If you’ve ever wondered what actually keeps a teenage boy full and happy in the morning — this is it. These Biscuit & Gravy Casseroles are hands-down my teenage son’s favorite meal prepped breakfast, and honestly, I get why. They’re warm, hearty, and feel like a classic comfort-food breakfast… but still fit into a macro-balanced plan.
This is one of those recipes that proves meal prep doesn’t have to feel boring or restrictive. When breakfast is already made and sitting in the fridge, it’s a whole lot easier to fuel busy mornings without resorting to grabbing something on the go.

Ingredients
- Breakfast turkey sausage
- Jumbo biscuits (I used Grands Southern Homestyle Biscuits – 3p | 27c | 7f each)
- Butter
- All-purpose flour
- Fat-free Fairlife milk
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Liquid egg whites
- Large eggs
Substitutions & Swaps
- Sausage: Use pork breakfast sausage or chicken sausage if preferred (macros will change).
- Biscuits: Swap for smaller biscuits or homemade biscuit dough if desired.
- Milk: Any milk will work, but fat-free Fairlife keeps protein higher.
- Eggs: Use all whole eggs if you prefer a richer texture.
Easy Variations
- Cheesy Version: Add shredded cheddar or pepper jack to the egg mixture.
- Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the gravy.
- Veggie Boost: Stir in sautéed bell peppers or spinach with the sausage.
- Higher-Calorie Option: Serve with fruit or add an extra biscuit per bowl.
Recipe Tip
Let the bowls cool slightly before covering — this prevents condensation and keeps the biscuits from getting soggy during storage.
Storage & Reheating
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for 2–3 minutes, stirring halfway if needed.
- These bowls are best enjoyed fresh from the fridge rather than frozen due to the biscuits.

Biscuit & Gravy Breakfast Bowls (My Teen’s Favorite Meal Prep)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz breakfast turkey sausage
- 5 jumbo biscuits, I used Grands Southern Homestyle Biscuits – 3p | 27c | 7f each
- 1 ¼ tablespoons butter, 17.5g
- 2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour, 19g
- 1 ¼ cups fat-free Fairlife milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ¼ cups liquid egg whites
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange 5 oven-safe containers on a baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the pieces from one full biscuit into each container.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the turkey sausage until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain excess grease, remove from the pan, and set aside.
- Using the same skillet (do not wipe it out), melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour — the mixture will be thick and clumpy at first.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until smooth. Continue cooking and whisking until the gravy thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cooked sausage.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Evenly pour the egg mixture over the biscuits in each container. Spoon the sausage gravy evenly over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the biscuits are golden brown.
- Let cool before covering and refrigerating. Reheat in the microwave for 2–3 minutes.

Just discovered this page, this is the first recipe I’ve tried. Delicious and easy. Can’t wait to make more meal preps.
If you use all eggs instead of eggs and egg whites, how many total eggs will you use?
Hi Randi, in these situations I get out my measuring cup and fill it with the eggs until I get the 1.25 cups the original recipes calls for(of egg whites). Then add the extra 2 whole eggs, also in the recipe. Enjoy!
