Q1: Can I make this casserole the night before?

Yes, you can fully assemble the casserole the night before. Cover and refrigerate it, then bake the next morning. Be sure to add 15–20 minutes to the baking time and check that the eggs are fully set.

Q2: What type of sausage works best for this recipe?

Mild pork sausage is classic, but you can use hot, maple, or turkey sausage for variation. Some people even add chopped bacon for extra flavor.

Q3: Can I use homemade gravy instead of a mix?

Absolutely. While a peppered gravy mix saves time, homemade sausage or white gravy works great. Just ensure it's not too thick before pouring it over the casserole.

Q4: How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Let the casserole cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave on 50% power or in a 300°F oven until warmed through

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish.
Brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease.
Cut biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces and spread evenly in the prepared dish.
Layer the cooked sausage over the biscuits, followed by shredded cheese.
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the layered ingredients.
Prepare the gravy according to package directions, then pour it over the casserole.
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and eggs are set. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.

Notes

Assemble the night before and refrigerate—add 15–20 minutes to baking time when cold.
Cover with foil during baking if the top browns too quickly.
Double the gravy if you like it extra saucy or want some on the side.
You can substitute crescent rolls or use bacon instead of sausage.
