SUBSTITUTIONS and ADDITIONS
Biscuit Dough: If you can’t get ready-made biscuit dough where you live, take a look at our homemade biscuit recipe.
Heavy Cream: Whole milk will work just as well as heavy cream for this biscuits and gravy breakfast casserole recipe.
Cheddar Cheese: Any type of hard cheese can be used in place of Cheddar, so feel free to use Swiss, Monterey Jack, Colby or whatever you have in the fridge.
Breakfast Sausage: Breakfast sausage comes in patties, links or loose sausages and all are fine to use for this recipe. As an alternative, you could use Italian sausage, or make a vegetarian version of this casserole with meat-free sausages.
Country Gravy Mix: If you can’t get hold of country gravy mix you can easily make your own country gravy by whisking together 3 tablespoons of butter, 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 1/2 cups of whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Potato: Crispy potatoes would make a great addition to this sausage breakfast bake. Chop them into bite-sized pieces, boil until tender, and then fry alongside the onions.
Bacon: This would make a tasty addition to go alongside the sausage if you desire.
HOW TO MAKE A Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
STEP TWO: Grease a 9” x 13” baking pan. Layer the chopped biscuit dough on the bottom of pan.
STEP THREE: Melt butter in a medium-sized skillet. Add onion and cook for about three minutes, until the onion is translucent.
STEP FOUR: Add the sausage and continue to cook until it is cooked through and no pink remains.
STEP FIVE: Drain the fat from the sausage and onions then layer them over the biscuits.
STEP SIX: Whisk together the cream, eggs, garlic powder, and oregano. Pour it over the sausage.
STEP SEVEN: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture.
STEP EIGHT: Prepare the gravy mix according to directions and pour one and a half cups over the cheese.

soooo delicious! my family loved it!
I’m guessing you cooked the biscuits first? Recipe list calls out dough, but pics look like it’s cooked and that makes more sense to me. Do you put biscuit dough in or cooked biscuits?
Thanks!
Hey, Todd – you’ll put the dough in and it will bake along with the eggs! Enjoy 🙂
This sounds delicious! I am getting ready to fix it but I have one question. Do you use all the sausage grease plus add bacon grease or butter?
Yes!
Fantastic! Everyone was looking for seconds!
Can you make this the night before/refrigerate and cook the next morning?
Yes! Enjoy!
This is such an easy, delicious breakfast! It comes together simple and is very hearty!
