What Kind of Biscuits Should I Use?

Refrigerated canned biscuits are your best friend here—they’re easy, dependable, and give you that perfect texture without extra work. Choose the flaky, buttery variety for best results, and if you prefer a more homemade feel, you can also use your favorite homemade biscuit dough. Just be sure not to use frozen biscuits unless they are fully thawed first.

Ingredients for the Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

This recipe uses everyday staples that come together in such a comforting way. The key is layering flavor, and each ingredient plays a role in building that rich, savory depth that makes this dish so beloved.

• Refrigerated biscuits
• Breakfast sausage
• All-purpose flour
• Whole milk
• Salt and black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Cheddar cheese
• Butter (optional)

How To Make the Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Step 1: Brown the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Do not drain the fat—this adds flavor to your gravy base.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the milk. Stir frequently until the gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuits

Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and scatter half of the biscuit pieces on the bottom.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit layer. Add the remaining biscuit pieces on top and sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously across the surface.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

How to Serve and Store This Casserole

This casserole serves 6 to 8 people, making it ideal for a group breakfast or brunch. Serve it warm straight from the oven, maybe with a drizzle of hot sauce or a soft fried egg on top for extra richness.

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply reheat individual portions in the microwave, or warm the whole dish in the oven at 325°F until heated through. You can also freeze individual slices for an easy grab-and-go breakfast later on.
