Crockpot Biscuits and Gravy Casserole is a slow cooked combination of grands biscuits with country sausage gravy for an amazing breakfast casserole that isn't egg based. My family loves biscuits and gravy. Hands down it is our favorite breakfast dish. With our crazy, erratic schedules, it can be hard to have this ready for everyone's different schedules. So, this weekend I just combined my favorite sausage gravy recipe with some refrigerator biscuits for this crock pot biscuits and gravy casserole recipe.
Crock Pot breakfast casseroles area a must when you are feeding a lot of people or need to fix it and forget it. This is not the only breakfast casserole recipe I make with biscuits in the crock pot. I also make a killer crock pot monkey bread and crock pot cinnamon roll monkey bread.
Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Ingredients
To make this biscuits and gravy casserole, you will need the following ingredients:
- Breakfast Sausage - Ground Pork and Seasoning work too. Jimmy Dean's Breakfast sausage is the perfect option.
- Grands Biscuits - The large refrigerator biscuits are the best here. The smaller kind will work too. But the refrigerator biscuits are a must.
- Butter - Fat is flavor and sausage gravy needs butter.
- Flour - Thicken that sausage with flour.
- Milk - White gravy is made with milk. No different with this sausage gravy recipe.
How to make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
This recipe has two components to success: biscuit pieces and sausage gravy. Let's start with the biscuits. I cook the biscuits in the crock pot as I make the sausage gravy. All you need is one can of the regular-sized large Southern style biscuits. There will be eight biscuits in the can—quarter six of the biscuits and put on the bottom of a casserole crock pot.
Cook on high while you prepare your sausage gravy. Keep the two remaining biscuits for the top of crock pot biscuits and gravy recipe.
How to Make Sausage Gravy
The sausage gravy recipe is my homemade country gravy recipe. I also use for traditional biscuits and gravy recipe. I use one pound of ground pork and add breakfast sausage seasoning for the sausage gravy recipe. This is because we have a freezer full of pork from butchering our 4-H pigs.
You can feel free to just buy a pound of breakfast sausage already seasoned at the store. You will find several great options for the sausage in the meat and cheese area of the grocery store. But just in case you want to also buy fresh ground pork and add your own breakfast sausage seasoning, I use Penzey's version.
Continue to brown the sausage till completely cooked and then add another two tablespoons of butter. Do not drain the fat created from cooking the sausage either. Once the butter is completely melted, stir in flour till completely absorbed into the fat and meat, and let it fry one more minute before adding the milk. Slowly keep adding the milk to the sausge and stir constantly.
Let the gravy bubble for one minute once all the milk is completely incorporated. At this point, you are ready to add the gravy to the crock pot over the biscuits. You are on the way to a delicious biscuits and gravy casserole.
For this casserole a runnier gravy is better, so this should pour very easily. Be sure to move the gravy pan around the entire crock pot to get the gravy completely spread out.
Top the gravy with the two remaining biscuits. I actually cut the biscuits into eight pieces for the top instead of just four pieces like I did on the bottom. Cook this biscuits and gravy casserole on high for 2 hours and then move the temperature setting to warm.
Tips for Making Breakfast Casseroles in the Crock Pot
- A couple of times to get the condensation off the lid. This isn't necessary, but it helped my biscuits cook to a harder doneness rather than a gooey to touch doneness.
- Casserole crock pots work the best for this but you can use a traditional crock pot. The cook time may vary since the casserole will be thicker.
You will want to dig right into this casserole if you are a biscuit and gravy lover like my family is.

How would this Biscuits turn out if you covered the top of the crockpot with a towel or paper towels while cooking?
