Our Go-to Breakfast Casserole recipe!

We LOVE a good breakfast casserole! This one 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! We make it for brunch, holidays, and weekends (for breakfast OR dinner). 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 be made ahead of time (the night before) or easily whipped up right before baking – versatile AND delicious!

WHY WE 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!

    I found this recipe a couple yrs ago anD my son fell in love with it! Itโ€™s one of his fav go to meals for breakfast and dinner. The only thing I do different when i make it is that I use 2 cups of each cheese. I would definitely recommend this caSserole to anyone.

    I love this recipe. I’ve made it a few times now, adding new ingredients each time. I have noticed though, my biscuit dough always ends up at the top..which isnt so bad but I see your pictures it stays at the bottom of the dish. Any tips?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      That’s a good question?! I honestly don’t know why it would sink, versus coming to the top. It’s just how mine always turns out..haha.

    I cooked a pound of sausage before hand then followed the recipe. I did 30 minutes at 400ยฐ and it turned out perfectly! I’m also in co so at high altitude. It did puff up but did not spill over the sides. Delicious! I also add syrup to this as a topping (weird, I know) BUT oh so good!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Great idea!! I am so glad you liked it!! Thank you so much!

    My family went crazy for this! I used microwave brown and serve links chopped up and added a layer of green chilis. Baked for 30 mins at 425 and it was puffy and gorgeous. Served it with a bowl of warmed salsa. Perfect!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Sounds yum! Thank you for sharing what you did!

    I followed the instructions step by step for the 8×8/half but the middle was runny after 25 minutes. I couldnt cook it longer because the top would be burnt. HOw do i fix/stop this?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      All ovens vary, but you could lower the temp & cook a little longer. I hope that helps!
