Yes, you can prepare the casserole up to the point of baking and store it in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking as directed.

Top Tips
- Choose the right biscuits: Flaky, buttery biscuits will add richness to your casserole. You can use store-bought biscuits or make them from scratch if you prefer.
- Precook the meat: Cook and crumble the sausage or bacon before adding it to the casserole. This helps ensure that the meat is fully cooked and adds a delicious savory flavor to the dish.
- Make it ahead: This casserole can be assembled the night before and refrigerated overnight. In the morning, simply bake it as directed for a hassle-free breakfast.
- Season well: Don't forget to season each layer with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will enhance the overall flavor of the casserole.
- Make your own country gravy. I always make my own, other than this casserole, which I'm using the package gravy for faster preparation.
- Let it rest: After baking the casserole, allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and allows the casserole to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
- If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
How to make Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Casserole

- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any grease from the sausage, reserve ½ cup of sausage for the top. Set aside.
- Cut each biscuit into 8-10 pieces. Spread them into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.
- Layer all but reserved sausage over the biscuit pieces.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top of sausage.
- Whisk eggs, onion powder, and milk, pour evenly over the layers. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
- Make gravy according to package instructions and pour evenly on top of the egg layer.
