How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it up into small pieces. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.

Do not drain the fat - this is what gives the gravy its flavor.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage. Stir well and cook for about 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Slowly pour in the milk and cream while stirring constantly. Let the mixture simmer until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.

Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Grease a baking dish with butter.

Add the quartered biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the dish. Pour the hot sausage gravy over the biscuits, making sure everything is coated.

Gently press the biscuits down slightly so they’re submerged in the gravy.

Step 4: Bake

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until:

The biscuits are golden brown on top
The gravy is bubbling around the edges
The center is fully set

If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme and extra black pepper if desired.

Serve warm and enjoy every cozy bite.

What Makes This Version Special

Traditional biscuits and gravy usually involve:

Cooking sausage
Making gravy
Baking biscuits separately
Assembling everything at the last minute

This casserole simplifies everything.

The biscuits bake right in the gravy, soaking up all that savory goodness while still getting golden on top. The sausage gravy thickens beautifully in the oven, and the result is a dish that’s creamy, hearty, and incredibly satisfying.

It’s also more forgiving than the stovetop version - no worrying about broken gravy or overcooked biscuits.

A Little Tip Before You Start

This dish is rich and meant to be. Don’t be tempted to skimp on seasoning. Biscuits and gravy love black pepper, salt, and a little patience while things bake and bubble together.

Also, let it rest for 5–10 minutes after baking. The gravy thickens up perfectly and makes serving easier.

How to Serve It

This casserole is hearty enough to stand on its own, but if you want to round out the meal:

Fresh fruit or citrus salad
Simple scrambled eggs
Roasted potatoes
A crisp green salad (for balance)

And yes - it’s just as good for dinner as it is for breakfast.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

To make ahead:
Prepare the sausage gravy and assemble the casserole the night before. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning, adding 5–10 extra minutes to the bake time.

To store leftovers:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat:
Reheat in the oven at 350°F or microwave individual portions until warmed through.
