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 the kids don’t starve.

But, I’ve discovered some amazing shortcuts that still deliver loads of flavor but save a lot of time. Like using a few everyday ingredients and my slow cooker to make this easy crock pot biscuits and gravy casserole recipe.

Easy Biscuits and Gravy Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

You can toss everything together in the crock pot and then enjoy some family time on Christmas morning instead of missing all the fun babysitting a skillet on the stove. It’s the perfect breakfast casserole recipe for any holiday brunch, family potluck, or even just a busy weekend morning. Just put the ingredients in your crockpot as soon as you wake up. You’ll only need to check it once, for less than a minute, before it’s ready to fill up your family’s hungry bellies. Plus, a large slow cooker of casserole costs less than $10 to make! Here’s how to make it…

Slow Cooker Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole Ingredients

You’ll only need a few everyday ingredients for this crock pot biscuits and gravy casserole recipe: eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, ground breakfast sausage, 1 tube of refrigerator biscuits, milk, and sausage gravy (or some butter, flower, and milk to make your own homemade gravy).

Ingredients for an Easy Crockpot Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Recipe.

Crock Pot Biscuit & Gravy Casserole Instructions:

The only real prep time for this biscuits and gravy breakfast casserole is to brown and drain the sausage. If you don’t even want to do that, you can buy pre-cooked sausage from the store and use that.

Next, you’ll want to coat your crock pot well with nonstick cooking. Or, you could wipe it down with some vegetable oil.

Then, combine the eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese in a large mixing bowl and mix up well. Season it with salt and pepper, then pour the egg mixture into your crock pot.

Next, you’ll need to open your can of biscuits and chop the biscuit dough up into bite-sized chunks. Kitchen scissors work great for this, but you can use a kitchen knife, too.

Then, place the biscuit pieces on top of the egg mixture in the slow cooker. Try to make sure they’re fairly evenly spaced.

That’s it for the main breakfast casserole recipe. Just set the crock pot to high and leave the lid on for entire cook time of 2 hours (or 4 hours if on low).

When it’s done, just warm up some canned sausage gravy to pour over each serving. That’s it!

If you’d rather make your own gravy, that’s easy, too.

Just melt some butter in a small saucepan and whisk the flour in until it’s combined. Add the milk and some salt and pepper to taste, then stir over medium-high heat until it’s the consistency you want.

      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?

      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!!
