Sausage Biscuit and Gravy Casserole
Anyone that has ever been to my house knows that when I am in the mood to cook, I cook. Although with our busy lives it is not always possible when I get the opportunity to try out new recipes I jump at the chance. And when I was asked if I would like to review a new cookbook from Southern Living called Sunday Suppers by Cynthia Graubart, I couldn’t wait for it to come in the mail. When I received it in the mail, I immediately started combing through it looking for my next cooking experiment. And I found several, and I was able to make a few shortcuts because as you know, I am a shortcut kind of cook. So here is my take on her Sausage Biscuit Gravy Bake.
I am including the full recipe that the book had, but I am also going to add my shortcuts.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground pork sausage ( or if you have brown and serve sausage which I had in my freezer- you can use that. Here is a note our local grocery store had these for buy one get one free awhile back, so that is why I still had some in my freezer. I had the patties, but the links will work as well.)
- 2 two teaspoons of canola oil ( I didn’t use this as the sausage gave it enough grease I didn’t need to add any more.)
- 5 tablespoons of butter or country crock
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3 cups of milk
- 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- cooking spray
- 8 refrigerated Jumbo biscuits
- 1/2 cup of green onions ( I left those off because we aren’t big onion fans.)
- 1/4 cup of shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese ( I didn’t have any cheddar, so I used mozzarella cheese.)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Remove sausage from skillet and drain.
- If you choose the route I took with the brown and serve, then you will need to take time to cut them into little pieces.
- Melt butter or country crock in skillet.
- Whisk in flour.
- Whisk constantly for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, continually whisking, cook 2 minutes.
- Stir in sausage.
- Grease a 11×7 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Split biscuits in half lengthwise.
- Place 8 halves on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Top with half of the sausage mixture and if you choose to go the green onion route then you can add them now.
- Repeat the layers.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake at 350ºF for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
I made this recipe when my girls and Lex were home for Thanksgiving. They headed back to school that Friday because of research projects they are involved with so I wanted to make sure they had a good brunch before they hit the road. If I had to do this differently, I would have waited until the last 10 minutes to add the cheese but other than that it was delicious.

Oh wow! I’m pretty sure that’s the definition of comfort food breakfast. My fiance would love this dish 🙂 I hope the research projects your girls are working on are going well!
The oldest daughter is a researcher in a science lab. And the other daughter is a design major and she has done so many art projects this year. I am in awe of both of them.
These look so tasty! They would make a great weekend breakfast when everyone is home!
It was the first time I made it and it was hit. But I am glad I used the brown and serve sausage it made it quick
What a yummy recipe! I’m totally going to add this to my holiday meal prep list.
