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

This recipe was first published August 2014.
My wife and I made three pans of this for our Cub Scout group, needless to say it was gone in about 15 minutes! They loved it and so did we. We made it again the following week for us and added sun-dried tomatoes and green onions, fantastic! This is a keeper, easy to make and easy on the wallet.
Let me start by saying I read all of the reviews just something I do before trying a new recipe. First, all ovens vary. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using roll of sausage browned and drained and it turned out great, I must say I was a little skeptical about the temperature but I went ahead with the 425, I started out on the bottom rack for the first 20 minutes then moved it to the rack that is the middle of my oven and cooked it another 8 minutes for a total 28 minutes. I made Pioneer peppered gravy mix and reserved a 1/4 cup of the sausage to stir in at the end to served on the side. This is a must try recipe. It was delish!!!
My guests loved this. I made it without any meat and nobody missed it. Thank you!
You’re welcome! So glad to hear it was a hit. Thanks for sharing what you did.
This is an amazing, easy recipe and I just want to say thank you so much for including the smaller version ingredients. I really wish more included this. Super greatful!
Awe, thank you so much for saying that!!
I cooked my sausage, holding back about 1/4 cup and made gravy. Yummy served over this casserole.
Oh I bet that was delicious!
I’m looking forward to making this dish next week. I was disappointed the video isn’t here. The only videos showing are ads that loop and repeat.
Hope you enjoy the casserole! If you scroll down into the post under “Breakfast Casserole with Biscuits” the video is embedded in there. Sometimes it’ll pop up in the side of your screen if you’re on a mobile device too.
I made this tonight for family dinner! It fed 6 adults, 2 kids and a toddler. Needless to say, they loved it! Thanks for the quick and easy recipe. ❤️
Yay!! You’re so welcome. Happy to hear that the casserole was a success!
I have made this twice and my family loves it. I am wanting to make it for a brunch but want to do muffins (single servings) instead of the 9 x 13 pan. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Sounds fun! I haven’t done it in muffins, but I supposed you could do either a 1/2 biscuit or 1 biscuit (depending on the size of your muffin tin) in the bottom, top with sausage and cheese and pour a little of the egg/milk mixture on top. As far as baking time, you’d just need to keep an eye on it. I imagine it may not take that full 25 – 30 minutes as the casserole dish. You’ll definitely have to let us know how they turn out in muffins if you give it a try!
Really easy and delish recipe. Made it twice so far – once with sausage, peppers, onions – again with ham, peppers, onions. Are there any tricks to getting a better seal with the biscuit bottom?? Mine looks totally sealed solid, even more so than the photo you show – yet each time, eggs seep under the biscuits. It still tastes great, but I’d REALLY love to have a lightly crisp and golden brown biscuit bottom and eat it like pizza.
We plan on using small container of egg beaters for the 8 eggs for this recipe. Thanks, can’t wait to try this weekend!
I made this recipe using the egg beaters great for someone who is limited on eggs because the cholesterol works really well also besides sausage I added some cooked bacon pieces to give more flavor it’s great for the next day leftovers my family looks forward to it. It doesn’t take very long to make by the time the oven is preheated the ingredients are ready to go thank you enjoy .
I’m so happy you were able to modify the recipe to make it work for you! Thanks for sharing. Glad you enjoyed the casserole.
