  2. Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and spread them evenly in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  3. Pour the hot sausage gravy over the biscuit pieces.

Notes

This casserole can be made ahead by preparing the sausage and gravy the night before. Store the gravy in the refrigerator and assemble in the morning before baking. Ensure not to soak the biscuits overnight to maintain their texture.
