Description
This biscuits and gravy casserole is a hearty, comforting dish perfect for breakfast or brunch. It’s easy to make, pork-free, and packed with flavor. Fluffy biscuits and creamy gravy come together in one delicious bake.
Ingredients
-
Refrigerated biscuit dough: The shortcut hero! It makes this dish quick, easy, and perfectly fluffy.
-
Butter: Adds richness and helps create a smooth roux for the gravy.
-
All-purpose flour: Thickens the gravy, giving it that creamy, dreamy texture.
-
Milk (whole or 2%): Brings creaminess and balances the flavors in the gravy.
-
Turkey sausage or plant-based sausage: A savory, pork-free alternative that adds delicious flavor.
-
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder: Essential seasonings to make the gravy flavorful and irresistible.
-
Fresh parsley (optional): A pop of color and freshness to garnish your casserole.
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F. This ensures your casserole bakes evenly.
-
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. It’s the base for your creamy gravy.
-
Whisk in flour to create a roux. This step thickens the gravy and gives it a smooth texture.
-
Gradually pour in milk while stirring constantly. This prevents lumps and ensures a creamy consistency.
-
Add sausage alternative and seasonings. Cook until the gravy thickens and becomes flavorful.
-
Cut the biscuit dough into quarters. This makes them easier to layer and bake evenly.
-
Layer the biscuit pieces in a greased baking dish. Spread them out for even coverage.
-
Pour the gravy evenly over the biscuits. Make sure every piece gets coated for maximum flavor.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly. The biscuits will rise, and the gravy will thicken further.
-
Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the casserole set and makes it easier to slice.
Notes
Serving
This biscuits and gravy casserole serves 8-10 people. Serve it hot, straight from the oven. Pair it with scrambled eggs or fresh fruit for a complete meal. For a fun twist, add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top before baking. It’s perfect for brunch gatherings or cozy family breakfasts.
Tips and Hacks
To avoid soggy biscuits, don’t overpour the gravy. Also, use refrigerated biscuits for consistent texture. For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the gravy. If you’re short on time, prepare the gravy ahead and assemble the casserole just before baking. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
