Biscuits and Gravy Casserole could be our greatest mash-up yet.We've taken our famous biscuits and gravy recipe and transformed it into a Sausage Gravy Casserole that even rivals a traditional breakfast egg casserole. You really get the best of both worlds here with eggs, biscuits and gravy, and the best part is you can prep it in advance! (We've enjoyed it for Christmas Breakfast, or anytime we're hosting guests, for this reason!).

I originally shared this recipe November 2020. Updated October 2023 and February 2025.
I made for my family and our parish Priests. Everyone loved it. I think I will make some additional gravy to serve on the side.
My eggs took 45+ minutes to set and by the time they did my biscuits were almost if not burnt. What should I do next time? We live about 5200 above sea level…..
My daughter has Celiac’s.
I’ve learned tricks for making gravies gluten free.
Any thoughts on making the biscuits gluten-free?
skip the biscuits and use hashbrowns
If I double this, would I use 2 cans of biscuits? It still says one when I hit the 2x. Also, would it change time to cook?
Yes! 2 cans of biscuits.
Would this work with frozen store bought biscuits?
Yes!
Made this on a limb. It was a family hit!! They are begging for me to make it again!! Also super simple
We made this for Christmas breakfast, and my family LOVED it. Making it right now for a Friday night meal. Yum-O!
We strayed from our go-to Christmas morning casserole to make this biscuits and gravy casserole and all I can say is Thank You! It was delicious and my family raved about it! Unlike the previous casserole, I loved how I could make this in advance, which made the whole Christmas morning more enjoyable – not just me in the kitchen prepping food. This will for sure be our new go-to for Christmas!
Made this yesterday for a potluck and had nothing to bring home! Everyone was so impressed! The flavors, textures, and combination was awesome. Highly recommend following the biscuit recipe. It seriously gives you that punch! Making this for Christmas Eve breakfast for sure!
So much goodness in this recipe. Your biscuits and gravy have become a family staple so I was excited to come across this casserole. I love how it’s all in one dish – eggs, gravy, and the biscuits. We loved it!
