Between endless Christmas shopping, wrapping way too many presents, baking the kids’ Christmas treats, and all the other bustle of the holiday season, we aren’t left with a whole lot of time for everything else.  You know – like cooking meals so my kids don’t starve!

But you can take some amazing shortcuts that still deliver loads of flavor and save money — by shopping at Save-A-Lot.  I used just a few easy ingredients from Save-A-Lot for this easy Biscuits and Gravy Crockpot Breakfast Casserole recipe.

It’s so easy; I can toss everything together in the crockpot and enjoy family time – or get more Christmas wrapping done – instead of babysitting a pan on the stovetop.  It’s the perfect crockpot breakfast casserole for Christmas morning, too.  Just put it in the crockpot as soon as you wake up.  You’ll only need to attend to it once for less than a minute before it’s ready to fill up those hungry bellies.  Plus, this large crockpot full of casserole was less than $10 to make, with the majority of a half-gallon of milk and cheese leftover.  Score!  Here’s how to make it…

(Psst… PIN IT! — to save it for later.)

To Make Gravy:

In a small saucepan, whisk butter and flour together until it just begins to turn a golden brown.  Add in milk, salt, and pepper, and stir frequently over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.  Reduce to a simmer until thickened.

Serve gravy on top of the yummy breakfast casserole.

If you really want to cut time, dishes, and hassle, you can use ready-made sausage gravy instead.

      I have a 6q and it takes 1 1/2 hours
      But my crockpot is newer. I would after hour check on it. actually it’s in my crockpot now!
      But I would definitely if you have a larger one start keeping eye on it after hour.
      You can make your own gravy but you can use the Can sausage gravy. Either way is. Good

    Do you pour the gravy mix on the mixture to cook, or pour it in the crock pot when everything is done or save it and just put it on the servings?

      You make the gravy separate and pour it over just before serving. Hope you like it!

    So I am assuming you make the gravy on the stove first then add the rest in the crockpot?

      Yes, or use canned gravy.

    If I double this recipe will it cook fine in my crock pot? Do I need to double the time it takes to bake/cook?

      November 16, 2018 at 7:31 AM

      I’m honestly not sure. The only problem you would probably have would be the biscuits cooking well. But, you could bake them separately to serve with it.

      Hi Dee! By estimation, I would say 8-10. And that seems typical of crockpot casserole recipes when I checked into it. Hope it works out for you!

    I’m confused about the eggs. Do you scramble them first or lightly mix them with the sausage & cheese?

    Reply
    • Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says

      June 18, 2018 at 8:13 AM

      Nope – no scrambling. Just mix the eggs, sausage, and cheese together and pour into the crockpot. 🙂

    I made this wrong the first time and it still came out great! I prepared this for a work pot luck. I browned my sausage ahead of time and stored it in the fridge. Then when I got to work I dumped everything right in my casserole crockpot gravy and cheese and all (I used the canned gravy). It took longer, probably 3.5hours. It tasted great!! I’m going to try making it the correct way next time 🙂

        Should the canned gravy go on top of biscuits before or after sausage egg mixture is cooked?

          It would go on the individual servings of the casserole after it’s all done cooking.

    So do you let it sit overnight then turn the crockpot on in the morning?

      March 16, 2017 at 8:50 AM

      You could have it all set and have the crock in the fridge overnight. But you would want to be careful to let it come to room temp before cooking it or your crock might crack. It’s probably best to just throw it together in the morning.

    Biscuits were nowhere near done after 2.5 hours on high. Popped the dish into a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Biscuits rose, and browned. Added the gravy and a cheese sprinkle. Delicious!!
