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.
Breakfast sausage - Gives a savory, slightly spicy taste that works wonderfully with the eggs and cheese. The sausage also adds protein, making this breakfast even more satisfying.
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.

Canned biscuits can be used in a variety of recipes besides breakfast casseroles. Their convenience and versatility make them a must-have staple in your kitchen pantry. Just look what you can make with them!
