So delicious! My go to recipe for morning football tailgates! Everyone loves it and I have had so many requests for this recipe!
Saw this recipe and immediately knew my husband would love it. It was easy to make (even the homemade biscuits) and delicious!
I wanted this to work and be yummy, but the biscuits puffed up so much it absorbed all of the egg and gravy liquid and I wish I wouldn’t have wasted the ingredients. Sorry!
Such a delicious and convenient recipe, it was an absolute hit with the family, and has already been added to the list of Sunday morning breakfast meals.
The only modification was to add a couple of tablespoons of bacon drippings, along with a bit more flour and an additional cup of half & half, in order to have more gravy for the side of hash browns, biscuits and bacon I included in the breakfast. I also added some chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, onions and diced tomatoes to the eggs.
Next time around, I’ll be adding a big bowl of grits and a couple of stacks of buttermilk pancakes to the feast!
This is my 3rd year in a row making this recipe for my family for Christmas Day brunch and it’s officially a tradition! A few things I did differently:
🎄 I doubled the sausage gravy recipe and put half in the casserole and saved the other half to top each serving!
🎄 I added loads of fresh ground black pepper to the sausage gravy because we love pepper! I also added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes because we also like it spicy.
🎄 I replaced the vegetable shortening with unsalted butter because…butter.
🎄 I used my Christmas cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes for the biscuits on top. So cute!
I highly recommend this recipe!! I wish I could share a picture of mine.
Awesome, easy recipe, co-workers loved it.
Excellent!
I made this for brunch one weekend and was impressed with how well it turned out. I would definitely make it again. I’d love some ideas to punch the flavor up a bit, though, if you have any!
I’d think there are a few things you could do. You could add finely chopped onion or chives with the egg layer. Top with green onions and/or diced tomato when served. A 1/2 t of dry mustard added with the other spices could be nice. I hope this helps.
This was WONDERFUL. I made a few mistakes, such as not seeing that only SOME of the biscuits would be scattered on the bottom of the pan and the rest on top. I put them all in the bottom. I used butter instead of shortening. I was also out of block cheese and ended up using some sliced mild cheddar layered on top of the eggs mixture. It still turned out absolutely perfect and delicious. I will likely double the gravy next time, but otherwise, just great. All five of the kids at our house ate and had seconds. Major win!
