Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Fantastic! I'm going to make this an annual feast. (Just wanted to reassure the food police that I'm not planning to 'obesify' myself or my family) I think it's interesting that the creator was criticized by both sides of the aisle. What?? Not using the sausage fat plus added butter for the gravy?? Using package gravy mix? It continues to amaze me that people feel free to criticize the recipe maker AND infer that readers don't have the sense to know whether or not to serve this to their family. I'll say it again.... The dish was fantastic!

Yummy!! I made this last week and we loved it so much I am making two pans on Christmas for brunch for my large family. I used Pillsbury Grands Butter biscuits. ( they have visible flecks of butter in them). It's a 14 oz. can. I used the entire can. I tore them into large pieces and scattered them on the bottom of the greased pan. I used Pioneer brand Country Sausage flavor gravy mix and shredded Co jack cheese. Loved it! I will try Sharp cheddar cheese next time just to try it. **UPDATE**. This was a huge hit on Christmas day! Everyone devoured it. Some said they went back for 3rds. I made 2 pans the night before up to the gravy point then I stopped. I covered the pans with saran wrap and refrigerated them overnight. While the oven was preheating the next day I pulled the pans out of the refrigerator and set them on the counter. Then I made the gravy, poured it on top of the casseroles and baked. After they came out of the oven I let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. I also used tin throw away pans you buy in the store for easy clean up.

Did that guy REALLY say that it was irresponsible to publish a recipe like this? LOL Wow, sometimes all you can do is shake your head and walk away.

Made this three times and tweaked according to a suggestion from another recipe. Don't use Grands! It becomes more like a biscuit casserole rather than a gravy casserole and doesn't have that wonderful creamy gravy you want in this dish. Use regular biscuits (I used a 12 oz. can of flaky). I used Jimmy Dean 1/2 hot and 1/2 regular sausage. I also made my own gravy with 4 tbsp butter heated with 4 tbsp of flour and slowly poured in 2 cups of milk , brought to a boil until a creamy consistency and added salt and pepper to taste. I assembled everything in a 9X12 glass dish the night before except for the gravy. The next morning I warmed up the gravy, poured it over the top and cooked for 38 minutes (after the 3rd time, I found this to be the perfect time) SO much better! When I used Grands, my company liked it OK, but when I made it again, they sucked it up with rave reviews. Next time I'll take the suggestion to add the sausage drippings to the gravy. Yum!

Excellent !! And Easy Breezy....Well, for once in my life, I made it exactly as the recipe reads. I usually ALWAYS change something or look at several recipes and try to use the best ideas from each. Not this time!! And I agree with some who said why the heck not use packaged gravy and canned biscuits. If you've got time to make your own biscuits and gravy from scratch, go for it. Then write your own recipe and tell us how to make biscuits and gravy from scratch. Easy is why I chose this one. Thank you Angela.

Great and no leftovers. Even picky kid eaters liked it and said it tasted like something Grandma would make. That's a compliment any day! One can of biscuits only covered half the casserole so I used two cans, and I used 7 eggs instead of 6. Otherwise I followed the directions to a tee. I used Grands biscuits and they rose so much that my casserole nearly overflowed. Will definitely make again. Gravy gave it a nice creamy texture that you don't get with more traditional breakfast casseroles that only have potatoes, sausage, and eggs. **Made this second time using Grands Frozen Southern Style biscuits and it didn't turn out as well. It tasted okay but the biscuits rose toward the sides and created a crater of sorts in the middle, causing the gravy to pool in the middle. We still ate it all but I'll just stick to the refrigerated kind like the first time I made it.

It's a great recipe! I feel sorry for the people that come in and write a negative review and want to re-write the recipe. I f you don't care for a recipe I think you can write a review explaining what you didn't like about it without being so hateful!

I made this as with the exception of making my own gravy from the sausage drippings and added 5 more minutes of bake time. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Daughter suggested making a side of gravy for dipping, but we thought it was just fine as is. Highly recommend.

I made this last night for dinner using ingredients I already had: left over chicken, chicken gravy mix, and then all the rest of the ingredients were the same. Absolutely scrumptious!! I'm sure I will make it using the sausage and gravy too! This recipe is definitely a keeper!!

My 11 yr old granddaughter makes this all by herself...and she is so Very Proud. The only difference is we use 8 eggs and we use packaged pepper gravy. She beams when she does this and now she does it all by herself. I also am Very--Very proud of her.....

This casserole was awesome! I made it for our Sunday School class and there was not one crumb left! I've made this recipe at least 5 times now and my husband and toddler LOVE it! It has turned into our Christmas breakfast tradition :) I did alter it slightly. Rather than pork gravy, I used regular "country" style white gravy. Excellent substitute!

Delicious! The guys really, REALLY LOVED this, and so did I! This was very easy to make too. I used Peppered Sausage gravy instead of the pork gravy, because that's the way hubby likes his biscuits and gravy. I will def be making this again and again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

This turned out as a great keeper. I made a half and half version this morning. One half being these instructions, the other half for my spicy family members. The "other half" I used chorizo, pepper jack cheese, and sprinkled tabasco on top of the gravy before putting it in the oven. Mix it up and enjoy. Yum!

Turned out really well. I agree with most other posters and don't know why you would use a powdered instant gravy mix when you have the sausage grease. Just use a pound of sausage and make gravy. I'll also probably use a lot more eggs next t time too. Because I thought that layer could have been thicker.

For those of you who can'T understand why you'd throw away the sausage grease it's because it mainlines straight to your arteries whereas the packet mix takes a bit longer. Though biscuits and gravy are delicious they aren'T known as a healthy dish so if you can cut corners why not do it?

I prefer making my own biscuit dough for this and I use turkey sausage. Sometimes for an extra kick I mix hot sauce in the eggs. It's a huge hit here.

Followed recipe exactly as written, even buying a packaged gravy mix (which I have never done) Didn't dawn on me not to buy any type/brand large biscuits - now I understand why - too much of the casserole was just biscuit. I didn't care for the brown gravy with sausage - the flavor just ruined the dish and the combination of the packaged gravy and the packaged biscuits gave it was very artificial, chemical taste. If I ever would consider making again I'd buy the small type of plain biscuits, a good quality brand, maybe cut them up, and either make my own gravy or buy Bob Evans sausage gravy in a jar/can which is pretty good. My husband didn't mind it too much.

Make this all the time now. My whole family loves it. If there is any left over I take to work the next morning and it is still moist and taste great.

This was delicious! Only change I made was I made extra gravy and poured on top before serving. Had leftovers, and rewarmed for breakfast the next morning. Was just as good if not better. Everyone loved it!

Definitely will make again! Used a white country gravy rather than pork. It just seemed like the better choice because biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, etc. is always country gravy. I might go with less cheese next time. I put crumbled bacon on top but realized that wasn't a good idea because it was crunchy amidst all the soft yumminess. My son, 22 years old and has Autism) *hates* eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, etc. I cringed at what his reaction would be when I told him what dinner was yet surprisingly he was very interested because I "made it sound so good". One bite and he told me that I'd made a biscuits and gravy and egg and sausage lover out of him and that he could eat that every single day. lol Textures such as gravy cause a lot of the folks with Autism (all age ranges but not everyone with Autism has the issue) to actually never eat gravy. I've worked him into other gravies and yet couldn't succeed with country gravy. This dish did the trick! Thank you so much!! BTW, for anyone who might be concerned that it'll 'flow over' as I was, put a cookie tray either directly under the dish or like I did, on the next rack down. It didn't flow over but I was prepared! ;) Again thank you!!

This was easy to make and, like others, I made homemade gravy. I should've seasoned my gravy more as I felt this needed additional seasoning. I also used a different brand of sausage than I typically do. I used Smithfield and should have stayed with the no-fail Jimmy Dean.

Loved this. Next time I might add some chopped broccoli or spinach to the eggs for some extra nutrition. I used Trader Joe's biscuits and peeled them in half so that it could cover the entire bottom of the 9 x 13 baking dish. That way I didn't have any puffing up problems and all parts of the casserole had biscuit. Also made my own gravy in the frying pan, as many others did. Way easier and economical than bothering with a packet or a jar.

I prefer making my own biscuit dough for this and I use turkey sausage. Sometimes for an extra kick I mix hot sauce in the eggs. It's a huge hit here.

I make this for all holiday mornings and our family and friends love it! I use a large baking dish, the 16ounce can of biscuits, and it comes out a little drier than I would like so I use 8-10 eggs and a little less than one cup of milk. I also use a little more than the 1.5 cups of water for the pioneer gravy mix (almost the full 2 cups)... I don’t tend to have too much sausage grease once cooked so I don’t dispose of anything and just add it all in!

Amazing!! I used country gravy and also quartered my biscuits. Everyone wanted the recipe.

I followed the directions exactly! It turned out amazing! My family enjoyed this for "Kick of Summer Vacation Brunch."

I made it this morning and my husband and son both said it was delicious - son said it was the best biscuits and gravy he'd ever had! I used my own homemade sausage gravy - yummy! Easy and a keeper recipe!

A fantastic brunch recipe! I made it in an 8x8 pan. I used regular biscuits (store brand), 1lb of sausage half regular and half hot- both Jimmy Dean, 6 eggs (a good dash of baking powder to the egg mixture- to keep the eggs fluffy), and about 1 1/2 c of gravy made from sausage drippings. I prepared it, otherwise, as the recipe instructs. The only thing I would have done differently is to make extra gravy to serve on the side. Oh, and to double this recipe!!! Excellent dish!! Thank you for sharing it with the cooking community!

I made it for breakfast yesterday....Made my own gravy from the sausage grease...Used locally produced sausage from a friend...It was real good...with just the wife and I we had a lot left over but I cut it into servings and froze several and now have a good microwave breakfast alternative...I will make it again....

Delicious. And I made it just as the recipe said.

Loved it. Made it for work and it DISAPPEARED in minutes... So I was glad that I made 2 of them, and so were the rest of my coworkers.... !!!!

Pretty good! I agree with another reviewer to make your own gravy, even though I did make it as per the recipe this first time , but substituted half milk instead of all water for the gravy. I might try at another time using a lightly hopped ale for a “Dude" breakfast instead of water and milk . I’d add that I use a convection oven and it took 10 minutes longer to cook the middle because the oven drops the temperature by 25° F and the air browns the outside faster. So if you have a convection oven I would recommend baking it without the convention feature so that middle cooks faster and the outside doesn’t over brown.

I have made this recipe many times and it is a simple delicious meal that my whole family enjoys. It is always a favorite for holiday brunch. You can make this simple or more difficult depending on how much time you have. I usually cook my sausage the night before, use 9 eggs and season them with Tony's and black pepper. I also have no desire to make homemade gravy because usually I don't have time. I do use a cream gravy mix that I mix with milk instead of water and can be prepared in the microwave so all you have to clean up is a couple of bowls. Very yummy and easy recipe.

Made this tonight and it was a huge hit! Though I used country gravy rather than pork and it came out sooooooo good.

Love this, big hit every time I have made it!!

The eggs didn't turn out how I see in all the other pictures, I wasn't too sure if I should've spread out the biscuits on the bottom layer but it was great nonetheless! Flavors went together well!

Very good, made on Christmas morning and everyone loved it!

We’ve mad this casserole many times and has become a “must have” for family breakfasts. The only thing that I do different is to break up the Grands into half-inch pieces and spread across the bottom of the pan. I like the result better than laying whole biscuits in the pan.

I flattened out the raw biscuits as much as possible, then cover the bottom of a casserole dish like a pie crust. I too make my own gravy, otherwise nothing else was charged. Love making it for church breakfast gatherings. Always come home with a empty dish.

Been wanting to try this, and check it out before serving to company. I am so glad I did! We had it for supper, made exactly as written with Grands biscuits, hot bulk sausage and Pioneer Country gravy. Did not add even a pinch of salt or pepper as I wanted to try to do without - didn't need it. Makes a huge dish, and very rich. Can't wait to see what my son and his family think - we like to trade easy recipes. Thanks for a new go to breakfast casserole!

My husband LOVED this! It's the perfect weekend breakfast and the leftovers store well. I made it yesterday and we ate on this morning too!

Made this for Christmas brunch with the kids and it was a hit! Now they've requested it for Easter brunch...think I'll make a double batch.

I used Ground Turkey meat instead of beef or sausage, and I bought a Country Style Gravy mix. So I wouldn't have to make my own. Instant hit!!! I have ate a lot of Biscuits and Gravy in my life time, this receipe beats them all!

I went by the directions and all went well, except I used the wrong type of sausage. I bought Italian sausage instead of a breakfast sausage. I recommend ONLY using a breakfast sausage. Otherwise, the dish is great. Give it a good 35 minutes or so to make sure the biscuits are soggy but fully cooked. Also, the one think I will change in the future will be to make my own gravy. I agree with a review I read before that fresh gravy is better and takes just as much time as a package of gravy. Very easy to make while doing other quick things that you have to do after getting home from work, so it makes for a good dinner as well. Freeze leftovers in individual portions for a quick, yet filling, microwave breakfast (It has to be better than the prepackaged ones from the grocery store).

Instead of getting rid of the sausage grease, I used it to make my own gravy and pitched the package of gravy. Put half of the sausage on the bisquits and put the other half in the gravy then poured that over the eggs.

I used three packages of sausage and browned it. I divided it in half and set half aside. I then followed the instructions, except I did not put the gravy mix on the top. I put the casserole in the fridge over night and made my own gravy with the left over sausage. In the morning I baked the casserole WITHOUT the gravy. While it was baking I reheated the gravy added a bit more half and half and then poured it over the casserole when it came out of the oven......OMG it was amazing. I will make this again and again. THANK YOU

Very good recipe. Whole family loved it! Only change was I pulled apart the biscuits into pieces and used Pioneer Peppered cream gravy packet. The people that felt the need to make their own gravy and biscuits, bully for you! This recipe is great as is.

Yum! I had time today so I made it using two cups of homemade gravy instead of the gravy packet and it was deeelish! Nothing against gravy packets, I will definitely try in the future. Thanks for the recipe!

Just so so easy and so good. Thank you. To join the debate, I always read the comments. They are from people feeding their families, who don't always have the ingredients (like me). In this recipe, I will try to find that Pioneer mix. It is not available where I live. I will try Amazon. Tanks everyone.

I made this as directed and we loved it. I wouldn't change a thing. Tastes great with a little Texas Pete on the side of you like a spicy kick!

I used country sausage gravy instead, it was a hit and super easy!! Topped with Saracha sauce, it was delish!

Followed the directions and it was wonderful! This is the second time I've made it and everyone loved it! I will make it again!

I should have just thrown all those ingredients in the garbage and not wasted my time. The biscuits never browned, they were like dumplings. The biscuits in biscuits and gravy should be baked so they are sort of “dry” , these were so gummy . I knew the biscuits wouldn’t be “baked” but I didn’t think they would be quite that nasty. Another thing, cheese DOES NOT belong on gravy. Who in the world thought that was a good combination???

I made this and for the picky adults in the house they loved it! I commend the original poster of this because I am all about easy cooking! For those passing such harsh judgment, I used PREPACKAGED FROZEN GRAVY!! And I forgot the cheese! I know the horror of it all! Will definitely make this again!

Easy to make and tasty - what else could you want?

This is a great recipe. I subbed in homemade biscuits and homemade gravy. It takes the extra effort for this, so if you don’t have the time you can use the pre-made biscuits and it will still turn out great. I used to used gravy packets for years and would and sausage to it. After I learned out to make gravy it almost takes the same amount of time. But to each there own recipes are a guide line so unless you work in a restaurant have fun and tinker with it to make it your own. I enjoyed the recipe.

Oh my yummy!!! My kids have been asking to have breakfast for dinner and after reading the reviews, I went for it. YUMMY! It's easy, flavorful and filling. The only change I made was adding a little extra cheese. Every one should try this.

Made this at my son's request. We liked it but it wasn't something we would go out of our way to make again.

I made it with 2 changes, I made my own pork sausage gravy, skipped the loose crumbled pork and added in 5-cheese Italian blend cheese along with 1/2 cup cheddar. So yummy! The whole family loves it.

Just did a test run of this recipe for my husband, 22 year old grandson and his friend They loved it and came back for more. I will be making this again for our next breakfast potluck. I didn't change a thing.

Haven't made yet. But wanted to know could it be made the night before and cooked the next morning?

Made as written as I am not good at changing the ingredients. My husband and daughter loved it and will serve again. I as others have said used the sausage grease and made my own gravy, instead of a package of gravy.

This was simple delicious ??. The only change I made was to make my own gravy. I don't like packages gravy mixes. Otherwise, this is fast, easy and my family loved it.

Very easy to make and very yummy! I'm already thinking about how good the leftovers will be! Next time (and there will be a next time!) I'll make my own biscuit dough and add a little more gravy. I didn't see the need for cheese. I followed recipe, but next time it won't be added.

This is now my family's new brunch favorite and i have made it numerous times. So easy to prepare and very tasty. The only change I made is that I cut the biscuits into four. This allows the sausage, gravy and eggs to spread a little more and doesn't make the biscuit overtake everything else. I have made my own gravy, used dry gravy mix and used already prepared gravy (can be found in most groceries in the south).

Ok, I made it both ways, just as is and using the sausage grease to make my own gravy. In my opinion if you are trying to cut back on fats use the package mix. For the taste my family wanted the real sausage gravy. The youngest want this all the time now, I have used Italian sausage as well to change it up even more. A plainer version could be made using hamburger but I think I will stick to the sauasge.

No changes are necessary. This is comfort food at its best! I have shared this at our local food pantry and it was also a hit with our clients. Thanks for the recipe.

Pretty good although i think the directions r a little off for example i started on step 5 and kinda backtracked.I mean who wants their biscuits sitting out while they do all that? also i used packaged sausage gravy and added bacon..good comfort food

LOVED THIS!! Only things I did different were I used sausage gravy from a can, used the broiler at the very end to crisp up the top, and put fresh cut scallions on top when serving. Such an easy recipe, will definitely make again REAL SOON!!

Great recipe and easy peasy to make. Tasted even better after gravy soaked into buns and was reheated. We love cheese so I used two cups divided.

This is my go to recipe! I like saucy and moist dishes as well as a deliciously balance of flavors and this recipe fulfills all of those requirements. Hope you try it....I'm sure you'll feel the same.

Read the reviews prior to making this. I did break the biscuits into pieces and made additional gravy to pour on top. This is a GREAT recipe. We'll make it again and aiain

Quite delicious and easy to make. Like other reviews mentioned, I just made my own gravy in the same pan I browned the sausage in. Used most of two cans of regular biscuits and covered the entire bottom of the dish. Next time Ill just use one can and quarter or halve the biscuits and not cover the entire bottom. It was too much biscuit. Ill probably make an extra side of gravy too. I also added sliced mushrooms and green onions. This is a keeper.

Excellent! My husband does not like mushy biscuits (at all) so I did cut the biscuit dough into 6 pieces with a pizza cutter before putting in the pan, and also prebaked it a bit. I was soooo happy with the toppings, though! I was afraid that the gravy would just mix in with the egg, but after it was cooked, the egg and gravy were distinct and the casserole lifted from the pan without being too goopey - will definitely make this again!

I used this recipe as a guide but made a few changes. I quartered my biscuits, laying them in the bottom of the pan. I made my own gravy and poured it over the biscuits and added the cooked sausage. I baked this for 10 minutes then I added the eggs (I used a whole cup of milk). I baked that for another 10 minutes or until it no longer jiggled. Then I sprinkled only a cup of these on top with green onions and placed it under the broiler until golden. Great recipe! And it reheats well, so it's nice for company.

A local country store with a deli has this dish daily. I was going 3-4 times a week to get. The only difference: theirs has cubed potatoes. I've tried repeatedly to duplicate, but haven't gotten it right. I think maybe the biscuits is why mine isn't the same. I use canned, precooked new potatoes.

We made it five stars with chorizo sausage and added some cilantro from the garden to the egg mixture. It was awesome! An easy recipe that will definitely be made again many times over - a great breakfast, brunch, or dinner - which is what I made it for this first time. Great recipe!!!

The only thing different was to add a few spices to the ground pork. I used Southeastern country gravy 4.5 oz. and I also make a little extra to serve in a small pitcher for those who want a little extra on top. Thanks for the recipe

I made one little change because my three grandsons were here, I cut biscuits into 4 pieces then placed in bottom of baking pan. It turned out great. Big hit

OMG! This is so good! I doubled the recipe for our family of nine and made my own sausage gravy from drippings using Bill's Sausage Gravy Recipe from this site. I didn't have milk so used half and half which helped make it creamy delicious. My daughter asked me to make this for all our family gatherings.

I my own biscuits, and I made my own gravy with sausage, the rest i followed the recipe my family loves the stuff no matter what meal I serve it as

Easy to prepare and is absolutely fantastic. I make extra gravy to pour over portions if my guests like. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I got this recipe in an email from Allrecipes and I made it this morning! We didn't have any regular sausage so I used maple. Made gravy with the sausage in the pan. OMG this is so yummy! I will definitely be making this again and sharing this recipe!

I am not a casserole fan, but needed a casserole recipe to take dinner to a neighbor. I decided to try it out on us first and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! I took the advice of others here and made country gravy from the sausage drippings and supplemented with butter. This is definitely a caloric indulgence, but most casseroles are and this one is worth the occasional splurge!

Great! Followed the recipe and it was delicious. Will definitely make again and again.

This was really good! I only changed it a tiny bit. I added some white cheddar and Swiss cheese to the recipe and I only had a 2.5 oz. package of Country gravy mix so I used that. I also split the biscuits apart before I put them in the glass pan. Perfect!

Comfort food at it's best. Simple, tastes great. Made exactly as described and will make it again. Thank you

This turned out really well! I made it at home and it was eaten up very quickly. I did make my own gravy with the sausage grease. It’s a family favorite.

Very easy and good. Used peppered gravy.

This was delicious and easy to make! I did listen to the other reviewers who suggested making the gravy from the sausage drippings, which only adds about 5-10 additional minutes to the process. I also added cayenne pepper to the gravy for just a touch of heat. My husband thought that adding green chile would be a nice touch (being from New Mexico, he puts green chile on everything!). I used a generic 14oz can of jumbo flaky butter biscuits, quartered them and tossed them around the bottom of the 9" x 13" pan, generic pork sausage, 8 eggs, and Colby Jack cheese. I then baked it for 40 min exactly and it came out perfect. Big hit with the fam.

I listened to. Lot of reviews. Did not buy the gravy mix. But in the end there was not really enough grease from the sausage to make a tasty gravy. The biscuits on the bottom did not raise or really cook and were very doughy. Also it needs no salt. I will throw this recipe away, like I did with most of the casserole.

This was great. Easy to assemble and doesn't have to cook that long. My family loved it!

Yummy! Made for Christmas morning and my boys asked to make it every breakfast! Used large can of biscuits cut up, 7 eggs (to use up the container), and made my own gravy. Was delicious. I could see making it up ahead of time, if you needed to, but wasn't too much work the morning of.

Looks Very Delicious

I made this with regular buttermilk bisquits. The grands were to much. I added onion to my sausage while cooking. I used wondra quick moxing flour to make my gravy and used almond milk. It turned out great. It was better than the original recipe I thought. But the original recipe is a 5 star.

I used country gravy instead of pork gravy.

Made my own gravy with the sausage drippings, and the family really enjoyed this dish for dinner.

I followed the recipe exactly. Not exciting but I think the recipe has potential. I would ditch the Grands and use regular canned biscuits or use less than a full can. I would not use the packet of pork gravy mix. I would follow the advice of other reviewers and make country sausage gravy right in the same pan you brown the sausage. It is no harder than using the packet, saves cleaning another pan, and is SO much better tasting. I will try again with these adjustments.

It was scrumptious! I didn't change a thing. It was easy and delicious
