• 1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
   Makes the gravy and eggs extra rich and velvety without needing heavy cream.

   Provide structure and protein, creating a fluffy middle layer that holds everything together.

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
   Simple seasonings that let the other ingredients shine.

How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

1. Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish generously to prevent sticking.

2. Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease.

3. Make the Gravy

Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle in 2 packets of gravy mix, then stir in 1 cup of evaporated milk and 1 cup of water. Simmer and stir until the mixture thickens to a gravy-like consistency.

4. Prepare the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, 5 oz. evaporated milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly scramble the eggs in a skillet just until they’re set but still soft.

5. Layer the Casserole

Start layering in your greased dish:

• Spread ⅓ of the sausage gravy on the bottom.

• Add ½ of the scrambled eggs.

• Repeat with another ⅓ of the gravy and the remaining eggs.

• Top with the final layer of gravy.

6. Add the Biscuits

Place the refrigerated biscuits evenly on top of the layered casserole.

7. Bake

Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow layers to set.

Pro Tips for Perfect Results

• Don’t overcook the eggs—they’ll continue cooking in the oven.

• Use a deep casserole dish to avoid overflow.

• Let the gravy thicken slightly before layering—it keeps the dish from being too runny.

• For crispier biscuits, brush them with a bit of melted butter before baking.

• Add cheese between layers for extra indulgence (sharp cheddar works great!).

Variations to Try

• Cheesy Version: Sprinkle shredded cheese between the egg and gravy layers.

• Spicy Kick: Use hot sausage and add a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper.

Storage & Reheating Tips

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
