We often enjoy having breakfast for dinner. Not cold cereal, but eggs or biscuits and gravy, or sometimes even pancakes. During a particularly cold week I wanted something warming and comforting for the family dinner, but not the usual fare. I decided on a biscuits and gravy casserole. It turned out to be a great choice: a satisfying meal that warmed us up after a session of recovering a stuck truck from a long, icy driveway.
Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
- 1 pound ground pork sausage.
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions divided in half
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 jumbo refrigerator biscuits
Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease an 11-by-7-inch baking dish and place it on a baking tray larger than the dish (in case any casserole spills over during baking).
You may want to make your own biscuits instead of using the store-bought. That’s fine, just cook your sausage before you make the biscuits and roll the biscuits out to 1/4-inch thickness. Read more…
