Biscuits & Gravy Sausage Egg Casserole
Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 35-40 mins | Total Time: 55-60 mins
Servings: 8-10
Ingredients:
For the Biscuit Layer:
- 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated flaky biscuits (8-count)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
For the Egg Layer:
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk or heavy cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped green onions
- Hot sauce
- Extra shredded cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Once cooked, remove with a slotted spoon, leaving about 2 tbsp of drippings in the pan.
- Make the gravy: Sprinkle flour over the drippings and whisk for 1-2 minutes until golden. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly until thickened (about 3-4 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir in cooked sausage and remove from heat.
- Prepare the biscuit layer: Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Spread half in the baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits, then top with remaining biscuit pieces.
- Make the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over the biscuits and gravy. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until eggs are set and biscuits are golden brown.
- Rest & serve: Let cool 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions or hot sauce if desired.
Tips:
- Make ahead: Assemble the night before (without baking) and refrigerate. Let sit at room temp 20 minutes before baking.
- Add-ins: Try diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or cooked bacon.
- Spice it up: Use hot sausage or extra red pepper flakes for heat.
This casserole is creamy, savory, and packed with flavor—just like classic biscuits and gravy but in an easy, shareable dish. Enjoy! 😊🍳
