I love biscuit breakfast casserole because it’s hearty, comforting, and perfect for slow mornings or feeding a crowd. I enjoy how fluffy biscuits soak up eggs and cheese while baking, creating a warm, savory dish that feels cozy and satisfying with every bite.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s easy to assemble and incredibly filling. I enjoy that I can prep it ahead of time and bake it when I’m ready. I also appreciate how flexible it is, since I can change the meat, cheese, or vegetables based on what I have.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
refrigerated biscuit dough
-
eggs
-
milk
-
breakfast sausage
- shredded cheddar cheese
-
onion
-
salt
-
black pepper
-
optional bell peppers or green onions
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a baking dish. I cut the biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the dish.
I cook the sausage in a skillet until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat. I sprinkle the cooked meat and chopped onion over the biscuits, followed by an even layer of shredded cheese.
In a bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. I pour the egg mixture evenly over everything in the baking dish, gently pressing down so the biscuits absorb some of the liquid.
I bake the casserole until the eggs are set, the biscuits are cooked through, and the top is golden. I let it rest briefly before slicing and serving.
Servings and timing
I usually get about 6 to 8 servings from this casserole.
Prep time takes around 15 minutes, baking time is about 35 minutes, and the total time comes to roughly 50 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra vegetables. I like using different cheeses such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, I warm portions in the oven or microwave until heated through. If reheating from cold, I cover it lightly to prevent drying out.
FAQs

I usually use refrigerated canned biscuits, which work perfectly for this recipe.
What can I serve with this casserole?
I like serving it with fresh fruit or a simple side salad to balance the richness.
Conclusion
