Soft, fluffy biscuits with crisp golden tops baked over a rich, creamy sausage gravy—this Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is the ultimate comfort-food breakfast. It’s perfect for feeding a crowd at brunch, holidays, or weekend family breakfasts, and it comes together quickly using refrigerated biscuits (or homemade if you prefer).

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sausage Gravy

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 4 1/2 cups milk

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

For the Biscuits

  • 2 (7.5-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits
    (or homemade biscuit dough)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. Brown the sausage
    In a medium pot over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks.
    Transfer sausage into the prepared baking dish. Blot excess grease with a paper towel if needed.

  3. Make the roux
    In the same pot (with sausage drippings), add butter and melt over medium heat.
    Stir in flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until a thick paste forms. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until it begins to lightly brown.

  4. Add milk and thicken
    Slowly pour in milk a little at a time, whisking constantly so it stays smooth.
    Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the gravy thickens (this takes several minutes).

  5. Assemble the casserole
    Pour the thickened gravy evenly over the sausage in the baking dish.

  6. Add biscuit topping
    Separate the biscuits and cut each one into 4 pieces.
    Scatter biscuit pieces evenly across the top of the gravy.

  7. Bake
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Thick gravy is key: It should be thick before baking so the casserole doesn’t turn soupy.

  • Whisk milk slowly: Adding milk gradually prevents lumps.

  • Even biscuit pieces: Cutting biscuits into quarters helps them bake evenly and soak up the gravy.

  • Extra browning: If the biscuits need more color, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
