If you enjoy biscuits and gravy, this biscuits and gravy casserole is absolutely fantastic. Just an easier, casserole form of serving America's most indulgent hearty breakfast. 
Easy Biscuits and Gravy Bake
I am all about hearty breakfasts, and any time there are biscuits and gravy on the menu I am instantly sold. But, for me, the more simple the recipe, the better in this classic. I like flaky biscuits and a sausage gravy that has just the right amount of bite to it and the perfect creaminess. Which would explain why I am in love with this breakfast casserole and everything that it's about.
If you're looking for an old fashioned southern biscuits and gravy, this might not be your jam, as the biscuits and gravy aren't served separate. But, I will say that if you're looking for how to make gravy for biscuits and gravy, this could for sure be the recipe for you as this gravy is divine – and you definitely could just bake the biscuits up separately and pour the gravy over the biscuits.
One thing is for sure though, if you're looking for a quick and easy biscuits and gravy casserole, though – this is the recipe for you – look no further, it's the best (and yes! Kids even love this one!)
Biscuit and gravy casserole recipe ingredients:
1 lb. breakfast sausage*
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 1/2 c. whole milk
Pinch cayenne pepper
kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 can Pillsbury flaky biscuits, each biscuit cut into quarters or sixths
2 tbsp. butter, melted
* I always get the breakfast sausage from the meat counter at my local grocery store – they have the best breakfast sausage!
(Can we applaud this recipe for the sheer fact that you likely have everything on hand other than the sausage, buscuits and whole milk?!)
How to make this biscuits and gravy bake:
Preheat oven to 375° and spray a large baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet cook sausage until browned all over.
If there is a lot of grease, drain if desired and sprinkle flour all over the sausage, cooking for just a minute longer.
Season with cayenne, salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Pour milk over mixture, constantly stirring while bringing the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes until thick.
Remove from heat.
Place half your diced biscuits onto the bottom of your baking dish, bake those for a few minutes in the oven, remove from oven and pour gravy mixture on top.
Top with the remaining biscuits and brush with butter.
Place in the oven to bake 17-18 minutes, until biscuits are golden and sausage mixture is bubbling making sure that biscuits in the bottom of the casserole dish are baked through as well.
Enjoy!
Can I use this homemade gravy for biscuits and gravy?
YES! This gravy can actually just be eaten by the spoonful (kidding, but really not kidding!) It's absolutely delicious! You could even make the gravy ahead of time, and then add some milk and reheat to make the sausage biscuits and gravy casserole in the morning. It's absolutely delicious and perfect!

I’m wanting to make biscuits and gravy ahead of time and all of the recipes have egg in them. Can I make this the night before?
Hi Sandy,
I make this recipe the night before all the time. Mine doesn’t have egg so you’re in the right place! Thanks for stopping by!
Kate
I am wanting to double this recipe, would i have to up my cook time?
Hi Taylor, For doubling, ideally you would use two separate 9×13 pans. If you cannot do that just keep an eye on it. The biscuits will look like the ones in my pictures when it’s done. Enjoy!
Kate
Can I use 2% milk instead of whole milk?
Hi Anna, Sure!
This looks delicious ! What size pan do you use ?
Hi Patricia, I used a 9×13.
Kate
Biscuits aren’t hard to make. That way you avoid all the chemicals and poisons in the processed ones.
To each their own, right? Thanks for stopping by!
Kate
I don’t understand what the point is of this. If you’re already making a pan of gravy just bake the biscuits at the same time and you’re done. No need to mess up a casserole dish and go through the process of baking this. Basically, biscuits and gravy can’t be improved on.
Jeff ,Thats what I have been thinking the whole time, and Ive never had eggs in my gravy
Hi Judy, I’m curious, where did you see that there are eggs in the gravy?
Kate
Our family loves biscuits and gravy casserole. Maybe it’s a texture thing? Not sure! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Kate
Lol I don’t understand what the point of commenting on a blog to say why you don’t think it makes sense. Like, scroll on and comment on something you DO like and understand. Seems like a better use of time, rather than being negative on a blog. I and many others don’t mind using one extra dish, and an easy one to wash at that.
My family loves to do Brunch for our holiday get togethers (which, usually, turn out to be “pitch ins”). These are PERFECT
For something like that.
I liked it but my kids not so much. I would probably use half the biscuits next time.
So glad I found your recipe, my family loves it! I make it all the time! Thank you:)
My husband can’t stand eggs and doesn’t care for sweets so I’m always at a loss for what to make Christmas morning. This will be my second Christmas making this as it was a huge hit last year! Thank you for this recipe, so glad I found it!
