I love sausage and cream gravy. I don't know of many Southern Ladies that don't have a recipe committed to memory for it - as we tend to make it quite a bit (: I have seen recipes that use a mix - but why not make the gravy yourself! It's easy peasy to make and once you do, you'll never look back. This is definitely a crowd pleasing casserole. I sometimes make it for dinner. Then breakfast is ready in the morning - that is if there is any left. I hope you give this one a try.

How To Make comforting southern biscuits and gravy casserole

1
In a skillet brown sausage, onion, and poblano pepper until all are thoroughly cooked. Remove sausage and veggies and set aside.

2
Add additional oil if needed to sausage drippings. Add flour and cook on medium high for 5 - 7 minutes. Stirring with a whisk constantly.
3
Add milk, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until mixture begins to bubble and thicken. Remove from heat.
4
In a medium bowl combine, eggs, milk, butter, salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
5
Turn oven to 350 degrees. In a 9 X 13 baking dish (greased or spray with cooking spray) add biscuits.
