Name: Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Recipe
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 55 min
Total time: 1 h 10 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 20 ounces baby yellow potatoes; 1 teaspoon olive oil; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided); 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper (divided); 1 pound breakfast sausage; 1/4 cup flour; 3 cups whole milk; 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided); 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper (divided); 16 ounces refrigerated biscuits

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2: Dice the baby yellow potatoes into small pieces, cutting into quarters or eighths depending on their size.

Step 3: Place the diced potatoes in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and half of the salt and pepper. Stir to coat evenly.

Step 4: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time.

Step 5: About 15 minutes before the potatoes finish roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Brown the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks until fully cooked.

Step 6: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7: Gradually add the whole milk along with the remaining salt and pepper, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy for about 6 minutes or until it thickens slightly. The gravy should remain a bit thinner than usual as it will thicken further in the oven.

Step 8: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and give them a good stir. Pour the prepared sausage gravy evenly over the potatoes.

Step 9: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into four pieces. Scatter the biscuit pieces evenly over the gravy-topped potatoes.

Step 10: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Tips & Variations

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the potato seasoning or sausage gravy.

Use your favorite breakfast sausage flavor, such as sage or maple, to customize the taste.

Swap whole milk for half-and-half for a richer, creamier gravy.

If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and biscuits in place of the regular ones.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warm or reheat the entire casserole in a 350-degree oven until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. For best texture, avoid freezing as the biscuit topping may become dense after thawing.

FAQs

Can I use frozen biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?

Yes, frozen biscuits can be used but allow them to thaw before cutting and topping the casserole to ensure even baking and proper texture.

Is this casserole suitable for meal prep or make-ahead?

This casserole can be assembled a few hours ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator before baking. However, it’s best served fresh out of the oven for the best flavor and texture.
