How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray (or coat with butter). Set aside.
  2. Over medium heat, add the sausage to a large pan or skillet and cook until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add in the flour, butter, pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Now gradually whisk in the milk a little at a time.
  4. Continue to whisk, allowing the gravy to thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
  5. Arrange the biscuit pieces in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the gravy mixture over the biscuits.
  6. Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits start to poke out of the top and turn a light golden color.
  7. Serve biscuits and gravy casserole with a garnish of freshly minced parsley and enjoy!
