As much as I love a plate of traditional biscuits and gravy, I’m really excited to share this biscuits and gravy casserole recipe with you today! It’s just as rich and flavorful as the original dish, but it’s also extra filling and incredibly easy to make, too. It starts with a layer of tender biscuits along the bottom of your pan, and then an egg-and-milk mixture is poured over the top. After that, you’ll add the juicy sausage, sautéed onions, creamy gravy, and melty cheddar cheese as the finishing touches.

Key Ingredients
I usually have everything I need in my kitchen to make this sausage biscuit casserole! Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full ingredient list.
- Biscuits: I used Grands, but any brand of biscuits that you prefer will work just fine.
- Sausage: You can use whatever kind of sausage you like in this recipe. Bacon and/or ham also work here, too.
- Onion: Dice up a white or yellow onion for this recipe.
- Eggs: You can add or subtract eggs from this recipe to make it more/less eggy, if needed.
- Milk: I prefer to use 2% or whole milk for this casserole.
- White Gravy: I like to do a packaged gravy because it’s easy and saves time.
- Cheese: Add some shredded cheddar cheese to top this meal off! Pepper jack is a good substitute if you’re craving a little heat.
How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

- Prepare: Cut each biscuit into fourths and place them on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Cook the sausage: Cook the sausage and onion in a skillet. Add the seasonings and stir to combine.
- Assemble: Beat the eggs in a bowl and add the melted butter and milk. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the biscuits and then top with the sausage mixture. Spoon the gravy over the top of everything and top it all with shredded cheese.
- Bake: Place in preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes at 350°F.
Chef’s Tips & Variations
- Sausage: Use any kind you like – you can even use a spicier kind of sausage to introduce some heat to your casserole.
- Gravy: For this recipe, you can make homemade gravy or make up a package of gravy from the store.
- Make Ahead: This biscuits and gravy casserole can be prepped the night before and stored in the refrigerator. Or, prepare only the sausage gravy ahead and refrigerate it overnight. Then reheat the gravy, assemble the casserole, and bake according to recipe directions!
- Add Veggies: Toss in some bell peppers or mushrooms along with the onions.
Serving Suggestions
- Cinnamon Rolls: That way you can cover savory and sweet in your breakfast spread. Try something like these pumpkin cinnamon rolls!
- Waffles or Pancakes: Another great way to add some sweetness to your plate! Whip up a simple batch of fluffy pancakes and throw in some maple syrup/whipped cream while you’re at it.
- Muffins: Who doesn’t love a muffin, especially if it’s a glazed lemon poppy seed muffin? I know you’ve already got biscuit in your casserole, but muffins are too good to pass up sometimes. Plus they could be mini muffins if you want…
- Fresh Fruit: This is what I end up serving with my casserole most often, because it’s light, sweet, and really easy! I generally do berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.), but you could do orange or banana slices, or whatever else you like!
Storing and Reheating
This casserole is best served fresh! It sadly does not freeze or keep well as the texture won’t be the same once reheated. However, if you do have leftovers and really want to try to enjoy them again, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warmed all the way through.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut each biscuit into 4 equal parts and place them evenly on the bottom of the pan.
- Cook the sausage and onion in a skillet, breaking apart and crumbling the meat as it cooks, until onion is soft and sausage is cooked through. Add the salt, pepper and sage and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Add the melted butter and milk, stirring to combine. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the biscuits and then top with the sausage mixture. Spoon the gravy over the top of everything and top it all with shredded cheese.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through. Watch casserole closely and cover with tinfoil if getting too browned. (I usually cover it half way through baking.)
- Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes and then serve!
