Description
Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is an easy, comforting breakfast bake made with creamy sausage gravy and golden biscuits. Perfect for busy mornings, holiday brunches, or breakfast-for-dinner nights!
Ingredients
Scale
1 pound breakfast sausage
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups whole milk
1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break it into crumbles as it cooks until fully browned. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, but leave the fat in the skillet.
- Make the roux by reducing the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Create the gravy by slowly pouring in the milk while whisking continuously. Let the mixture come to a simmer, then continue cooking for around 5 minutes until it thickens.
- Combine and assemble by returning the cooked sausage to the gravy and stirring well. Transfer the sausage gravy into the greased baking dish.
- Prepare the biscuits by cutting each one into quarters. Evenly distribute the biscuit pieces over the sausage gravy.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown, and the casserole is bubbling.
Notes
Use 2 tablespoons butter if using pork sausage (include sausage fat).
Use 3 tablespoons butter if using lean sausage like turkey.
