Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Sausage: I like to use seasoned breakfast sausage in this recipe. You could also use another flavor of breakfast sausage, like maple, if you want sweet and savory casserole.
- Milk: I recommend whole milk for richer gravy; however, you can use skim, 1%, or 2% milk if you prefer.
- Heavy cream: If you want lighter gravy, use half-and-half or additional milk. If you use all milk in the recipe, you may want to slightly increase the amount of flour as your gravy will be thinner with all milk.
- Biscuits: You can use any refrigerated biscuits you like, or you can make your own easy homemade drop biscuits.

Step 4: Gradually add milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Recipe Tips!
- Serving suggestions: This casserole is a hearty meal by itself. You can serve it with sides like fruit salad, orange fruit salad, or poppy seed fruit salad to help round out the meal.
- Make ahead (overnight) directions: You can assemble the casserole through step 7 the night before. Cover, and chill overnight. Take the casserole out, top with biscuits, and then preheat the oven to bake as directed.
