How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

Add butter to a hot 10-inch cast-iron skillet. (Note, you do not have to use cast iron, any skillet that is oven-safe is fine.)

Then, add your breakfast sausage and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until sausage is a golden brown and fully done.

Next, stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. Keep cooking until the meat is done.

Gradually stir in the milk and let the mixture come to a boil. Simmer a few more minutes until your gravy is thickened and creamy.

Prepare the Bisquick mix, then drop biscuits by spoonfuls on top of the warm sausage gravy. Bake until biscuits begin to turn golden brown.

Brush biscuits with melted butter and serve immediately.

Can You Freeze Sausage Gravy?

Unfortunately, I’ve found that milk-based gravies like this one do not freeze well, as it tends to separate when thawing.

Ingredients

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 lb. ground breakfast sausage, hot or mild

  3. Stir in the flour, salt and the pepper until combined, continue to cook for a minute or so, continuing to stir so it doesn’t stick.

  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the Bisquick and the milk until a soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls onto the top of the gravy. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the microwave. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter. Serve immediately.
