What to serve with this breakfast casserole?

This sausage and biscuit casserole is a complete meal on it’s own but if you are looking to round out a meal you can add some simple side dishes. I like to serve this with fresh fruit or berries, either just simply chopped or in a nice fruit salad. It is also delicious with a green salad or fresh veggies for more of a brunch meal. Hash browns or home fries are also a great side dish for this hearty breakfast casserole.

What sausage is best for this casserole?

I like to use ground breakfast sausage for this recipe but if you have another favorite sausage you can use it! Sausage with maple flavor is delicious or for a little bit of spice you can use hot sausage or Italian sausage. You’ll want to use bulk ground sausage and not sausage links or patties. If you have a sausage gravy recipe you love that is different than the one I’ve used here you can easily use it instead. I know some people who prefer to make their own homemade gravy and others that prefer a gravy mix. If you use a different recipe than mine just make sure there is the same amount of sausage gravy so that you have enough!

Ingredients for this Sausage Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

10 Large Eggs

1 Pound Sausage

1/4 Cup Flour

2 1/2 Cups Milk

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

6 Tbsp Butter

1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

2 Cans Jumbo Biscuits (16 total biscuits)

Here’s how to make this delicious breakfast casserole

First grease a 9×13 baking dish and preheat the oven to 375

In a large bowl whisk together eggs, a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup heavy cream.

Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet and heat over low to medium heat. Add in the eggs and cook until they are mostly cooked but still soft, they will continue to cook in the oven and you don’t want them overcooked. They should still appear very wet but not runny.

In a large skillet brown sausage, crumbling as it cooks until it is cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pan with a slotted spoon leaving the drippings in the pan.

Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the pan and melt over medium high heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and bubbly. Whisk in salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Slowly pour in milk whisking constantly until all milk is added.

Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes or until milk mixture begins to thicken.

Add in cooked sausage and stir to incorporate.

Remove from heat.

To assemble the casserole

Press 8 biscuit dough rounds into the bottom of the pan in a single layer.

Spoon the eggs across the biscuits and spread in an even layer.

Pour the sausage mixture across the eggs and spread out as evenly as possible.

Sprinkle shredded cheese across the gravy evenly.

To top the casserole flatten each biscuit as much as possible and lay flat on the shredded cheese layer. The entire top won’t be covered but try to cover as much as possible.

Melt the last tablespoon of butter and brush melted butter across the tops of the biscuits.

Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake in your preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Uncover and bake another 20 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown and any visible egg mixture is set.

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Serve any leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container.
