Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole
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!
Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Open cans of biscuits and cut into quarters. Set aside.
- Prepare a casserole dish with cooking spray. Either a 9 x 13 or 10 x 12 is recommended. You can use a smaller dish, but you might have some spillage in the oven. Layer half of the quarters in prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
- Next, brown ground sausage oner a medium/high heat until cook through. Reduce heat to medium.
- In a small bowl mix together flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle the cooked sausage with flour mixture. Stir flour mixture into sausage until completely absorbed.
- Next, add in milk and stir to combine. Stir frequently until mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer and stir until gravy has started to thicken, (about 5 mins).
- Pour gravy over your bottom layer of cooked biscuits. Layer the remaining uncooked, biscuit pieces over the gravy.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. If you would like, brush 1-2 Tablespoons of melted butter over the tops of the biscuits to give them an inviting shine 🙂

Absolutely amazing!! Love love love this recipe… I used a whole tsp of black pepper and when the gravy started to thicken I shut off the heat and it thickened perfect while baking. This recipe is a must share for sure ?
I host Christmas brunch every year at our
house and this dish will be perfect to put
in the oven while rushing around getting ready for the day and opening gifts.
Thank you for the delicious idea.?
Made and followed directions using 2 cans grands flaky buttermilk biscuits. Had to substitute corn starch for flour because I was out of flour – but turned out great – used fairly deep 9 x 13 pan and almost ran over the sides. Thumbs up from the fam all around!!
Delicious! Recipe easy to follow, plus there is a video as well! Can wait to serve on Christmas Eve morning!
It was very good, made it for Christmas Eve. It’s simple and yummy. Will definitely make it again.
