When I have to make breakfast for a crowd, whether it be family or a potluck, I am looking for easy and delicious. As the mom of small kids, I don’t have lots of time in the morning. My favorite breakfast recipes are those where I can do all of the meal prep the night before and just pop something in the oven in the morning when things are more hectic. This Sausage, Egg and Biscuit Breakfast Casserole contains all my favorite breakfast items in one dish. If you have ever indulged in a biscuit with sausage and egg at your local fast food establishment then you know those flavors just work. Did I mention that it’s super cheesy too? Just because. When you’re done here, try our Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Casserole or this collection of Breakfast Casserole Recipes.

Sausage Egg and Biscuit Breakfast Casserole

This breakfast casserole recipe is so easy to prepare because it uses refrigerated biscuit dough.

I cut each biscuit into six pieces. The easiest way to do this is to use a pizza cutter.

For this Sausage, Egg and Biscuit Breakfast Casserole recipe I used a 3 quart casserole dish. I am all about my casserole dish with carrier. It makes it so easy to take this breakfast to a meeting or gathering.
how to make a breakfast casserole
I used eight frozen sausage patties for this breakfast casserole. Just heat and cut into small pieces. Bacon would work well too. Mmmmm…bacon.

  1. I love the idea of this. I am going to try using the rolled sausage with green peppers and onions. How much does this feed? I have a family of 5 and when we eat breakfast I never use less than a dozen eggs.

        • MY FRIEND STICKS IT IN THE OVEN AND SETS THE TIMER FOR THE OVEN TO START COOKING. IT WAS GOOD, SO I DON’T GUESS IT HURT IT, LOL. I DON’T KNOW IF I WOULD DO THAT 🙂

          Reply


          • you risk food poisoning by leaving the raw egg mixture at room temp or slightly above it for a long period of time! bacteria harmful to humans thrive in warm environments close to our body temperature. refrigerate it and arise early to bake it in time for breakfast.

          • Yes, Cendy, you are right. I would not do that. Once your pour the eggs and cheese on top you can bake it or place it in the refrigerator overnight and bake it the next morning.

  2. I’ve made this twice now and it’s very easy and taste great. I’ve made it with ground meat and sausage, both taste really good.

    • Hi Sarah, I have never made this recipe in a crock pot, so honestly I have no idea how it would turn out. If you try it and it works please let me know.

    • Hi Sarah, All Free SlowCooker Recipes had this guide, I hope it helps, I haven’t used it, so I can’t vouch for it.

    • My boss made a really good breakfast casserole in her crockpot, she said she put frozen hash browns in her crockpot and layered cooked sausage and cheese and on top of all the layers she poured her egg mixture and cooked on low for 8 hours. It was really good.

  6. I would like to use a cholesterol-free liquid egg product (i.e.-Eggbeaters) instead of regular eggs. Should I still add the milk and mix?

    Reply

  11. Hi Vicky,
    Thank you for this recipe. It looks awesome. Once I make this can I cut in squares and freeze them to heat before work in the morning? I’m looking for something to make easy to reheat on work days.

    Reply

    • Hi Christie, I had leftovers once when I made this and was able to freeze it and it was fine when defrosted so this should work. Happy New Year!

      Reply

  13. I’m going to make it tomorrow and put it in the freezer. I will pull it out on Friday night so it can thaw overnight and then bake it Saturday morning together with Rhodes Bubble Bread (found in the Rhodes web site). Should make an excellent brunch.

  15. I forgot to spray my glass Pyrex 9×13.. Think I need to spray another Pyrex dish and dump in?? :/ I made two of these and took to church breakfast for supper. Yummy! But I sprayed those dishes..

    Reply

  16. Hi Miss Vicky! Does it make much of a difference if I use a regular nonstick metal pan, or would you prefer glass? Also, do the biscuits come out doughy? Could I bake the biscuit/sausage mixture prior to adding the eggs?

    Vicky, I’m looking forward to making this recipe. I’d like to know the calorie count, fat and carbs. I am diabetic. Also, if I added asparagus to this recipe would it change the texture or the cooking time? Would I need to cook the asparagus first and for how long? I’ll appreciate hearing from you.

    My family is visiting this weekend for my 65th Birthday. I thought this would be yummy!!!

    Thanks,

    Shirley

    Reply

    • Hi Shirley, thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful birthday. I have never calculated the calories, or carbs, but it can probably be done just by checking the ingredients. Turkey sausage would help cut down on fat and they sell lower fat biscuits that you could use. I think asparagus would be a wonderful addition and it would not affect cooking time.

      Reply

    • I think they should work but the casserole might be a little more doughy. You can try adding one more egg as well.

      Reply

    • I know its been several months since u posted this, but I wanted to add that I did use the grands biscuits, and I would suggest just using enough of them to cover the bottom of the pan. I used the whole thing, since the recipe called for a 16 oz can I thought it would have the same result. LOL I was very wrong! It was very bready, obviously, but it had good flavor so it wasn’t a loss. But I would definitely suggest NOT using the whole can ?

      Reply

    • im worried about the biscuits not cooking right…no need to precook biscuit even [partially) if I want pronounced chunks of biscuit?

      Reply


  23. I made this for my 9th grade advisement. they devoured it! I mean not a crumb left over!! My only changes were that I scrambled 1 roll of Jimmy Dean sausage, used Grands Flaky Honey Biscuits, I also used 10 eggs. (6 wasn’t enough).

    Reply


  24. This recipe was fabulous — so easy and my husband flipped out over the deliciousness! Thank you! Will definitely be making many more times.

    By the way, I subbed pepperjack cheese and turkey bacon, and it turned out wonderfully. Added some minced onion, grated parmesan, and cayenne pepper, too.

    Reply


  27. I forgot the milk while talking to husband and preparing casserole. I’m so sad casserole looks amazing any way I could save it?

    Reply

    • Hmmm. You have two options, both of which I haven’t tried – cook it without the milk and see what happens (I imagine it would be quite dry though) or just pour the milk on top and hope for the best. I would try the second option I think.

      Reply


  28. I have made this recipe many times and absolutely love it!!! So easy to make but I agree with some others, it needs more eggs… at least 8 but best with 10.

    Reply

  30. I love this recipe!! I added cooked hash browns to the mix! And I always whip up gravy with my sausage grease to use as a dip for the casserole!! The family loves it!!!

    Reply

  31. I don’t have hashbrowns which I usually use, but I do have the Grands biscuits. I think what I am going to do is to pre-bake the biscuit layer, just until it rises but not browns. Then add the rest of the ingredients so the base is not soggy.

    Reply


  32. I tried this today with only the alternation of using 10 eggs & it was fantastic!!! Thank you so much for sharing.

    Reply

  34. I like to experiment with my breakfast. ..how ddo you think it would work out it i substitute the milk for carmel coffee creamer. …do you think that would.work……..my family has a SWEET TOOTH…..

    Reply

    • Hi Kathy, I have no idea if it would work. My initial thought would be no, but if you try and it and it works please let me know as it sounds like a delicious variation!

      Reply


  35. I make this at least once a month for church breakfast. It is amazing. So quick and easy, plus everyone devours it! The only thing I do different is I double the eggs and cook it on 400 for 35-40 min

    Reply

  36. I made this as progresSively to add 8 eggs instead of 6. Took it to board meeting this morning and everyone raved about it! Next time I will add someushrooms, a little chopped onion, and a little chopped bell pepper…just for the veggies. Thanks for sharing!

    Reply

  38. If I wanted to make ahead and freeze, should I freeze after assembly then thaw and bake? Or should I assemble and then freeze and thaw and warm it before serving? Thanks.

    Reply

    • I have never tried freezing it before, only making it the night before and placing it in the refrigerator. I am not sure what would be the better method. If you try it, please let me know as other people may ask in the future. Thanks for stopping by!

      Reply

  39. Can I use the already fully cooked crumbled sausage you can find in the frozen section? If so, can I just put it in with the other ingredients and refrigerate it if I plan on making it the next morning? Or do I need to heat it, then pour it in with the other ingredients?

    Reply

    • I do use that kind of sausage but I always heat it in the mircowave according to package directions before adding it to the casserole.

      Reply

  40. I made this today and followed the recipe exactly. The biscuits were still raw in the center of the casserole, so I put it back in the oven for longer, but the outside browned too much and the center was still underdone. Have you had issues with the biscuits not cooking eveniy throughout, or do you foil it to keep from browning too much on the outside?

    Reply

    • Hmmm…I have never had that issue and reading through the comments I don’t think anyone else has. So sorry to hear that it didn’t work out. Maybe in the future covering it in foil would help.

      Reply

      • I just pulled this casserole out of the oven after 40 minutes and the biscuits are sooo runny and doughy. We have now been waiting for over an hour for it to cook. Disappointed our Christmas casserole did not turn out.

        Reply

        • Sorry to hear that. It’s so weird that things turn out like that sometimes. I got a comment an hour after you from someone who made it and loved it.

          Reply


  41. Made this this morning for Christmas Morning Breakfast. I used bacon and added sautéed Mushrooms and Green Peppers. I also used a Mexican cheese blend. It was so good! My family loved it. This will be definitely be made again.

    Reply


  42. I LOVE this recipe! Our family makes it every time we have weekend visitors – it is simple, feeds many and everyone asks for the recipe. I am wondering if this is something that will freeze well? And if so, at what point in the process do I stop and freeze? We have a baby due in a few weeks and I’m doing much food prep/freezing. Any suggestions for making this recipe freeze-ready are appreciated!

    Reply


  43. I was wondering can I add red chili, potato and bacon to the recipe. I want a breakfast casserole that has biscuit, egg, some form of potato, bacon sausage, red chili and cheese that I can bake and them refrigerate so I can cut some out, heat it up and eat it quick on the way to school.

    Reply

    • Those sounds like great additions. I have never tried them so I can’t speak to if the cooking time would be exactly the same, but if you try it please let me know how it works out.

      Reply

    • I haven never tried that Jessica so I don’t know for sure. It sounds like a yummy variation though so if you do it, let me know how it turns out.

      Reply

    • Hi Annette, I have never tried it with smoked turkey sausage so I am not sure. I would think it shouldn’t effect anything.

      Reply


  47. Hi
    This recipe sound yummy 1 I got a question about the biscuit dough. In Ecuador we don’t have biscuits, I have never cooked them either on top of that I’m a rookie! I’m thinking what would turn out if I use bread? Maybe croissants cut in pieces?
    What do you think?

    Reply

    • I have never tried that, but I like the idea of the croissants. Wish I could be of more help. if you try it please let me know how it turns out. Thanks for stopping by.

      Reply

  49. This was hecka good! Made it exactly how you said using a roll of mild bulk sausage!! Winner, winner, egg breakfast dinner! Thanks

    Reply

  50. I read where others have said they used 10 eggs. If I use 10 eggs would I also increase the amount of milk? If so, how much?

    Looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it.

    Reply

  51. Is it doughy at all bc of biscuits? Has anyone ever cooked the cut up biscuits for 5 minutes or so before adding rest of ingredients and then finish cooking? Also is it better to let it set for a few hours or overnight before cooking? Does it turn out better?

    Reply

    • I have not found it to be doughy anytime I have made it. I always like leaving it for a few hours or overnight since the biscuits soak up more of the eggs, but it is good either way.

      Reply


  52. This has been our Sunday special go-to breakfast for the last 2 years. Absolutely fantastic, as simple as it is.

    We usually make it by browning a pound of breakfast sausage (the kind that comes in a roll), and using that in place of the sausage patties. We’ve also made it with bacon, turkey sausage, and others – all great!! We also use 8 to 10 eggs without changing any of the other ingredients amounts to give it a bit more body. I’ve never had it come out doughy, as many commenters seem to be concerned about. We also sometimes prepare it the night before for a quick-to-prepare holiday breakfast. We always keep a roll of sausage and a tube of biscuits on hand for when we need breakfast casserole!

    To make it EXTRA-special, use Pillsbury flaky layers biscuits or similar.

    Definitely give this recipe a try – it’s becoming a family tradition in my house, and the wife loves it!

    • Last tip… You can build the raw biscuits into two stacks and get all your cutting done in 6 cuts – easy!!

    • Jeffrey, thank you so much for the kind words! It is a favorite here as well. What can be bad about sausage, egg and biscuits. Thanks for the wonderful tips!!

  53. This looks perfect for a Sunday morning breakfast I’m planning for overnight guests.
    Does anyone know the nutritional info? Calorie count per serving?
    Thanks.

  54. This looks very,very good but I don’t have any canned biscuits. I was wondering if I could use homemade biscuit dough? Sounds real yummy.

    Reply

  55. Have you tried using salsa or green verde salsa in the egg mixture? Just wondering how that would pair with the biscuits?

    Reply

    • I have not tried that, but I can’t imagine that it would be bad. Sounds yummy! If you give it a shot let me know how it works.

      Reply

  56. Hey, I’m planning on making this for my family, and 2 other families for Christmas morning breakfast. I looked through the comments but didn’t see anyone mention this. I’m not big on canned biscuits and I plan on using my homemade biscuit recipe. Have you ever tried this, do you think it would work out ok? I’m really looking forward to this, Merry Christmas!!

    Reply

  58. My family loved this dish! I made it this morning. I used Tennessee Pride mild sausage and bacon. Mixed both meats on the top half and bacon only on the bottom half. Was truly a success! Thanks for sharing.

  59. This was very good and easy to make. I made mine the night before I just put it in the fridge and cooked it in the morning. I used turkey sausage definitely making this Castrol again.

  62. What a great easy recipe! It tasted good. My hubby and son really liked it. I think next time I will try the Maple Jimmy Dean Sausage with it. Might give it a bit more flavor. Thanks for sharing!

  64. I made this and its wonderful~ I added a few more eggs like you said in some comments and its perfect~~ I did refrigerate overnight too~~ for those of you that are having it brown too quickly~~ I had read comments before I made it and I did add the cheese to first layer but almost when done and eggs set I added to the top cheese and it melted in no time just perfectly that way you add the top cheese at the end and it doesn’t overcook it! Thankyou for this recipe its a real keeper!!! Elizabeth

  68. I added french toast bread along with the biscuits. I should have increased the egg amount but my husband and son loved it. I drizzled REAL maple syrup over it as well.

  69. This is a fabulous recipe! I made it Thanksgiving morning right before the rush of all the baking and it was great! I am making it again for my husband work!!
