How long can I assemble the casserole ahead of time?

You can put your Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole together the night before and bake it the next morning. For best texture, let it sit for 20 minutes at room temperature before baking, or add about 5–10 more minutes to the cook time if you bake straight from the fridge.

Can I use homemade biscuits instead of the refrigerated kind?

Absolutely. Using homemade biscuit dough adds a fresh-baked feel to the dish. Just make sure your biscuits are rolled and cut rather than drop-style, so they bake evenly in the casserole.

What if the sausage gravy becomes too thick before baking?

If your gravy gets too dense, stir in a splash of milk (about a tablespoon at a time) until it loosens up. You want a pourable consistency so it seeps into the biscuit layers, not just sits on top.

How should I store and reheat leftovers?

Store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave or bake the whole dish at 325 °F until heated through. You can also freeze it (wrapped tightly) for up to 2 months—thaw overnight before reheating.
