Ingredients For Sausage Biscuit Casserole
- Refrigerated biscuits - Refrigerated biscuit dough is the foundation of the dish. Biscuits add a fluffy and slightly crispy texture and help make the dish more filling.
- Eggs - Provide a rich, creamy texture and protein.
- Milk - Helps the eggs to cook evenly and contributes to the creamy texture.
- Shredded cheddar cheese/jack mix - Adds a melty, gooey layer to this casserole.

- Salt and pepper - To taste.

How To Make Sausage Egg and Biscuit Breakfast Casserole
1. Preheat and prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cut the biscuits
Open the tube of biscuits and separate them. Use a pizza cutter to slice each biscuit into six small pieces.
3.Cook and prep the sausage
Heat eight frozen pork sausage patties in the microwave or a skillet until fully cooked. Then chop them into small pieces. (You can also use bacon or turkey sausage if preferred!)


4. Layer the ingredients
Spread the biscuit pieces evenly on the bottom of the greased casserole dish. Add the sausage on top of the biscuits, then sprinkle some shredded cheese over the sausage.
5. Add the egg mixture
In a bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. Pour this mixture evenly over everything in the casserole dish.
6. Top with more cheese
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top for extra melty goodness.


7. Bake now or refrigerate overnight
If you're baking right away, pop it in the oven and bake until the eggs are set. Want to make it ahead? Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight, then bake in the morning as directed.

This recipe is perfect for potlucks and feeding a crowd. With just a few basic ingredients, such as biscuits, eggs, milk, cheese, and sausage, you can create a hearty, stress-free meal.
Tips For Biscuit Sausage Egg Casserole
Tip 1: Don't Overcook the Sausage. Just heat the sausage enough to cook it through, but avoid overcooking. This keeps the sausage juicy and flavorful, preventing it from drying out in the oven.
Tip 2: When putting this casserole together be sure to spread the biscuit pieces, sausage, and cheese evenly across the dish. This ensures that each bite is filled with all the yummy ingredients.
Tip 3: After removing the casserole from the oven, let it rest for about 10 minutes before you serve it. This allows the ingredients to set and makes it easier to slice.

Adding Vegetables To Breakfast Casserole
Adding veggies to this dish is a great way to add a bit of color and extra nutrients. Feel free to mix in bell peppers, onions, spinach, or mushrooms. If you are going to add vegetables, dice and sauté them first to bring out their flavors and keep them from adding excess moisture.
The best time to incorporate veggies is right after you've added the sausage but before you add the eggs. Just sprinkle the veggies over the sausage.

Britta says
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 says
This was hecka good! Made it exactly how you said using a roll of mild bulk sausage!! Winner, winner, egg breakfast dinner! Thanks
Vicky says
Thanks for the kind words Erin!
Dayna says
This is amazing with gravy!
María says
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?
Vicky says
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.
Annette says
Hi Vicky!
Would I need to alter anything if I use smoked turkey sausage instead? Thank you!
Vicky says
Hi Annette, I have never tried it with smoked turkey sausage so I am not sure. I would think it shouldn't effect anything.
Patricia says
Can you freeze it, if not how long will it stay in fridge.
Vicky says
I have cut it up into individual portions, frozen it and reheated it. So it is freezer friendly.
Jessica Zeidan says
I want to add hash browns to this and use half the biscuits do you think it would turn out well?
Vicky says
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.
April Bates says
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.
Vicky says
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.
Christina says
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!
Sharolyn says
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.
Vicky says
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Happy holidays and thanks for the kind words!
