Easy Crockpot Biscuits & Gravy Casserole Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Breakfast sausage: Try swapping this for turkey or chicken sausage if you’re lookin for a lighter option
All purpose flour: You can use a gluten-free flour blend in a 1:1 ratio if you need a gluten-free version
Whole milk: If you dont have whole milk, you can mix 2% milk with a little heavy cream or use almond milk in a pinch
Refrigerated biscuits: You could substitute these with ready-made biscuit dough from the bakery or even use puff pastry cut into rounds

Pro Tips

1. When browning the sausage, make sure its evenly cooked and not overdone so you dont lose that extra flavor from a little bit of grease left in the pan.
2. When adding the milk, stir slowly and consistently to keep clumps at bay, its super easy for lumps to form if you’re not careful.
3. Preheating the crockpot before you dump in everything really helps and makes the biscuits come out soft and extra fluffy.
4. If you wanna kick it up a notch, think about sprinkling some fresh herbs or a pinch more seasoning at the end for that extra boost of flavor.
