A comforting and hearty breakfast casserole combining savory sausage, creamy gravy, and flaky biscuits baked together for a fuss-free, crowd-pleasing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (sage-seasoned preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk, warmed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing on top)
  • Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley, shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 10×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving a little for flavor.
  3. Stir in butter into the skillet with sausage fat until melted. Sprinkle flour evenly and whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly pour in warmed milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook gravy, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add more milk if gravy is too thick.
  4. Open biscuit can and cut biscuits into halves or quarters. Layer biscuit pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
  5. Pour sausage gravy evenly over biscuits, coating all pieces. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until biscuits are puffed, golden, and gravy is bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Warm the milk before adding to the roux to prevent lumps. Cut biscuits evenly for uniform cooking. Brush melted butter on biscuit tops for a golden crust. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly. Let casserole rest 5 minutes before serving. Variations include using gluten-free biscuits, dairy-free milk, plant-based sausage, or adding cheese and spices.
