My husband is a huge fan of Biscuits and Gravy so when I got the idea for a Biscuit and Gravy Casserole from Pinterest I knew I had to create my version of the dish for Ashton. I used my cream cheese sausage gravy recipe and experimented with crescent and biscuit dough. The Pinterest recipe called for crescent roll dough on the bottom and top, however my husband and I both prefer flaky biscuits on top instead. So my version has a crescent bottom crust and a flaky butter biscuit top.
No matter how you top off this casserole it is peppery, creamy, and a Southern breakfast favorite!

| You don’t need to add butter or oil to the pan when cooking the sausage and onions, especially in a cast iron pan. The grease will give you flavor and keep the onions from sticking to the pan. But make sure you drain all but about 1 tsp of grease so it won’t be too greasy! |
Meanwhile, in a large sauce pot heat milk over medium low heat and whisk in flour.
Cook and constantly stir for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Then add cream cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour sausage mixture into gravy and mix well.
Make sure to constantly stir the milk and flour until thickened. Using a whisk be sure not to burn the milk. When adding pepper, it is according to taste. The cream cheese adds a sweet note so the pepper and sage sausage give it the kick the gravy needs!
Pour sausage gravy onto the crescent sheet and spread to cover.
I thought the Grands Jr Buttery Golden Layers were the
perfect flaky, crunchy topping for this casserole!
Spread the biscuits out on top.
You can also use bigger biscuits, an 8 pack, but you will need to bake for a couple more minutes to cook through.

We had this casserole for Sunday breakfast last week.
It definitely fills you up and we were ready for a nap afterwards!
You can also just make this gravy recipe and use to top biscuits, cornbread, or potatoes!
I think you just stole my husband's heart. He looooves biscuits and gravy and I will have to try your recipe. Sounds delicious!!
I LOVE your 7up Biscuit recipe!!!

I always used to read post in news papers but now as
I am a user of web therefore from now I am using net for articles or reviews, thanks to web.
My husband would freak out if I made this! He LOVES biscuits and gravy! I’m thinking birthday breakfast!!
This is the BEST gravy recipe! I’ve made it for years and it’s always requested once I make it for someone. I personally prefer just to make the gravy separate and it’s perfect in its own. I also can’t always find sage sausage and regular sausage turns out well too. Thank you!
Thanks so much! I love it too!
