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 mealsso 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).
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.
