Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
Description
Biscuits and Gravy Casserole begins with breakfast pork sausage cooked until browned and combined with flour to form the basis for a thick gravy. Whole milk and seasonings including salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are added and cooked until the sauce thickens. The savory sausage gravy is then poured into a greased baking dish and topped with shredded Colby Jack cheese for a mild, creamy flavor layer. Refrigerated canned biscuits are cut into quarters and arranged atop the cheese. Baking at 350°F melts the cheese and cooks the biscuit pieces until golden and cooked through. This casserole blends soft and fluffy biscuits with a creamy, flavorful gravy that can be served for breakfast or brunch. It pairs well with eggs or a fresh fruit side. Variations include using ground turkey sausage or homemade biscuits, and substitutions for non-dairy milk exist though untested in this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage breakfast
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk whole
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup Colby jack cheese shredded
- 16 ounces refrigerated biscuits 8 biscuits, canned
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually pour the milk into the skillet, whisking constantly to combine with the flour and sausage. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens into a gravy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour the sausage gravy into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the gravy.
- Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of the cheese layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the gravy is bubbly. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ground turkey sausage can replace pork sausage; choose breakfast sausage varieties to maintain flavor.
- Using whole milk or half and half yields creamier gravy; non-dairy milks may be used but results may vary.
- Refrigerated biscuits simplify preparation, though homemade biscuits can also be used.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat individual servings covered to preserve moisture.
