Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Ingredients

• REFRIGERATED BISCUITS – We used Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Biscuits and they worked out great. But you can use whatever you’d like. Some have stated that Grands were perfect but others said it resulted in “too much” biscuits in the casserole. So you can use “smaller” biscuits if you are worried about that.
• PORK SAUSAGE – 1 lb of pork sausage. Cooked and drained. Any type you’d like.
• CHEESE – We used shredded cheddar cheese. But you can use Monterey Jack, Colby, Swiss or any other cheese. We always recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself instead of buying the pre-shredded cheese. it melts better.
• EGGS 
• MILK – We used 2% milk. For a little thicker, creamier gravy, you can use whole milk. I would not use less fat than 2% though.
• ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
• SALT AND PEPPER – To taste.

Can You Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Ahead Of Time?

Yes. You can assemble this casserole up to 24 hours ahead of time. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and put it in your refrigerator. I’d take it out and let it sit at room temperature while the oven is preheating.

You can also either just brown the sausage ahead of time. So that you’ll have the cooked sausage ready to go in the morning. Or make the sausage gravy ahead of time. Keep it in the fridge to make things go a little quicker in the morning.

Can You Use Homemade Biscuits?

Yep! You sure can! This recipe for 7-up biscuits would work great! Or these Copycat Cracker Barrel Biscuits! Just prepare the dough according to the instructions and use it to replace the store bought dough.

Storage, Leftovers and Freezing

Another great thing about this casserole is that leftovers taste amazing! Store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. They should be good for up to 3 days.

You can freeze this casserole. Just allow it to cool and then wrap it tightly in freezer wrap or aluminum foil. It should be good in your freezer for up to 4 months. Allow to thaw overnight in your refrigerator.

Notes, Tips and FAQs

• ADD BACON – Cook up some bacon and add some bacon crumbles on top of this casserole.
• GREASE THE BAKING DISH – It is really important to grease your baking dish really well, or else you’ll have some sticky biscuits!
• GRAVY TOO THICK OR TOO THIN? – If your gravy is too thick, simply add a dash of milk until it is the consistency that you like. If it’s too thin, add a little more flour.
• CAST IRON SKILLET – We recommend cooking your sausage in a cast iron skillet, then before cleaning it, making your gravy in the same skillet. That way you can scrape all the brown bits up into the gravy for extra flavor.
