We LOVE a good breakfast casserole! They’re perfect for holidays (especially Christmas morning), brunch, showers and especially when you have company in town.
Today’s easy breakfast casserole is filling, takes minutes to put together, and is packed with flavor – biscuits, eggs, and sausage, there’s something for everyone! It’s our go-to breakfast bake!
One reason we love it is because the ingredients are SIMPLE!! There are only a handful, and it’s prepped in 5 minutes – just layer and bake!
It can also be made ahead of time (the night before) or easily whipped up right before baking – versatile AND delicious!
Why we think you’ll love it:
- Refrigerate overnight or bake it immediately. Either way, this breakfast casserole is quick and easy!
- Ready in no time! Throw it together from scratch in 5-10 minutes, pop it straight into the oven, and enjoy it 30 minutes later.
- So filling. Biscuits, eggs, and sausage – it’s hearty and packed with flavor!
Breakfast Casserole Ingredients
- Grands! Biscuits (1, 16.3-ounce can, 8 count): Press into the pan to make a buttery, flaky base that holds the casserole. Or 16 ounces Homemade Biscuit dough (partially cook before adding the toppings to ensure it cooks thoroughly.)
- Jimmy Dean precooked sausage crumbles (1, 8-ounce package) or crumbled cooked sausage (1 cup): Savory protein that adds hearty flavor in every bite. If using regular sausage, cook in a skillet over medium heat cooking the sausage, breaking and flipping, until no longer pink.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese (1 cup): Melts stretchy and creamy for that classic cheese pull.
- Shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup): Brings sharp flavor and helps the top brown golden.
- Large eggs, beaten (8): Set into a fluffy layer that binds the filling so slices hold together.
- Milk, room temperature (1 cup): Loosens the eggs for a tender, custardy texture.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Simple seasoning that brightens and balances the rich ingredients.
- optional veggies – Saute and add spinach, mushrooms, and red bell peppers.
- optional toppings – green onions, bacon bits, sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce

EGGS. In a large bowl, whisk 8 eggs, 1 cup milk, and salt and pepper to taste until blended. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese.

Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Make it any meat. Turkey, chicken sausage, bacon, ham or spicy chorizo all are great for this recipe. You can even add a combo of any of these meats to make it meat lovers.
- Savory and Sweet. For any function, holiday or get together, we love to make this recipe and also make a sweet casserole like our French Toast Casserole, Coffee Cake or Cinnamon Roll Cake. Everyone loves the combo!

Love this recipe. Made it Christmas morning – so quick to put together. Everyone loved it. Definitely a keeper.
Can you prepare this the night before and bake it in the morning?
Yes, you definitely can. Just cover it with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge overnight.
425 would have been way too high of temp. I did 375 for 30 min and the bottom was crispy. Still tastes good. Next time I’ll do 350
The biscuit came out doughy! Everything else cooked well. What can I do so the biscuit isn’t doughy?
Doughy for us too, after 30mins. Throwing it back in to see if o can cook it through. Placed back in at 425 on bottom rack…
Can you freeze this
So yummy!! Making this for Christmas this year. Substituting with homemade biscuit dough…. Should be just as yummy!!
I’m sure it will be. Homemade is always tasty!! Hope it’s a hit!
So delicious and works so well made ahead
Easy and delicious! The entire family loves it and that’s why I make it every other week for either breakfast or dinner. Even added green chilies sometimes.
Yes, I love that this one can be a breakfast or a dinner! The addition of green chiles sounds tasty too. Thanks for sharing!
This is our families favorite breakfast! Perfect for large groups and leftovers are so good the next day!
Me and my boys LOVE this easy breakfast recipe. It’s always a hit. I especially love it because it tastes just as delicious the next day.
If I made this the night before and then served would it be an okay thing to serve cold? Like quiche?
You can certainly make it the night before. I haven’t ever tried it cold, so it might be delicious? It is a really easy one to reheat too if you want to serve it warm. You can either reheat the whole casserole in the oven when ready to serve or microwave individual portions.
Easy to make like recipe.
This is amazing. It’s good as left. Overs too. So yummy 😋
