A hearty and comforting Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole combining flaky biscuit pieces, savory sausage, creamy peppered gravy, and melted cheddar cheese all baked together for a delicious morning meal perfect for feeding a crowd or enjoying leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits

  • 1 pkg Pillsbury biscuits (8 count)

Protein and Dairy

  • 1 lb mild sausage (any flavor works)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk

Gravy

  • 1 pkg peppered gravy mix (2.3 oz package)

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Grease a 9×13 baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and no longer pink inside. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet to avoid a greasy casserole.
  3. Cut Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into approximately 4 smaller pieces to make them easy to layer and bake evenly within the casserole.
  4. Layer Biscuits: Spread the cut biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared 9×13 pan, forming the base layer of the casserole.
  5. Add Sausage Layer: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage on top of the biscuit pieces, making sure it covers the entire base layer.
  6. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage layer, which will melt and add rich flavor during baking.
  7. Mix Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined to create a smooth custard mixture.
  8. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layers of cheese, sausage, and biscuits to help bind the casserole as it bakes.
  9. Prepare Gravy: Follow the gravy package instructions to prepare the peppered gravy. Once ready, pour the hot gravy evenly over the egg mixture layer in the casserole pan.
  10. Bake: Place the casserole pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the biscuits are cooked through and golden around the edges.
  11. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this savory, cheesy breakfast casserole hot from the oven!

Notes

  • Use any flavor of sausage you prefer — mild, spicy, or even savory breakfast sausage works well.
  • The biscuit base saves time compared to making dough from scratch.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like diced onions or bell peppers to the sausage layer for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • If you prefer, substitute shredded cheese types such as Colby Jack or Monterey Jack to customize taste.
  • Make sure to grease the baking dish well to prevent sticking and ease serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for quick breakfast options later.
