Traeger Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
Biscuits and gravy are currently a family favorite here. I’ve started stocking the ingredients because it is such a simple breakfast to whip up on the weekends, and everyone loves it.
I decided to try it out on the pellet grill in casserole form to whip up some poached eggs while the casserole cooked. It worked so well and tasted incredible, and several of my kids said they preferred it that way.
I think sometimes people overthink sausage gravy. This one is so simple, and we don’t get too fancy with the seasonings, either. Buy your favorite breakfast sausage and let it do the work for you. It should be enough to infuse the gravy with all the flavor you need, beyond some extra black pepper.
