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.)

Carrie says
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?
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
You make the gravy separate and pour it over just before serving. Hope you like it!
Zayne Lanier says
Has anyone tried adding frozen hashbrowns to this?
Stephanie says
Can you freeze any leftovers and serve later?
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
I’m honestly not sure! You would have to experiment with this. Sorry, I can’t help.
Lynn says
Can you cook it on low over night?
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
I’m honestly not sure. You would have to try it. Sorry!
Jolene says
So I am assuming you make the gravy on the stove first then add the rest in the crockpot?
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
Yes, or use canned gravy.
Amanda says
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?
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
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.
Dee says
How many does this recipe serve? I be got about 65 to serve?
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
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!
Sue says
I’m confused about the eggs. Do you scramble them first or lightly mix them with the sausage & cheese?
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
Nope – no scrambling. Just mix the eggs, sausage, and cheese together and pour into the crockpot. 🙂
Bethany says
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 🙂
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
Cool! I’m glad it worked out for you that way!
KayRay Sutton says
Could I use frozen crescent rolls instead of biscuits
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
I’m sure you could! Sounds delicious to me!
Hannah says
i made this for dinner tonight and it was super yummy!! my bf and i loved it! i think we ate a little too much haha thanks for the awesome recipe 🙂
Krissy of B-Inspired Mama says
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Michele says
If u use the already made sausage gravy can u just pour it over top and cook in crock pot?
Krissy @ B-Inspired Mama says
I would say so. 🙂
Laura says
Should the canned gravy go on top of biscuits before or after sausage egg mixture is cooked?
Krissy @ B-Inspired Mama says
It would go on the individual servings of the casserole after it’s all done cooking.
Hannah says
So do you let it sit overnight then turn the crockpot on in the morning?
Krissy @ B-Inspired Mama says
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.
Dana Rodriguez says
That looks so good! I use my crockpot a lot so I will be trying this soon!
Krissy @ B-Inspired Mama says
Let me know what you think if you do!
Mystii Glover says
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!!
Krissy @ B-Inspired Mama says
I’m sorry they didn’t cook for you! But glad it turned out after all. 🙂
