Biscuits and Gravy Overnight Breakfast Casserole ~ Comforting, Hearty Breakfast Casserole That is Prepared the Night Before and Baked in the Morning! Biscuits Loaded with Gravy, Sausage, Eggs and Cheese!
Hey Everyone! It’s Rachel over here at Some Oven Lovin’. Today I’m sharing a family favorite recipe in our house and it will be a winner in your house too! We couldn’t get enough of this delicious egg bake! Some other favorites are Ham & Cheese Overnight Breakfast Lasagna, Sausage & Cheese Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole, Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole and Crock Pot Tater Tot Egg Bake.
Let me tell you.. I love my egg bakes. Always have, always will. But… this one?! This one tops the charts. It combines all things delicious about an egg bake but then add the gravy in and voila! It’s happiness all around.
And.. quite possibly the best part is that you can make this up the day before. You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you remember that you made egg casserole the day before and it’s just waiting to be put in the oven. Those are the best days. And, your best day awaits, my friend!
What are you waiting for?! If you’re like me and always have some Grands biscuits on hand, you most likely have the rest of the ingredients too. Go mix this up! Your family will thank you tomorrow. This I am positive about.

This is great. I have even changed it up a bit by using Maple Sausage and Honey Grands biscuits. A big hit! I also double the gravy recipe!
All great changes, glad you love it!
Can I leave two days in the fridge before I cook? 😬
Or freeze, then cook ?
Having lots of family members stay for a weekend, trying to get food prep done ahead of time.
Would love to know if it could be a freezer meal too for pregnancy/new baby b
It’ll be best if it’s just left overnight but yes, I think you could leave it two days. I’m not sure how this would do as a freezer meal, the biscuits might not hold up well.
Delicious!!! Made it exactly like your recipe and was a huge hit!!!
Perfect! So glad you loved it!
Made this today. I had a little bit of frozen diced potatoes I needed to use up. I sprinkled them around the biscuits before adding sausage. I also had beef broth to use up. Used that instead of milk. Was a huge hit!
Perfect! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I made this for a breakfast potluck at work and it was A HIT!! I did make a few adjustments: I used Brown and serve sausages, which I sliced and fried to be a little crispy. And instead of making the gravy recipe, I bought two packages of county gravy mix (one regular, one peppered; each made two cups of gravy). It was delicious!! I also used 9 or 10 eggs with the same amount of milk. Next time, I think I would only add see of the gravy to start, then add the rest once the eggs are close to being done.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know your twist on it!
How many quests would this feed?
This recipe makes 8 servings.
Could this be made in the Crock-Pot? If so how?
I’m also curious about cooking this in the crock pot. Did you try it?
I’m so thankful to find your recipe! I work professionally (not in the culinary world), and we are having an early morning pitch-in breakfast in two weeks. I signed up to bring something “savory.” I’m really hoping this hits the mark and I’m so thankful all it will require is baking that morning. Yay!! I’ll post a review after I’ve made it. ?
Hope you love it!
My family and I love this recipe! We have had it multiple times. I have made it as an over night and same morning casserole. only had an issue with it taking forever to cook once and realized I used way too much milk, my fault. It is always a hit when we bring it to family/friend gatherings! I always allow my casserole to sit out of the fridge while preheating the oven so the glass dish will get a little closer to room temp before going into the oven.
Great tips! So glad you are enjoying it!
I made this for s breakfast event-GONE! Several requests for the recipe. So I’m passing it forward!!
Thanks for sharing it Donnell 🙂
Yummy! I used a roll of Dollar store biscuits and made a smaller batch for just the 2 of us.
I cheated and used a pouch of country gravy but will make it from scratch next time. Great recipe!
So glad you made it work for you Susan!
Does it matter whether the biscuits are the flaky layers or the original kind?
I mean, flaky layers or homestyle buttermilk.
Either will work be we prefer the flaky layers!
Can I make this recipe without leaving it to sit overnight?
Yes you can!
Too bad, I’ve made this recipe many times to great success. Sometimes if I don’t let it sit out of the fridge to get closer to room temperature it does take longer in the oven. Ovens can have slightly different temperatures, as well.
Great tips! Glad you have enjoyed this recipe!
This casserole was awful! It took about twice as long as the recipe said to bake, and it’s just not very good. I’ve tried to make it twice with disastrous results two Christmases in a row. Never again!
