FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

What sausage gravy should I use?

I used Libby’s cans of sausage gravy, but you can use whatever brand you prefer or make your favorite homemade sausage gravy recipe and use that in place of canned.

Can I skip the cooling period?

While I want to dig in just as much as you do, I do recommend you wait at least 10 minutes to let the eggs finish setting and the rest of the casserole to finish setting up too.

How can I bring some spiciness to this dish?

It’s super easy to bring some extra flavor to this dish. Try adding some red chili flakes, cayenne, or your favorite hot sauce to the eggs or gravy to help bring a pop of heat.

Can I make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole ahead of time?

You can make this ahead of time. Prepare the casserole up to the baking step in set 6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap then place in the fridge until you are ready to bake (up to one night before you need to make it.) When ready remove the plastic and bake as directed. You may need to extend the baking time slightly or just let it sit at room temperature until the chill from the fridge is gone. Either way, keep an eye on the dish as it bakes to be sure you don’t overbake. 

What kind of biscuits should I use?

Use whatever refrigerated biscuits your family enjoys. Just make sure it’s 16 ounces of biscuits. I used Pillsbury’s Southern Buttermilk canned biscuits.

What other cheeses can be used in a breakfast casserole?

Try sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella, smoked gouda, swiss, gruyere, colby jack, or pepper jack instead.

How to store leftovers?

Once your leftovers have cooled down, move them to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
