Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Recipe
Description
This casserole begins by arranging quartered canned biscuits in a greased pan, followed by browned sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. An egg and milk mixture is poured over the layers, which is then refrigerated overnight to set and meld the flavors. The next day, a homemade sausage gravy is prepared by making a roux with butter and flour, then gradually whisking in milk until thickened and seasoned with salt and pepper. The casserole is baked until bubbly and golden.
The result is a hearty dish combining tender, flaky biscuit pieces with flavorful sausage, gooey cheese, and creamy gravy. The overnight soak allows the biscuits to absorb the egg custard, creating a strata-like texture. The homemade gravy complements the casserole with its smooth, peppery sauce.
This casserole suits a comforting breakfast or brunch, easily feeding a family or guests. It can be served alongside fresh fruit or a green salad for balance. The make-ahead step streamlines busy mornings by having the prep done the night before.

- 8 egg
