How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Begin by greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray and then set it to the side.

Then cut the biscuit dough into quarters with clean kitchen shears or a sharp knife. Line the bottom of the pan with the cut biscuits.

Brown the ground breakfast sausage in a large skillet, then drain the grease. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Then pour the mixture over the sausage and biscuits. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and place in the fridge until morning.

Go ahead and mix up the gravy too! Melt 5 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and then whisk in the flour until it makes a paste. Add salt and pepper and whisk to combine.

Whisk in the milk over a medium high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce to a simmer for 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens. Once done, set it aside to cool and then place it in the fridge until morning.

When you’re ready to bake in the morning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the casserole from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature while the oven preheats.

Warm the gravy in the microwave or on the stovetop until it is pourable. Then pour it over the egg casserole and cover it with aluminum foil.

Place covered biscuits and gravy breakfast casserole in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and then bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the casserole is set in the middle and the edges are golden brown.

Serve immediately!
