Egg Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
Breakfast on the weekend is a big deal in our house. It’s the time we gather around the table with nowhere to rush off too. Breakfast is the time that there are no homework deadlines, bedtime isn’t quickly approaching, and everyone is in a good mood…after mom and dad have their cup of coffee, of course ;). Sunday breakfasts are made to share with family and friends. Sunday morning is when we have our neighbors and their kids over and we all have breakfast together. It’s the one day a week that we can all enjoy each others company and catch up on life. I love creating a new breakfast for us adults, while the kids are insistent on pancakes 😉
Since Sunday morning breakfast starts at 9:00 a.m., I like prepping the night before, the easier the morning is, the better! We have been doing this for awhile now, so I sometimes have a hard time coming up with new ideas for breakfast, so when my son asked me why I never make biscuits and gravy, I decided it was about time. Biscuits and gravy has been a favorite of my whole family’s for as long as I can remember, so I honestly have no idea why I haven’t made it before. I would guess that I always assumed that making biscuits and gravy was complicated, but I am here to tell you, it’s not.
You only a few ingredients needed for the sausage gravy. I used the hot breakfast sausage, feel free to use the variety your family will enjoy best.
The sausage gravy for this breakfast casserole is easy to make, in fact, it is ready in about 10 minutes.
The egg mixture for this delicious biscuits and gravy casserole is also simple, only needing a few main ingredients.
You will quarter the refrigerated biscuits while your sausage is browning, or after even. I recommend doing this with a pizza cutter, but scissors would work too.
Once everything is prepped, you start the layering process. First, layer the quartered biscuits.
Next, pour the egg mixture and the sausage gravy.
How did I manage to make this into an Overnight Bake? I layered all the deliciousness into a casserole dish, covered it, and tossed it in the refrigerator, then baked it in the morning. Make ahead breakfasts make mornings so much easier 🙂
You can easily make this Egg, Biscuits and Gravy Casserole the morning of as well, I have done it that way too.

I hope you enjoy this Egg Biscuit and Gravy Overnight Bake as much as we do!
Since this breakfast casserole can be made the night before, it is an excellent option for the holidays! In fact, my kids have already requested it for Christmas morning.
I used DairyPure Milk in this breakfast recipe (and serve it to my family) because it is the only milk backed by an exclusive Five-Point Purity Promise, which ensures that DairyPure Milk contains no artificial growth hormones*, is tested for antibiotics, is continually quality tested to ensure purity, only comes from cows fed a healthy diet and is cold shipped from your trusted dairy. So, it’s a brand that I can feel good about giving my family and friends. And that’s important to me.
I used the 2% reduced fat variety in my recipe, but it is also available in whole, 1% low-fat and skim/fat-free milks. You can find all varieties in the dairy case at grocery stores nationwide. I picked mine up at my local Winn-Dixie, but they also carry it at my local Target and Publix.

Do you drain the grease from the sausage before you ad the flour?
No, I didn’t, I figured it would add extra flavor…and there actually wasn’t that much grease.
I leave the grease in it also and in a lot of recipes I’ve found leaving the grease in is a plus and no one even notices.
I can’t wait to make this Breakfast Casserole! My daughter & my favorite meal of the day too.
The Egg, Biscuits and Gravy Overnight Bake looks amazing!
Looking for a great holiday breakfast! Just found it …thanks looks delicious
Yummy!! This overnight breakfast bake sounds absolutely delicious!! I love easy breakfasts like this, without sacrificing the heartiness or flavor! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing, I am definitely making one tonight to have tomorrow!
This recipe looks so yummy. I don’t eat breakfast so this would be great for brunch. Love gravy and biscuits and adding egg is a plus. My family will love this and will definitely make it.
I love biscuits and gravy so this is perfect because it makes stuff easy.
I also cook and crumble half a pound of bacon on the egg mixture. Just gives it that added flavor of bacon and sausage together . This is a great recipe . Very versatile as to what all you could put in the egg mixture to change things up- onions, peppers, broccoli, mushroom, etc.
I love the idea of adding bacon (and some extra veggies)! Thank you Vicky!
