Biscuit and Gravy Casserole Ingredients
- Biscuits - I used refrigerator biscuits, but homemade would also be delicious!
- Eggs and Milk - serves as the binding agent for the entire casserole
- Cheese - I used shredded cheddar, but others would be just as yummy!
- Sausage - I use bulk breakfast sausage
- Flour - helps to thicken the gravy
- Bouillon - I love to add a scoop of Roasted Chicken Better than Bouillon to my gravy. It helps to add such great flavor to your gravy! I swear this is my secret to making the best homemade gravy.

Can you clarify what flavor of bouillon to use
Absolutely! I'm updating the blog post right now also! But I used the chicken better than bouillon.
My daughter made this and we all thought we had died & gone to heaven. Clean plates all around. I can’t figure out why it is so good!
It's the homemade gravy! Seriously makes everything better. So so glad that you all enjoyed it!
Making this tonight had to read the recipe a few times cause u didn't clarify to scramble the eggs before assembling casserole thank u for the recipe
Sorry for the confusion in my wording. You did not need to cook the eggs before assembling. Pour the egg and milk mixture directly over the biscuits.
Can we use Mary B's frozen biscuits? If so, what would you suggest? They typically bake up in 10-12 minutes completely frozen.
While I haven't tested with this specific brand, I would assume that they would work since the bake time is similar to other premade biscuits.
