    What goes well with sausage gravy and biscuit casserole?

    This breakfast biscuit casserole is delicious all on its own, but if you want to make something to go with it here are a few suggestions:

    • scrambled eggs
    • fried eggs
    • air fryer hashbrowns patties
    • air fryer bacon (try making it in the air fryer – it’s so easy and the bacon gets nice and crispy)
    • honey lime fruit salad

    Can this biscuit and gravy casserole recipe be used as an overnight casserole?

    We haven’t tried this, but I bet you could! If you made the casserole and then covered it with plastic wrap and refrigerated it, you should be able to bake it the next morning! If you do give this a try, be sure to let us know how it worked in the comments below.

    This breakfast casserole would be the perfect thing to prep ahead and bake on Christmas morning!

    Ingredients

    The ingredients in this biscuits and gravy casserole recipe are all ones you can easily find at your local grocery store. Nothing fancy or complicated here, just good old-fashioned biscuits and gravy in casserole form!

    • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    Ingredients

    See the printable recipe card further down in this post for exact quantities and step-by-step instructions.

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Coat the 13×9 casserole dish with a nonstick spray.
    2. In a large skillet, break up the sausage into fine pieces. Cook until browned.
    Cooked ground sausage in a large skillet.
    Cook sausage.
    1. While the sausage is cooking, prepare your biscuit. Quarter each slice and spread them out in a casserole dish. This will be your bottom layer.

    1. Scoop the sausage out of the pan with a skimmer spoon and spread it evenly on top of the biscuit. DO NOT DRAIN THE FAT.

    1. In the same skillet with the remaining fat, melt the butter and mix the flour in to make a roux until it becomes paste-like. Add in the half and half, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the roux dissolves. Over medium heat, stir occasionally until your homemade sausage gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Substitutions & Variations

    If you’re missing some of the ingredients in this recipe (or someone in your family doesn’t like them), don’t stress! You can swap them out and make this casserole your own.

    Here are a few suggestions…

    • Half and Half – instead of half and half, you can use milk. I chose to use half and half because it creates a thicker, creamier gravy but any milk or cream will do!
    • Milk – if you want a thicker, creamier gravy you can use whole milk. If you like a thinner gravy, you can use 2% or 1% milk (I wouldn’t recommend skim milk, but if that’s all you’ve got on hand it will do).
    • Biscuits – if you can’t find the Pillsbury Grands biscuits you can definitely use the original ones. You’ll just need to double up on the regular biscuits as they are quite a bit smaller than the grands.
    • Sausage – if your family doesn’t like the spice of Jimmy Deans sausage, you can absolutely use mild sausage in this recipe (or even a honey garlic breakfast sausage or other mild flavor). Any ground breakfast sausage will work, or even an Italian sausage!
    • Cheese – you can swap out the cheddar cheese for any cheese you’d like to create a fun twist on this easy recipe!

    Storage

    Any leftover breakfast biscuit and gravy casserole can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or covered tightly with plastic wrap for up to 3 days.

    Top Tip

    Don’t discard the fat after you cook the sausage! By keeping the fat and using it as part of the roux you make for the gravy, you add a ton of extra flavor to this homemade gravy.

    (But yes, if you really don’t want to use the fat you can drain it and make you roux with the butter called for in the recipe. You’ll be missing out though!)

    What is a roux?

    Roux is flour and fat cooked together and used to thicken sauces. Roux is typically made from equal parts of flour and fat by weight.

    Can I do cornstarch instead of flour to thicken white gravy?

    Absolutely. Do 1⁄2 cup of water and 1⁄2 tablespoon of cornstarch to start until desired thickness is reached. (Ratio is 1 tablespoon of cornstarch per 1 cup of liquid).

    Can I add more gravy to this biscuits and gravy casserole?

    I recommend you don’t change the number of ingredients for the gravy. The biscuit rises during baking so if you add more, the gravy will spill over. You can make extra separately and pour it over your casserole when you are serving it, instead.
