Biscuit and Gravy Breakfast Casserole can be prepared the night ahead and baked the following day or prepared, baked, and eaten immediately. The leftovers (if you have any – did I mention this brunch bake is extra yummy?) also taste great reheated the next day. My family loves this tasty and hearty breakfast casserole any time of the year, but we especially like it as a treat for our traditional Easter brunch at our church.

A pan of ready-to-eat biscuit and gravy breakfast casserole makes a delicious breakfast brunch.

This breakfast bake comes together quickly thanks to the ready-made biscuits and gravy from a mix, but if you have the time and want to make this recipe entirely from scratch, you can substitute your own gravy (about 2 cups) and homemade biscuit dough (enough for 8 large biscuits) for equally delicious results.

an overhead view of the ingredients needed to make Biscuit and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

1 pound ground pork breakfast sausage
1 16 oz. can (8 count) jumbo canned buttermilk biscuits
1 2.75 oz package country-style gravy mix, prepared according to package directions

1 cup whole milk
Fresh ground black pepper
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded.

How to Make Biscuit and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Preheat oven to 375°. Generously grease a 9×13 casserole dish.
Brown the sausage over medium-high heat in a medium skillet, stirring often, for about 8-10 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat if needed (depending on the sausage brand you use).
While the sausage is browning, open the can of biscuits and use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the biscuits into one-inch cubes. Place the cubes into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
When the meat is done cooking, sprinkle it over the cubed biscuit dough.
Next, crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk together until the yolks and whites are combined. Add the milk and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper and whisk everything together. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the cubed biscuits and meat.
Pour the prepared gravy over everything, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
Bake for 45 minutes or until puffy and golden and the eggs are set (a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean). Remove the pan from the oven and let it set for 5 minutes before serving.

This breakfast casserole is a complete meal on its own, but I love to serve it with a heaping scoop of fruit salad and a steaming cup of strong coffee or tea. Mmmm!

Frequently Asked Questions about Biscuit and Gravy Casserole

Can Easy Biscuit and Gravy Breakfast Casserole be prepared ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole and bake it later in the day or within 24 hours of preparation. For best results, let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes to come to room temperature before putting it in a preheated oven.

I don’t want to use packaged biscuits. Can I make from-scratch biscuit dough for this recipe?

Yes! I’ve made this recipe using my homemade biscuit dough, which is delicious. I love the convenience of using ready-made ingredients, but it’s a great option to make everything from scratch if you have the time and ability to do that. If you use homemade biscuit dough, make sure they are rolled and cut biscuits, not drop biscuits, as drop biscuits will be too wet for this recipe. My favorite roll biscuits to make are two-ingredient Cream Biscuits. Here’s a recipe for those.

I’d like to make my own gravy for this brunch bake. Do you have a gravy recipe that you recommend?

Becky from Hillbilly Kitchen has two effortless recipes for making gravy from scratch. Check out her recipe for Bacon Milk Gravy or No Fail Sausage Gravy.

Can I substitute a different cheese instead of the sharp cheddar cheese called for in this recipe?

I love the punch of flavor that sharp cheddar brings to this brunch bake, but it is also nice made with any other type of cheddar cheese, Colby & Monterey Jack cheese, or even Pepper Jack cheese if the crowd you are feeding likes a bit of heat.
