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.

Holly says
Can I bake two of these casseroles at one time? Would I need to increase the baking time or do anything else differently?
Julie Evink says
No you can bake them at the same time.
Becky says
Can this be made in the crock pot?
Julie Evink says
Hey Becky! I’m sorry I’ve never tested it in the crock pot.
Elaine Laskowski says
Does it have to sit overnight or can you bake it immediately.
Julie Evink says
I haven’t tried it, I think it would work best overnight, but it would still be good if you did it in the morning!
Dana says
Have you ever doubled the recipe, I need a large amount, like a pasta aluminum pan amount! 19×11
Michelle Sperr says
Hi Dana! I have often played around with this recipe for larger/smaller crowds! You can certainly double the recipe and I think the 19×11 size would be great! Hope it turns out amazing!
Di Lemberger says
This is yummy but I do put the quartered biscuits on top of casserole as they come out much flakier and browned. Thanks for sharing!
Michelle Sperr says
What a great suggestions Di, thank you for sharing!
Nancy says
If you place the biscuit pieces on top, do you add them in the morning or the night before? Will they brown more quickly shortening the bake time? I definitely like the idea of biscuits on top!
Julie Evink says
I would just cover with foil if you notice they start to brown to much. I think they might sink if you put them on the night before!
Kevin Cronin says
Good taste, I would recommend cooking the biscuits prior. they were a little doughy…
Julie says
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kelli says
This was absolutely delicious!! Huge hit with my family! Even my picky youngest child loved it! It will definitely be on my morning breakfast best list! Thanks for recipe!!
Julie says
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Bobbie says
I’m making this tonight.
Does it make enough gravy? Or how would I increase the amount of gravy?
Julie says
You could double the gravy portion of the recipe but I haven’t tested this so I don’t know if that will cause it to bubble over when baking!
Kathy Rusell says
Can you add a layer of shredded has browns and do you cook the sausage before you add it.
Julie says
Yes, cook the sausage before you add it to the casserole. You could add hash browns, I would recommend refrigerated/thawed hash browns. It may add to the cooking time.
Kathy Rusell says
Do you cook the sausage before you put it together.
Julie says
Yes
Summer Amenta says
This is one of my favorite recipes! I make it every year for Christmas. My son is now allergic to ingredients in many of the store bought biscuit dough. Do you think it would work with homemade biscuit dough?
Julie says
I haven’t tried this one with anything but homemade biscuit dough but it would definitely be worth a try! If you give it a shot, let me know how it goes!
Linda says
Have you tried this recipe with the Pillsberry Grands frozen buttermilk biscuits?
Julie says
I haven’t with the buttermilk biscuits but any type of Grands biscuits will work, I’m sure it will be delicious!
Shana says
I was wondering if you happened to try the recipe with the Pillsbury frozen biscuits? If so, how did it turn out?
Mary says
can I put the gravy on the night before too? I love your recipes and advise!!!!
Julie says
I haven’t tried that, I don’t know if it’ll cause the biscuits to get soggy or not. If you try it let me know how it goes!
Sara says
Question… can I make this up and freeze it before cooking? I want to be able to make this a freezer meal to thaw in the fridge overnight and cook in the morning.
FYI, I have been using precooked turkey sausage and premade gravy, so this is almost 100% a dump and stir. I also use reduced fat cheese and fairlife milk to make this as healthy as I can.. I have been searching for this recipe for decades. Thanks so much for sharing, it is now our ONLY go to breakfast casserole. We have made it almost every week for months. There are only 2 of us, so this casserole feeds us for the whole week, if I can restrain my portions.
And my tip, I always add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to my eggs, but NOT this one. Made the casserole wet and take forever to cook.
Julie says
I’m glad you love it! I haven’t tried freezing this one, I’m not sure how the biscuits will hold up after being frozen but you could certainly give it a shot. Let me know how it goes if you do!
Danelle says
My kids love this! I cut into individual servings and freeze them in baggies for quick grab and go breakfasts during the school year.
Julie says
Great idea! Thanks for sharing Danelle, I’m glad you and your family enjoyed it!
Laura Mae says
How do. You re-heat it?Laura Mae
Michelle Sperr says
Hi Laura! I re-heat the leftovers in the microwave for a quick and easy breakfast or lunch!
