Step-by-Step Instructions

Making biscuits and gravy hashbrown casserole is surprisingly simple. Follow these easy steps for a warm, comforting dish every time:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled—about 8 minutes. Don’t drain the fat.
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk. Stir until smooth and thickened—about 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, mix the thawed hashbrowns with melted butter and cheddar cheese.
- Spread the hashbrown mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the hashbrowns.
- Separate the biscuits and place them on top of the gravy.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Pro Tips
- Always thaw your hashbrowns completely—frozen ones release too much moisture.
- Use freshly ground pepper in the gravy for extra depth of flavor.
- For crispier biscuit tops, brush them lightly with melted butter halfway through baking.
- Want extra cheesy goodness? Sprinkle a little cheddar on top of the gravy before adding biscuits.
- Make ahead tip: Prepare everything the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Just add the biscuits in the morning and bake!
Storage & Reheating Tips
Got leftovers? Store the cooled casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For freezing, let it cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through—cover with foil to prevent biscuits from drying out. You can also microwave individual portions on medium power for 1–2 minutes. This biscuits and gravy hashbrown casserole reheats beautifully without losing its creamy texture or hearty flavor.
What to Serve With Biscuits and Gravy Hashbrown Casserole

This biscuits and gravy hashbrown casserole is filling enough to stand alone, but it pairs beautifully with lighter sides. A crisp fruit salad adds balance and freshness.

Add a side of scrambled eggs or a yogurt parfait station for variety. This hearty casserole plays well with sweet and savory sides, making it ideal for both family meals and potluck gatherings.
