A Cozy Morning: Biscuits and Gravy Casserole for My Family
There’s something special about weekend mornings when the house is quiet, and I get to surprise my family with a comforting breakfast. This time, I decided to make a Biscuits and Gravy Casserole—a dish that brings together all the flavors we love, baked into one hearty pan.
Cooking for Everyone
My husband is a huge fan of classic Southern breakfasts, so I knew he’d love this casserole. It’s loaded with spicy sausage, creamy homemade gravy, fluffy eggs, and plenty of cheddar cheese, all layered with golden biscuits. The aroma alone is enough to get everyone out of bed!
But in our house, breakfast isn’t one-size-fits-all. My daughter isn’t a fan of eggs, so I made sure she wouldn’t miss out. While the casserole baked, I set aside a few biscuits and cooked up extra sausage patties just for her. She got her favorite breakfast—warm biscuits and savory sausage—without the eggs, and everyone was happy.
The Recipe
The casserole itself is simple but so satisfying. Brown some spicy sausage, make a quick roux with butter and flour, then whisk in milk for a rich, peppery gravy. Half the sausage goes into the gravy, and the rest is saved for topping. Whisk eggs with cheese, pour into a baking dish, arrange the biscuits, drizzle with gravy, and sprinkle with more cheese and sausage. Bake until golden and bubbly, then serve with the extra gravy on top.
Making Memories
What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to adapt. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or making breakfast special for your family, you can tweak it to fit everyone’s tastes. For us, it means a cozy meal together—my husband digging into the casserole, my daughter enjoying her biscuits and sausage, and me soaking up the smiles around the table.
If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s both comforting and customizable, give this Biscuits and Gravy Casserole a try. And don’t forget those extra biscuits and sausage patties for the picky eaters in your life!
