Biscuit and Gravy Casserole Ingredients
- Biscuits – I used refrigerator biscuits, but homemade would also be delicious!
- Milk – for the gravy base
- 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.
How to Make Biscuit and Gravy Breakfast Bombs
SAUSAGE GRAVY
- In a large skillet cook the sausage.
- Add in flour, stir to coat the sausage and cook for about 2 minutes. Add in milk bouillon and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
ASSEMBLE biscuit bombs
- Roll the biscuits into a small circle, then fill with about 1/4 cup gravy. Pinch up to middle to seal and place seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining biscuits.
- Place filled biscuits onto a baking sheet and bake according to biscuit packaging.
MAKE AHEAD VERSION
- VERSION 1: make them completely as directed, store in the refrigerator or freezer and warm them up in the morning
- VERSION 2: make them up the night before and pop them in the fridge before baking, bake according to package in the morning.
How to Reheat
My favorite way to reheat these is to just warm them back up in the oven! Bake for 5-7 minutes at 350 and you will have a biscuit bomb that tastes like you just baked it up! However, if you are in a hurry simply heat them completely in the microwave, then place onto a baking sheet. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely! Nothing is worse than walking away and coming back to burnt breakfast bombs (trust me, been there!).
Customization ideas:
- Add chopped vegetables to the sausage, such as onions, peppers, or mushrooms.
- Add cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper jack to the filling.
- Add scrambled eggs to the filling!
- Drizzle with hot sauce for a spicy kick.
These sausage gravy biscuit bombs are so delicious! They are easy to prepare, incredibly delicious, and sure to become a family favorite. So go ahead, give it a try and start your day off right!

Delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Just curious if you could freeze them and take them on a camping trip thaw the night before and cook over a campfire in foil?
I haven’t personally tried that, but I would think it would work great!
These sound very much like the Runzas (of Nebraska) or Bierocks — should be delicious.
Oh yes! Very similar!
