Biscuit and Gravy Casserole

My husband is a huge fan of Biscuits and Gravy so when I got the idea for a Biscuit and Gravy Casserole from Pinterest I knew I had to create my version of the dish for Ashton. I used my cream cheese sausage gravy recipe and experimented with crescent and biscuit dough. The Pinterest recipe called for crescent roll dough on the bottom and top, however my husband and I both prefer flaky biscuits on top instead. So my version has a crescent bottom crust and a flaky butter biscuit top.

No matter how you top off this casserole it is peppery, creamy, and a Southern breakfast favorite!
Updated: If you prefer to make your own biscuits try my 7UP Biscuit Recipe!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
Grease a 9X13 baking dish, then spread out flat sheet of crescent roll.
Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside. 
Using a large, deep skillet cook crumbled sausage over medium heat until browned. 
Drain all grease except about 1 tsp. and add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 
You don’t need to add butter or oil to the pan when cooking the
sausage and onions, especially in a cast iron pan. The grease will give
you flavor and keep the onions from sticking to the pan. But make sure
you drain all but about 1 tsp of grease so it won’t be too greasy!
 
 
Meanwhile, in a large sauce pot heat milk over medium low heat and whisk in flour. 
Cook and constantly stir for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. 
Then add cream cheese and stir until melted and well combined. 
Add salt and pepper to taste. 
Pour sausage mixture into gravy and mix well.
 
Make sure to constantly stir the milk and flour until thickened. Using a whisk be sure not to burn the milk. When adding pepper, it is according to taste. The cream cheese adds a sweet note so the pepper and sage sausage give it the kick the gravy needs!
 
 
 
 Pour sausage gravy onto the crescent sheet and spread to cover.
I thought the Grands Jr Buttery Golden Layers were the 
perfect flaky, crunchy topping for this casserole!
 
 
Spread the biscuits out on top.

You can also use bigger biscuits, an 8 pack, but you will need to bake for a couple more minutes to cook through.
 
 
 
 
 Bake for 20-22 minutes at 350 degrees until biscuits are golden brown on top.
 
 

Hot out of the oven!

We had this casserole for Sunday breakfast last week. 

 
It definitely fills you up and we were ready for a nap afterwards! 
You can also just make this gravy recipe and use to top biscuits, cornbread, or potatoes!

    I made this today for brunch. It was very good, although next time I would bake the crescent roll bottom for a few minutes prior to adding the gravy mixture. Overall it was a very filling meal!

    Found you through Pinterest, and made it for dinner tonight… I know you say to add the pepper to taste, but I do believe in the recipe you mean tsp. and not tbs… I did use crescent rolls for the top because we had no biscuits, and we really enjoyed it.

      So glad you enjoyed it. The pepper measurement was off. Sorry about that! I adjusted it in the ingredients above.

    Oh sweet baby Jesus that was way too much pepper. Whole dish was ruined. Besides that it was great! #deathbypepper I sure hope it was supposed to read tsp because that would be SO much better. Never doing that again lol

    I'm going to make this next week-end for brunch. I don't understand why there needs to be a bottom crust. Seems like more fat and 'stuff' to me. I will follow your recipe for the sausage gravy because it sounds good and creamy, omit the bottom crust, and I will make my own biscuits and drop them onto the sausage gravy.

    Can you make this a day ahead, or does it get too soggy?

      You can make the gravy ahead of time but reheating the biscuits makes them a little tough. However, if you make the bottom crescent layer and gravy the day before and then just bake the biscuits on top the day of as you reheat the gravy that would work!

    I made this tonight because when I saw this recipe a week ago, it was all I could think about! However, I found the sauce to taste too rich and cream cheese tasting. My husband and I couldn't tolerate it very well. I'd be willing to try this again, but I'll have to look up alternative ways to make the gravy without cream cheese.

      Hi: You could use the smaller amount of cream cheese, 3 or 4 oz bar and that might help. Also I don't know why you couldn't just make your own version of sausage gravy, leave out the cream cheese and make it like that. I would tend to make my gravy a bit thicker for this. My son loves sausage gravy so I definitely will be trying this for him minus the cream cheese.

      I also thought it was too much cream cheese…Not quite what I was expecting. If and when I make it again, I will do some changes/

    Can I put it all together day before and put biscuits on top in the morning then bake? And from fridge to oven would it still take 20-25 min?

    We made it today and it was really tasty but seemed like it was all bread so we will either omit the crust next time or make the gravy and bisquits seperately and eat it the traditional bisquit and gravy way. Might even double the gravy recipe! Thanks! Oh, and I probably put a tbsp of pepper in it and we loved it.

    I love this recipe and use it all the time. I ALWAYS omit the crescent rolls on the bottom. In my opinion they are really not needed and the casserole works just fine without them. 🙂

    Cresent roll dough was not done. Maybe next time I'll put dish on bottom rack and closer to bottom coil. Otherwise it was delicious.
