How To Make overnight biscuits and gravy casserole

• 1

  In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
• 2

  Reduce the heat to medium-low. When the sausage is cooked and no longer pink, sprinkle half of the 1/3 cup flour on the sausage and stir until it is absorbed. Add the rest a little at a time, and stir until all the flour is soaked up. Stir for 1 more minute to get the flour taste out.
• 3

  Turn the heat to medium. Pour in the milk, 1 cup at a time, stirring to thicken it up each time.
• 4

  Once you have added all the milk, continue stirring for another 10-12 minutes until the gravy has thickened up some.
• 5

  Add pepper.
• 6

  Meanwhile, mix together the eggs. Break the eggs into a large bowl or stand mixer and whisk. Add 1/2 cup milk, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper to taste.
• 7

  Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Open the can of biscuits and separate all the biscuits. Use scissors to cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
• 8

  Drop the quartered biscuits onto the prepared pan and spread them out evenly.
• 9

  Pour the egg mixture over the biscuits.
• 10

  Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
• 11

  Pour the gravy over the cheese and spread it out. (At this point you can cover tightly and refrigerate overnight).
• 12

  If you are making this now, bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for about 38-45 minutes.
• 13

  If you are making this the next day, take it out of the fridge, cover with aluminum foil.
• 14

  There is no need to preheat the oven first. Just put it in the oven and turn it on to 350 degrees.
• 15

  Bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the foil. Continue baking for another 15-30 minutes, or until the biscuits have browned and the sauce is bubbly. (45-60 minutes total if it's been in the fridge overnight).
