How to Make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray (or coat with butter). Set aside.
- Over medium heat, add the sausage to a large pan or skillet and cook until browned and cooked through.
- Add in the flour, butter, pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Now gradually whisk in the milk a little at a time.
- Continue to whisk, allowing the gravy to thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
- Arrange the biscuit pieces in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the gravy mixture over the biscuits.
- Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits start to poke out of the top and turn a light golden color.
- Serve biscuits and gravy casserole with a garnish of freshly minced parsley and enjoy!
