HOW TO MAKE BISCUITS AND GRAVY CASSEROLE

As I mentioned, this recipe is truly so simple to make, and it only requires a couple of minutes of active cooking time. 

And even if you've never made homemade gravy and biscuits casserole before, I guarantee this recipe will turn out amazing on your first go. 

So, with that said, let's not waste another second and get cooking!

STEP 1: COOK THE SAUSAGE

First, begin by preheating the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch baking dish with some cooking oil, cooking spray, or butter.

Then you can take out a skillet and set it over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add the sausage to the skillet and cook it for a few minutes until it's nicely browned on all sides. When it's finished cooking, take it off the heat, and you can move on to assembling the casserole.

STEP 2: ASSEMBLE THE CASSEROLE

Once you've got the sausage ready to go, you'll want to first place the biscuit dough into the prepared baking dish. Then lightly press down on it to slightly flatten the biscuits and stretch them to cover the bottom of the baking dish.

Next, you can top the biscuit dough with the cooked sausage and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Now for the egg gravy, grab a large bowl and beat the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Then you can pour this mixture evenly over top of the sausage and cheese layer.

Lastly, top the whole casserole with any prepared gravy that you want.

STEP 3: BAKE THE CASSEROLE

Once you've assembled the casserole, you can put it in the oven and bake it for 35-40 minutes.

Then after it cooks, you can take the biscuits and gravy casserole out of the oven, slice it, and serve warm.

Enjoy!

HOW TO STORE BISCUITS AND GRAVY CASSEROLE

This recipe for biscuits and gravy casserole makes 6 servings, so it's perfect for a big family breakfast or if you're hosting. Honestly, it's so delicious that I've never had any leftovers after making this casserole.

With that said, if you end up with leftovers, you can store the breakfast sausage casserole in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Alternatively, if you want your leftovers to last even longer, you can freeze the casserole in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. 

HOW TO REHEAT BISCUITS AND GRAVY CASSEROLE

When you're ready to enjoy your biscuits and gravy casserole again, it's definitely best reheated.

To reheat your breakfast casserole, I suggest transferring it back to the casserole dish and heating it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until it reaches your desired temperature.

However, if you're just trying to reheat a single serving, you can just pop it in the microwave and heat it in 30-second intervals until it's fully warmed through.

And if you're reheating the frozen casserole, it's best to let it thaw in the fridge overnight first.
