Make our family’s favorite make-ahead Sausage Egg Biscuit Gravy casserole we have every Christmas morning for breakfast! Just pop it in the oven and enjoy! For more recipes like this see my Breakfast page.
Every Christmas Eve we make this drool-worthy casserole and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Then on Christmas morning, we pop it in the oven while we are opening presents and by the time we are finished, it’s ready to enjoy!
If you are a fan of the southern dish of biscuits and gravy then this is your casserole! We make the gravy from scratch with flour and the grease leftover from the sausage. But you can also make it with a powdered gravy mix and it tastes just as great!

Sausage Egg Biscuit Gravy Casserole
Yes, it’s not the prettiest casserole, but it tastes oh so good!
Tips for preparing for making this biscuit and egg casserole:
We use Jimmy Dean’s sausage and Pillsbury’s canned Homestyle Grand Biscuits but you can use any brand you prefer.
You can also make your own biscuits instead of premade can versions.
If you are not a fan of sausage, you can use bacon or leave the meat out altogether and it still takes great! I mean biscuits, eggs, and gravy are pretty good on their own.

One of my favorite recipes I just change a couple things. I don’t remove my sausage from the grease instead I make a sausage gravy with the ground sausage in it. Then I make a pack of bacon and roughly chop it and that takes place of the separated ground sausage in the original recipe. 10/10 and a huge hit for holidays at our house.
