How to make easy biscuits and gravy.

You know what’s a great phrase for a satisfying meal? Sticks to your ribs.

Sure, it’s kind of goofy. At first, it sounds like the food is supposed to stick to your ribs from the outside, as if you were wearing a vest made out of pancakes or something. But once you realize it’s sticking to your ribs from the inside, then it just really captures the whole idea of a meal that will keep you full and satisfied for hours.

My Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole is a hot breakfast that will really stick to your ribs. Not a dainty little coffee-and-Danish breakfast, which is tasty but melts away by mid-morning. This here is a breakfast that will keep you chugging along right until lunchtime.

The recipe makes a nice big batch, which is great for feeding a houseful of hungry guests (like, say, family visiting over the holidays, which are just around the corner…. omigosh). But if you don’t have that many to feed, it’s pretty easy to cut the recipe in half.

And, if you still end up with leftovers, this dish is just as good reheated the next day. It sticks to your ribs…and sticks around for more!

NOTE: Fans LOVE the gravy so much, that many have reported making a double batch of gravy for this recipe so they can have extra. If you are a gravy fan, perhaps that is a good idea for you too!

  1. When you say 16 oz. for the biscuits, do you mean each can should be 16 oz or that you should have a total of 16 oz between the two cans?

      This is delicious! I used Grands and to me, they were too thick. Next time I will use a thinner biscuit or cut the Grands in half and then quarter them.

    2. Dianne K. says:

      I spent hours going through similar recipies, as I had wanted to make this ahead for one of our Christmas breakfast casseroles. After much time spent, this is what I concluded: If you want to make a casserole like this the night before you need to choose one that also has eggs in it. I did end up making this Christmas morning and coordinated so I baked the bottom layer then made my gravy & built it while my other casserole baked since this one is in & out so fast it worked out well. I did cook my sausage the night before when I was making my other things & every bit ends in time saving! I did use 2 cans of Grands and made about 5 cups of gravy, baked in a 7×11, filled it to capacity and had the extra gravy on the side for those who wanted it. For my family, we like a lot of gravy on our biscuits and this worked out well. Those who didn’t add the extra said it could have used more. It was a home run here!

    3. OMG, I’m so glad I caught this, I’ve been doing TWO 16 oz and wondered why we always had SO much biscuit! HA!

      1. I just made this more clear on the recipe card. Sorry for any confusion Kate 🙂

  2. What temp and how long should I reheat this for?

    1. Are we talking refrigerated leftovers or frozen?

  3. How well does this freeze? Or if I’m taking it to a family to have the next morning what should I do differently?

    1. Nancy Towner says:

      can you make the night before and bake in the morning

      1. I have only made this the morning of, so I can’t say for sure how that would work. If anyone as done this please let us know 🙂

    for our (my boyfriend & i) taste this is yummy but too dry. i cut the recipe in half and the casserole as well (used a 2.5 quart) it looked great and perfect cooking time. i will make again but next time ill use the full gravy recipe with half the biscuits and still use the 2.5 or 3 quart casserole dish.

  5. 5 stars
    Made this for my husband and I tonight, followed the recipe exactly, and it came out perfectly. It was delicious and we devoured it. I’ll definitely make this again.

    1. 5 stars
      Awesome! I am so happy you both loved it Amanda 🙂

  6. 5 stars
    Just made it and its yummy although I used only 1can of biscuits and I think I need a little bit more milk but so good

  7. So glad I saw this on Pinterest and made this! It was a hit. I needed something to feed my teenage son that he would eat and love-this was it!!!
    I read the comments before I made this. I followed original recipe but have to agree on what I read; while the recipe IS delicious it does indeed need to be tweaked the next time I make it. I did use 2 large 16 ounce cans for my 9 x 13 dish-one can of biscuits for the bottom layer and one for the top layer. Also, I did find I wanted this to be a little more “saucy” after it was baked. So either I use the recipe as is and a smaller dish or make more gravy. regardless of my future tweaks this was a hit and will be made again! Thanks for sharing this!!!

  8. Looks fabulous but I’m not a canned biscuit fan. Do you think it would work with made from scratch or even frozen?

    1. 5 stars
      I made it with biscuits from scratch was delicious

    All I can say is WOW! This looks like my cup of tea (or gravy). I can do this. Many thanks!

  10. 4 stars
    Like some of the other reviewers said, it was just too much biscuit. The gravy came out great (I used more milk), but if I’d just used one can of biscuits, it would’ve been perfect! Too filling with all that biscuit; now I can’t move and just want to take a nap. lol

    1. Is it possible to make this ahead and freeze? So I am confused. Some of the comments say not to use 2 cans of biscuits? One was good enough and 2 made it too dry? Can you please Clarify?
