Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole is out of this world, mouth watering goodness! Yes I liked it that much and so did my family. They have already requested for me to make this for Christmas morning. I came across this recipe because I saw several of my family and friends posting it on Facebook. My Mom happen to be one of them so I asked her about it and she told me I just had to make it. Boy am I glad I did because this will be a breakfast recipe that definitely goes on the menu.
One of the best things about this recipe is you do not need a lot of ingredients. In fact you only need eggs, sausage, gravy mix, cheese, milk and biscuits. Which I had all of them on hand in my kitchen and pantry. Be sure to add salt and pepper for seasoning to your taste to make it perfect! When I made this delicious Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole I also made Crockpot Hot Cocoa for the kids to enjoy along with it.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 pkg McCormick Sausage Gravy Mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup milk

Instructions

- Make Gravy mix per package directions but do not cook it according to package directions and pour over top (do not heat gravy).
- Bake in the oven for about 38-42 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!

can you make this in the crock pot?
We haven't tried. Sorry! If you do let us know!
Brittney
You say to not heat the gravy, does that mean don't put it on before putting this in the oven?
Right, don't heat it up before you put it into the oven.
Lisa
has anyone had success w the biscuits and gravy casserole if made the night before and cooked in the morning?
We haven't tried that but if you do let us know!
jennifer
Lisa, did you ever try assembling this the night before and then baking it the next morning? I might try it if it was successful
No we haven't but I am hopeful that would work for you.
Amanda
I feel like this would make the biscuits soggy - has anyone tried it yet?
They weren't soggy at all.
Karly
Does the egg mixture keep the biscuits from becoming soggy? This looks good, I'd like to try it by making everything from scratch.
It wasn't soggy at all.
Mehgan
How was it with from scratch biscuits?

Making this for Easter Brunch. Confused about the "8oz" can of biscuits. Isn't the picture a regular sized can? I couldn't find 8oz so I'm using what's in the picture to "line" the pan. This looks like my family will LOVE brunch today!!
You are right. It is a 12 oz that we used.
Laurie
Thank you! It was AMAZING! Everyone loved it, even the baby!!
Yay!
Michelle
are you supposed to cook the biscuits first or put them in raw?
Raw
Jordan
Can you precook this and just reheat. What to take camping
It is good as leftovers so maybe you could bake that morning and then take to eat the next day?
Emily
I just made this and it is amazing! I did have to cook for about 1 hour because the biscuits weren't cooked all the way. Other than that, I didn't change a thing!
Rachel
Do you cook the gravy first or just mix it and put on top?
Just mix it and put on top.
Linda
Hi! This sounds amazing! I'm not following what you mean when you say cut the biscuits into 1" pieces? Do I mean like chunks? Can't wait to make this. Thx or yr reply!
Yes, 1 " chunks 🙂 It is so good!
Erin
I have this in the oven right now, but I'm not sure how it will turn out. I bought a 16 oz. can of biscuits because I couldn't find 8 oz. and used a little more than half of the can to cover the bottom. Now after the fact, I see that you said to use 12 oz. Could you please fix it on the recipe so others can see it easily? Also, I cooked the gravy according to package directions then realized I wasn't supposed to follow the directions (heat it). Maybe you could reword it to say "Mix together the gravy mix and milk, but do not cook it according to package directions." Just a suggestion! 🙂 I think it will be delicious!
Good suggestions - I just updated it. Thanks and hope you love it!

I made the recipe as written except I cut the recipe in half (there are only two of us). It was very good and I would definitely make it again. I thought left overs the next day were better.
I had no problem following your well written instructions.

I've made this twice now. The second time I couldn't find the recipe that I first printed out (and since found) so I printed it off your page again. I noticed that it was changed to not cook the gravy before pouring over eggs. I remembered cooking the gravy the first time, but thought I must have done it wrong but I remember it was absolutely delicious. Well, I must have done it wrong again somehow. I just mixed the gravy but didn't cook it. I poured it over and it just mixed into the egg mixture. When it was done, there was no sign of gravy by sight or by taste. It just blended in with the rest. Was I supposed to let it sit for a while to thicken? It was actually very good when I cooked the gravy before pouring the first time, but I want to make sure I make it right.
You can cook the gravy if you choose too. We didn't cook it (we mixed it up but didn't cook it). I hope that helps!
Chris
I guess my main question is: If I don't cook the gravy first, do I need to let it sit to thicken. Like I said in my first post, the second time I made it, I didn't cook the gravy. I just mixed it and poured it. But, i was so thin that it just blended with the egg mixture. It didn't say in the recipe to let it sit before pouring. I'm just asking for clarification from those that haven't cooked the gravy first so I can make it right next time. Thanks! 🙂
Adri
That's what hat happened to my dish. All the gravy soaked into the eggs and biscuits while cooking. Good thing I had an extra packet, and made it to add in too while serving.
gale maloney
has anyone tried it with turkey sausage? my daughter won't eat pork
It would be delicious!
Christina
I always use turkey sausage. Sooo good.
J. Wile
Can you assemble and then put in the freezer to cook later?
I am not sure how freezing the biscuits would turn out?
Becky
I made this recipe twice now. The first time I made it making the gravy on the stove top prior to baking and the second time I made it just pouring the mixed gravy over top as stated in directions. It was MUCH better making the gravy on stove top prior. We couldn't taste any "gravy" in the dish made according to the directions. It tasted fine but wasn't like the first time I made it.
Cheryl
Made this for Easter brunch and it was a hit, had recipe requests. I did follow some of the comments and cook the gravy... I can't imagine making it any other way now. Thanks for sharing!
