One of the keys to making a good Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is to use high-quality ingredients. I like to use a good quality sausage that has a nice balance of spices and seasonings. The gravy is also very important, as it brings all the flavors together. I always make sure to use a gravy mix that has a rich and creamy texture and a good depth of flavor.
When I make this casserole, I always start by preheating the oven and greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish. Then, I line the bottom of the dish with biscuits. I cook the sausage in a large skillet until it’s browned and crumbly, and then I spread it over the biscuits. I then whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper and pour it over the cheese layer. I mix the water and gravy mix in a saucepan and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until it’s thickened. I pour the gravy over the egg layer and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Finally, I bake the casserole in the oven until the eggs are fluffy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The result is a warm and comforting dish that is perfect for any time of day. The combination of the flaky biscuits, savory sausage, and rich gravy is just unbeatable.
In conclusion, Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is a dish that brings back so many happy memories for me and it’s a staple in my household. It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that is perfect for those lazy weekend mornings or when you have a big crowd to feed. So, give it a try and see why this dish has been a family favorite for generations.
