Description
This Biscuits and Gravy Casserole with Sausage and Eggs is a savory breakfast favorite packed with hearty layers of sausage, eggs, cheese, biscuits, and creamy gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
1 (8-count) package biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
1 lb pork sausage (any flavor)
6 eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or preferred blend)
1 (2 ¾ oz) package peppered gravy mix (yields 2 cups)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven & prepare pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 13×9‑inch baking pan so nothing sticks. - Cook sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage thoroughly. Break it into crumbles while cooking. Once browned, drain off excess fat. - Prepare biscuit base
Cut the biscuit dough into about 1‑inch pieces. Spread these pieces evenly along the bottom of the greased 13×9 pan. - Layer sausage & cheese
Distribute the cooked, drained sausage over the biscuit pieces. Then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the sausage layer. - Make the egg mixture
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit‑sausage‑cheese layers, letting it seep in between biscuit pieces. - Prepare gravy
Prepare the gravy according to package instructions for the peppered gravy mix. Once ready, carefully pour the hot gravy over all of the ingredients in the baking pan. - Bake
Bake for 35‑45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the biscuits are cooked through. You’ll know it’s done when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is golden. - Check doneness & adjust
If after about 30 minutes you notice the top is browning faster than the inside is cooking, cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil (a “foil tent”) to prevent excessive browning while allowing the insides to catch up. - Serve warm
Once baked, serve it straight from the oven. Leftovers reheat very well, maintaining much of the original flavor and texture.
Notes
For overnight prep, refrigerate before baking and increase bake time by 20 minutes. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
