Ingredients for Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

• Pork Sausage: Mild or spicy sausage adds hearty flavor.
• Butter: Enhances the richness of the gravy and combines with the flour to thicken it.
• All-Purpose Flour: Helps thicken the gravy. Stick with all-purpose for this casserole recipe.
• Herbs: Italian seasoning and rubbed sage are my two favorites for this sausage gravy. Use your family’s favorite dried herbs.
• Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika add tons of flavor in no time!
• Half and Half: Creates a creamy, smooth gravy. Heavy cream is a little too thick for this gravy but you could use a combo of equal parts heavy cream and whole milk to create your own half and half at home.
• Refrigerated Biscuits: A quick and easy shortcut for a flaky biscuit topping. I like buttermilk or southern homestyle.

How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Cook the Sausage: Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, crumbling with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.

Make the Gravy: Add butter to the pan and let it melt. Sprinkle in flour, Italian seasoning, rubbed sage, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for about a minute.

Slowly whisk in half and half, bringing it to a simmer. Simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.

Assemble the Casserole: Pour the sausage gravy into the greased 9×13 pan. Use kitchen shears to cut the biscuits into quarters and place them in a single layer on top of the gravy.

Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Tips for Making Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
