How to Make Biscuits & Gravy Casserole
If you love biscuits and gravy, you’ll love the casserole version! Rich sauce with buttery biscuits baked together for a simple, hearty breakfast[5] or dinner[6]!
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13[7] inch pan[8] with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Cook Sausage: Add the breakfast sausage to a large skillet over medium high heat, cook and crumble until no longer pink.
- Make Roux: Add the unsalted butter to the pan and melt. Whisk in the flour mixture, stirring until coated.
- Add Milk, Cream, & Simmer: Slowly add the whole milk and whipping cream. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the gravy has thickened.
- Add Gravy to Baking Dish: Pour the gravy into the prepared 9×13 pan.
- Add Biscuit Pieces & Bake: Add the cut biscuits[9] to the sausage gravy mixture, then bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
