How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole with Bacon & Sausage
This Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is the ultimate comfort food—perfect for a cozy brunch or a hearty breakfast-for-dinner night! With crispy bacon, savory sausage, and gooey cheese, it’s sure to please everyone at the table.
What You’ll Need:
- Refrigerated biscuits – 1 can (16 oz). I always go for flaky layers for that perfect biscuit texture.
- Cooked bacon – 1 cup, chopped. I recommend using thick-cut bacon for extra flavor and crunch.
- Cooked sausage – 1 cup, crumbled. A good breakfast sausage will add a savory kick; I like the ones from Johnsonville!
- Shredded cheddar cheese – 2 cups, divided. Use sharp cheddar for that zingy flavor!
- Diced onion – 1/2 cup. Sweet onions work beautifully here.
- Diced bell pepper – 1/2 cup (optional). Green or red adds a pop of color and sweetness!
- Large eggs – 4, to help bind everything together perfectly.
- Milk – 2 cups. Whole milk makes this casserole extra rich and creamy.
- All-purpose flour – 1/4 cup, to thicken the egg mixture.
- Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Onion powder – 1 teaspoon, to enhance the taste.
- Salt and pepper – to taste, always essential!
- Fresh parsley – chopped, for garnish and a lovely touch of freshness.
The Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Spread the biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy. Then, add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned. If you’re including onions and bell pepper, add them now and cook until softened.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the sausage and bacon mixture evenly over the biscuit layer in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat mixture to ensure cheesy goodness throughout!
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over everything in the baking dish, ensuring it coats all ingredients evenly.
- Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese for that glorious melty layer on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. You want the cheese to be bubbly and the casserole to be set in the middle.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor!
Enjoy your hearty and delicious Biscuits and Gravy Casserole with Bacon & Sausage—it’s a dish that will definitely warm your heart and fill your belly!
Can I Use Frozen Biscuits Instead of Refrigerated?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits! Just make sure to let them thaw completely before cutting them into quarters. If they’re partially frozen, consider microwaving them for a few seconds to soften them up enough for cutting.
What Can I Substitute for Milk in This Recipe?
If you’re looking for a non-dairy option, you can substitute milk with almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Just ensure it’s unsweetened to keep the savory flavor intact. You can also use chicken or vegetable broth for a different twist!
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop it in the microwave or warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 15-20 minutes.
Can I Add More Vegetables to This Casserole?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and add more veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes. Just make sure to sauté them first to remove excess moisture, helping to prevent a soggy casserole!
