Servings: 8
Calories: 458kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tub 7.5 oz, basic buttermilk biscuits (10 count per refrigerated can)
- 1 pound ground sausage reserve 1/4th for gravy
- 1 1/2 cups cheese
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese for top layer
Egg Mixture
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup of whole whipping cream
Sausage Gravy
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 cup of cooked breakfast sausage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 2-1/2 quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. If you want to serve more than 6-8, you can use a 9x13 pan and double this recipe.
- Line country style (homestyle) biscuits in a single layer on the bottom. They don't have to touch each other, but if they do, that is fine.
- Heat breakfast sausage in a skillet until no longer pink.
- Sprinkle cooked sausage on top of biscuits in the casserole dish.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of layered cheddar cheese on top of sausage.
- In a mixing bowl, add eggs and 1/2 cup whipping cream and whisk well.
- Pour egg mixture on top of sausage and biscuit mixture.
- Using the same skillet that you did to cook the sausage, make the gravy.
- Add butter, flour, half and half, salt and pepper and whisk well, over medium low heat.
- Heat the gravy, whisking frequently, until bubbling, thick, and smooth about 5 minutes.
- Add reserved 1/4th cup of sausage.
- Pour gravy into casserole dish and sprinkle the final top layer with remaining cheese - its ok to use as much or as little as you want, I recommend 1/2 cup shredded cheese, more if you decide to use a bigger casserole dish.
- Bake biscuits and gravy breakfast casserole for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and center is set. Start checking around 30 minutes if your oven is really hot.
- Let casserole stand 5 minutes before serving so the casserole is easy to cut and serve.
- Serves 6-8 (one biscuit area per person)

Notes
How to reheat biscuits and gravy casserole?
This cheese, biscuits, and sausage casserole can be reheated in the microwave.
How to store and keep leftovers.
I never recommend keeping food longer than 2-3 days, tightly sealed, in the fridge before tossing (especially where dairy is involved).
Can you make biscuits and gravy casserole the night before?
You can make this country-style biscuit and sausage gravy casserole ahead of time and leave it in the fridge overnight (sealed w/ foil), and finish cooking the morning of.
Anytime you prep a casserole ahead, you may need to adjust cooking time as the food is extra cold when entering the oven.
What else can I serve with this casserole?
Truthfully biscuits and gravy are relatively filling! But to add a bit of color to the plate, try something light and fresh like blueberries, cut-up strawberries, or a banana. If you prefer to stay with a savory breakfast bacon is an excellent choice, boiled eggs, or even hashbrowns from the oven. Sweet breakfast casserole recipes, like strawberry french toast casserole, are also an excellent fit for a family breakfast menu.
