Description
A hearty Southern breakfast bake featuring layers of fluffy biscuits, creamy sausage gravy, and melted cheddar cheese. This Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is rich, comforting, and perfect for brunch or weekend mornings.
Ingredients
1 lb breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 can refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly, leaving about 1 tbsp of fat in the pan.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat evenly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
- Cut the biscuits into halves or quarters and layer half of them in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit layer.
- Top with the remaining biscuit pieces and sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use spicy sausage or add red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers for more flavor.
Substitute turkey sausage and low-fat milk for a lighter version.
Top with scrambled eggs before baking for a breakfast twist.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
