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!
