Kick: Use hot sausage or add diced jalapeños.
Veggie Boost: Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
Tex-Mex Style: Add taco seasoning to the sausage, and top with pepper jack cheese.
Sweet & Savory: Try maple sausage and a touch of cinnamon in the gravy.
Low-Carb: Skip the biscuits and pour everything into a buttered dish with extra eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade biscuits?
Yes! Just pre-bake them slightly so they don’t overbake in the casserole.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Definitely. Assemble the entire dish the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning.

Can I freeze it after baking?
Yes. Let it cool completely, then wrap and freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

What if I don’t have sausage?
You can use cooked bacon or a meatless sausage substitute.

Why is my casserole runny?
It may need a bit more baking time or could be due to excess milk or undercooked eggs.

Can I add cheese?
Absolutely. Sharp cheddar, Colby Jack, or mozzarella all work well.
