Why you'll love this sausage egg and biscuit breakfast casserole
This breakfast casserole recipe is so easy to prepare because it uses refrigerated biscuit dough and can be prepared the night before. This breakfast casserole with biscuits makes a great breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients

How to make this easy breakfast casserole
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a casserole dish with cooking spray.
For this breakfast casserole with biscuits, I used a 3 quart casserole dish. I am all about my baking dish with carrier. It makes it so easy to take this breakfast to a meeting or gathering.
I cut each biscuit into six pieces. The easiest way to do this is to use a pizza cutter.
I used eight frozen pork sausage patties for this biscuit breakfast casserole. Just heat in the microwave and cut the cooked sausage into small pieces. Bacon would work well too as would turkey sausage.
Spread cut biscuits in the bottom of the greased casserole dish. Spread the sausage pieces over the biscuits. Sprinkle ½ cup of the shredded cheese over the sausage.
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk with a whisk. Pour the egg mixture over the other ingredients in the baking pan.
Top with the remainder of the cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set.

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

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!
Vicky
Thanks for the kind words Celena! It always means a lot. Enjoy your day!

Angie
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.
Vicky
So glad it turned out for you Angie. It is one of our favorites.
Tiawana
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.
Vicky
I love the two meat variation. Yum! Thanks for the kind words!
Lois
Do you cover while baking?
Vicky
No, but you can cover with foil near the end if it starts turning too brown.
Denise
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!!
Robin
Have you tried using salsa or green verde salsa in the egg mixture? Just wondering how that would pair with the biscuits?
Vicky
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.
Renee Murphy
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.
Vicky
I say it's worth a try Renee!
Maria
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.

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!
Jeffrey Melton
Last tip... You can build the raw biscuits into two stacks and get all your cutting done in 6 cuts - easy!!
Vicky
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!!
Debbie
Hi Jeff, do you use the 16 Oz grand biscuits or the 10 Oz regular biscuits?
Erin
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?
Vicky
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.
Britta
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.
Erin
This was hecka good! Made it exactly how you said using a roll of mild bulk sausage!! Winner, winner, egg breakfast dinner! Thanks
Vicky
Thanks for the kind words Erin!
