This 3-ingredient breakfast casserole combines refrigerated homestyle biscuits, flavorful ground sausage, and hot gravy into a fun, crowd-pleasing dish. It is ideal for Sunday brunches, holidays, or any occasion where you need a quick, comforting meal to feed a group.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (regular, spicy, or sage)
- 2 (2.75 oz) packets peppered or white gravy mix (prepared according to package directions using water)
- 1 (16.3 oz) can Pillsbury refrigerated homestyle biscuits (use 2 cans to feed a larger crowd)
Instructions
Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage, break it up with a spatula, and cook until fully browned. Blot away excess grease using paper towels.
Combine Sausage & Gravy: Prepare the two packets of gravy mix according to the package directions. Transfer the cooked sausage into a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the hot gravy directly over it. Stir gently to combine so the biscuits won’t sink to the bottom.
Prep the Biscuits: Open the biscuit can and cut each biscuit into quarters using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Scatter the unbaked biscuit pieces evenly across the top of the sausage-gravy mixture.
Bake: Bake on the center rack at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or more, until the biscuit tops reach a deep golden brown and the bottoms are fully cooked through.
Serve: Let cool slightly before serving alongside breakfast staples like scrambled eggs, hash browns, or fresh fruit.
Helpful Tips
- Adjusting Amounts: Using two packets of gravy mix ensures plenty of sauce to coat the sausage and biscuits. If feeding a larger crowd or hungry teenagers, add a second can of biscuits to cover the top completely.
- Seasoning Boost: Stir a pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, or a dash of cayenne into the gravy for extra warmth and flavor.
- Perfect for Groups: Casserole-style serving lets everyone scoop out their ideal portion—whether they want a full plate or a small tasting size alongside other brunch dishes.
Lazy Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole
Made with just 3 ingredients and a few minutes of your time! This quick and easy breakfast casserole is a breeze to make for Sunday brunch, slumber parties, holidays, or any special occasion when you want to impress your family in the morning with yummy comfort food.
Ingredients
- 1 0.5 2 pound ground pork sausage, any kind
- 2 1 4 2.75 oz packets of gravy mix
- 1–2 0.5–1 2–4 16.3 oz cans refrigerated homestyle biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium-size pan, chop and brown the sausage into crumbles over medium heat. Remove any excess grease by blotting it with a paper towel or strain the grease if desired.
- At the same time, prepare the gravy packets according to the package instructions, usually requiring boiled water and a few minutes of whisking.
- Place the crumbled sausage and hot gravy into your casserole dish and mix well. Mixing the sausage into the gravy helps prevent the biscuits from sinking.
- Open the biscuits and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut them into quarters or bite-size pieces. Arrange the pieces evenly over the gravy mixture.
- Bake on the center rack for 20+ minutes or until the biscuits are deep golden brown.
- Enjoy alone or serve with scrambled eggs, hash browns, fruit, or other breakfast favorites.
Notes
- You can customize the recipe based on how many people you’re feeding. Two packets of gravy mix makes plenty of gravy, so you can use two cans of biscuits when serving a crowd.
- Serve with scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, fruit, orange juice, avocado, or sautéed bell peppers.
- For extra flavor, try spicy pork sausage. You can also add black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, or a little extra salt to the gravy.
