This Sausage Biscuits Gravy Casserole is everything you love about a big Southern breakfast—baked into one easy dish. It’s got fluffy biscuits, crumbled sausage, creamy gravy, and plenty of melty cheese. Super cozy, super satisfying, and perfect for a lazy weekend morning.
Cut the biscuits into fourths and cover the bottom of the casserole dish.
Put the browned and crumbled sausage over the top of the biscuits.
Whisk the eggs with ½ cup of milk and pour over the casserole.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to make a roux.
Whisk in 2 cups of milk until the mixture comes to a boil (bubbling).
Add salt and pepper to the gravy until the taste is to your liking.
Pour the gravy over the casserole.
Top with cheddar cheese.
Bake until the biscuits are cooked through, about 30-40 minutes.
Notes
Cook the sausage until it's well-browned: Don’t rush the sausage! A deep golden-brown color adds more flavor and prevents it from turning greasy in the casserole.Drain the sausage well: After browning, place the sausage on a paper towel–lined plate to remove excess fat. This keeps the casserole from getting too oily.Make the gravy in the same skillet: After browning the sausage, use the same pan to make your gravy—it adds extra flavor and saves you from washing more dishes.Let the casserole rest before slicing: After baking, let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. It sets up better and will slice more cleanly.Keep an eye on the center: Every oven is different, so start checking at the 30-minute mark. The biscuits in the center should be golden and cooked through, not doughy.
