Ingredients & Substitutions

Buttermilk Biscuits: You will need 4 buttermilk biscuits, already baked, for this recipe. You could use my homemade buttermilk biscuits (which you will love) or store-bought biscuits.

Pork: Look for ground pork (not ground pork sausage, which is already seasoned). The pork will be seasoned with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. You could also use ground turkey, ground beef, or try Italian sausage if you prefer more of a kick, or spice, to each bite.

Gravy Mix: I used a packet of homestyle country gravy mix. You could substitute sausage gravy mix, mushroom gravy mix, or onion gravy mix, just to give you a few alternatives.

Tater Tots: No need to cook the frozen tater tots ahead of time. They will layer the bottom of your baking dish and bake with the other ingredients. I filled the bottom of my dish with 44 tots; however, you may need to adjust the number to fit in your baking dish.

Eggs: Four eggs are beaten and poured over the biscuit pieces and tater tots. The eggs help bind everything together while adding a fluffy texture to the dish.

Cheese: Choose your favorite kind of cheese or cheese blend to add to the top of the biscuits and gravy bake. I used mild cheddar, but it would also be delicious with other kinds of cheese!

Can I Make The Biscuits and Gravy Bake Ahead Of Time?

Yes, there are a few ways to get a head start on this recipe. To save time when ready to assemble the biscuits and gravy bake, have the biscuits made in advance. Once baked, let the biscuits cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. You can also make the pork gravy in advance. After the gravy has been made and cooled, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. When ready to use the gravy, reheat it on the stovetop or the microwave until warm and pourable.

Can I Make A Larger Batch?

Sure! If you need to feed a larger crowd, double the recipe and use a 9×13-inch baking dish. If making a larger batch, you may need to adjust the baking time to ensure everything cooks evenly.

Easy Biscuits and Gravy Bake is baked buttermilk biscuits nestled into a layer of tater tots, topped with seasoned ground pork gravy, eggs, and cheddar cheese. Then, it is all baked together for a breakfast that will be devoured in no time!

Ingredients

  • 4 buttermilk biscuits, baked, cooled, and cut into quarters
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 packet (1.25 ounces) country gravy mix
  • 2 cups (490 g) whole milk
  • 44 frozen tater tots, or enough to fill the bottom of your baking dish
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup (113 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • To a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add ground pork. Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat as you go, for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  • Sprinkle the country gravy mix evenly over the cooked pork, stirring to coat. While stirring constantly, slowly pour in the milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.

Assembly

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Line the bottom of the baking dish with frozen tater tots. Depending on the shape of your baking dish, you may need more or less tater tots.
  • Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly over the tater tots.
  • Pour the beaten eggs over the biscuits.
  • Top with the prepared country gravy.
  • Sprinkle cheese over the top.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • In the last few minutes of the baking time, remove the foil to allow the cheese to melt.
  • Garnish with parsley. Serve.

What the Test Kitchen had to say about this recipe:

Autumn

I love a good breakfast bake. Biscuits and gravy are right up my ally! Yum!

Elizabeth

I love a hearty breakfast, and this does not disappoint. I would like to try the gravy with breakfast sausage next time, but it is a delicious hot breakfast!

Rachael

This is a quick breakfast bake that comes together so deliciously. I would use a breakfast sausage because I love the flavor of sage and marjoram, but this shows you can use any sausage flavor you would prefer. You can also season the ground pork to your preference.

Annabelle

This is a simple and quick breakfast! It's flavorful and filling, perfect for a weekend breakfast!

Bella

This is quite the meal to have in the morning! It is tasty and very fulfilling. I love the gravy element. I would prefer swapping the ground pork out for some sausage, but overall, this is a great recipe to bake up for a satisfying meal!

Selena

Super easy and quick to throw together! I would probably use breakfast sausage instead of ground pork. I think my family would love this dish.
