Biscuit and Gravy Casserole Ingredients

It really doesn’t take any extra ingredients to turn Biscuits and Gravy into a tasty Breakfast Casserole. Here’s all the ingredients you’ll need:

• Canned Biscuits – We’re using these Pillsbury Grands Biscuits for this recipe. We ended up quartering the biscuits before we used them in this recipe to make them fit in the casserole dish better. If you’re using smaller biscuits, you may end up cutting them into thirds or halves instead.
• Sausage – Go with your favorite breakfast sausage here. We ended up settling on this hot pork sausage.
• Flour – Just a basic all-purpose flour. We’re just making a gravy with it.
• Milk
• Salt and Pepper – Plus any other seasoning you might want to add in.

You can also grab some butter, melt it, and keep it off on the side while your gravy and biscuit casserole is baking. You’ll be able to brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to add in a little more flavor and help with browning.

Variations

Need some ideas to change this baked breakfast casserole recipe up? Here’s a few ways to shaking things up a bit:

• Biscuits and Gravy Casserole with Eggs – Add a bit of extra protein into your Breakfast Casserole with some eggs. Mix up some eggs and milk and pour it over the bottom layers of biscuits and sausage gravy before adding the top layer of biscuits. Maybe consider adding in a bit of shredded cheddar cheese to this Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake too.
• Overnight Biscuits and Gravy Casserole – An interesting idea you can try is making this into an overnight casserole recipe. Follow the recipe all the way up to after you’ve topped the casserole with the top layer of biscuits. Cover with aluminum foil and let sit in the fridge overnight. Bake as normal the following morning.
• Bacon Gravy Casserole – Instead of using breakfast sausage and making a sausage gravy, there’s nothing stopping you from making Bacon Gravy and Biscuits. Sub in some chopped bacon for the sausage, follow the recipe as normal, and let us know how that breakfast casserole turned out!

Storage / Freezing

Storage: Remember to store your leftover Biscuits and Gravy Casserole covered in the fridge when you’re done. Kept like this, it’ll be safe to eat for 3-4 days. The texture will start to get worse before then, so we’d say you should enjoy within 2-3 days.

Freezing: Freezing this Sausage Gravy Casserole is another option you can consider. The texture might change a little- what with all the dairy in the gravy- but it should freeze and reheat alright. Tightly wrap in foil and keep frozen for 2-3 months. Ideally, reheat in the oven until it’s warmed through.
