Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Sausage Gravy:

• 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your taste)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for a richer gravy)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Casserole Base:

• 8–10 refrigerated biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
• 8 large eggs
• ½ cup heavy cream or milk
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping, if you like it extra cheesy)

How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole with Eggs and Sausage

Step 1: Cook the Sausage Gravy

This creamy, savory gravy is the star of the show.

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Remove it from the skillet with a slotted spoon, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the drippings behind.
2. Add ¼ cup unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in ¼ cup flour and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a smooth roux.
3. Slowly pour in 3 cups milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Cook for 5–7 minutes, whisking often, until the gravy thickens.
5. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix everything together. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Casserole Dish

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
3. Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters or bite-sized pieces and spread them in an even layer across the bottom of the dish.

Tip: You can use canned biscuits for ease, or leftover homemade ones if you have them!

Step 3: Whisk the Eggs

In a large bowl, beat together:

• 8 large eggs
• ½ cup heavy cream or milk
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the dish.

Step 4: Layer It All Together

1. Spoon the sausage gravy over the biscuit-and-egg layer, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon so it covers everything evenly.
2. Sprinkle 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Love cheese? Add a little extra on top for an ultra-melty finish.

Step 5: Bake to Golden, Bubbling Perfection

Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until:

• The eggs are set (no longer jiggly in the center)
• The top is golden brown
• The edges are bubbling with cheesy gravy goodness

Optional: Broil for a Crispy Top

For a slightly crispy, golden-brown top, broil the casserole for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking. Just watch closely to prevent burning!

Serving Suggestions

This casserole is rich and satisfying on its own, but here are a few things you can serve with it:

• Fresh fruit salad for a light contrast
• Hot sauce or pepper jelly for those who like a little heat
• Buttered toast or English muffins to mop up every last bite of gravy
• Fresh orange juice or coffee to round out a perfect morning

Make-Ahead Tips

Want to get a jump on breakfast?

• Assemble the entire casserole the night before, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate.
• The next morning, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, then bake as directed.

This makes it a fantastic holiday brunch dish or an easy weekend prep for busy families.

How to Store Leftovers

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freezer: Cut into portions and freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Microwave individual servings or warm in the oven at 300°F until heated through.
