This is my second time making this casserole! The youngest helps prepare and named it ‘Casen biscuits’. Super easy & makes plenty for my family of four!

Is this recipe freezer friendly? If so, do you freeze it before or after baking it?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hi Brooke! I'll be honest, I have not tried freezing this at all so I couldn't tell you definitely but my best guess would be to freeze it after it has cooked and cooled.

Made this recipe and it was DELICIOUS. Only difference was I used the honey biscuits instead of the buttermilk and it was AWESOME! It was gone before I even got to eat any myself! Absolutely recommend to everyone!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Woo hoo! That is awesome Justin! Thanks so much!

Hi! I made this with a few tweaks (turkey sausage, pepper jack cheese), and it turned out really well! I saw some folks recommend making the gravy on the side. Next time, I think I'll do both... gravy in the mix and some gravy on the side. 🙂 Yes, 2 cups of water seemed like a lot, since the 2.75 oz Pioneer gravy packet asked for only like 1/2 a cup, but you're baking it long enough that the water bakes off or gets absorbed eventually. I got two thumbs up from my family. Thanks for posting this!
For folks who add hashbrowns, at what stage do you add them? We made some on the side. 🙂
Thanks again!

The Pioneer Gravy mix has 1/2 cup for mixing with the powder and then another 1.5 cups of boiling water in the pot so it take a total of 2 cups of water to make the gravy.

LOVE this recipe Brandie! It’s been a hit with guests at our B&B. I’m always looking for new recipe ideas to share with family and guests and this one seems to be a WINNER! It also is an excellent way to use up any leftover meats, cheeses and vegetables. It’s a very flexible recipe so the skies the limit! Thanks again for sharing this.
