1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Preheat oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Prepare biscuits:
Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole: Tips, Tricks & Servings

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is a hearty, crowd-pleasing breakfast or brunch dish that combines all the comfort of classic Southern biscuits and gravy with the ease of a casserole.

It layers soft, fluffy biscuit pieces with creamy sausage gravy, often topped with cheese or eggs for extra indulgence.

Whether you're feeding a hungry family, hosting brunch, or meal-prepping for the week, this casserole delivers big flavor with minimal effort.

Servings

A standard 9x13-inch casserole dish typically serves 8–10 people, depending on portion size. For smaller groups, you can halve the recipe and use an 8x8-inch baking dish. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days and reheat beautifully, making it perfect for weekday breakfasts.

Key Tips for the Best Casserole

Use Quality Sausage:
Choose a flavorful breakfast sausage—pork or turkey works well. If you like a little heat, go for a spicy sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Make a Thick Gravy:
Your sausage gravy should be thick but pourable. Too thin, and it’ll make the biscuits soggy. Too thick, and it won’t spread evenly. Aim for a creamy, velvety texture. Use flour and milk (whole milk is best) to get it just right.
Don’t Overbake:
Overbaking can dry out the biscuits and gravy. Bake just until the top is golden and the center is set, usually about 30–35 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
Layer the Biscuits Right:
For even baking, cut the biscuits into quarters before layering them into the dish. Use either store-bought refrigerated biscuits for ease or homemade dough for extra flavor.
Add Cheese or Eggs (Optional):
Want to make it heartier? Sprinkle shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese between layers or whisk in a few eggs and pour them over the top before baking for an eggy, frittata-style twist.
Make Ahead Friendly:
Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate it. In the morning, just pop it in the oven—perfect for holidays or busy mornings.
Let It Rest:
After baking, let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes before cutting. This helps the gravy settle and makes for cleaner slices.

Flavor Variations

Add sautéed onions, mushrooms, or spinach for extra veggies.
Mix in diced ham or crumbled bacon with the sausage.
Swap out biscuits for croissant dough for a buttery twist.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with fresh fruit or a light salad for balance.
Serve with hot sauce, maple syrup, or extra gravy on the side.
A glass of orange juice or hot coffee rounds out the meal.
