Sausage Egg and Biscuit Casserole
This easy Sausage Egg Cheese Biscuit Casserole is a breakfast casserole we love to make on lazy weekends or during the summer. I love that it's super simple and only takes a few minutes to throw together. Even your little ones can help.
We love biscuits at our house. They are fluffy, warm and delicious and they work great as a base for this casserole. You can easily change up the flavors by swapping out the meat with ham, bacon, or a mix of all three.
Sausage Biscuit Casserole Ingredients
- Biscuits- I used the big homestyle flakey biscuits for this recipe. I also use a can of honey butter and a can of original biscuits. That's why the chunks of biscuits are different colors in the picture.
- Sausage- I used a Jimmy Dean Maple Sausage. You can use your favorite. Many stores have their own brand. The maple sausage adds just a little bit of a sweet component to the recipe.
- Eggs- any type of large grade A eggs work great.
- Cheese- Shredded cheddar cheese works great but you can sub that out for pepper jack, Monterey jack, or white cheddar.
- Milk- either whole milk or 2% milk will work great.
- Seasonings-onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, paprika, salt and pepper
How to Make This Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit Casserole
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Spray a 9 by 13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray
- In a saute pan, add the sausage and ¼ cup of water. Use a spoon to break up the sausage into small crumbles.
- Cook until the sausage is well done and is no longer pink.
- "pop" your cans of homestyle biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces.
- Lay your biscuits in your baking dish and add your sausage on top of that.
- Sprinkle half of the cheese on the biscuits and sausage.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs into the bowl and add the onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and biscuits. Add the remaining cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Take the foil off and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the top is golden.
- Be sure to test the center of the casserole to ensure it is baked all the way through. Cut into 15 squares. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Question
While you can assemble this Sausage Egg and Biscuit Casserole and immediately pop it in the oven, you don't have to. You can easily prep it completely, then cover and store in the fridge overnight to bake the next morning.
This recipe is delicious when made with Jimmy Dean Sausage. You can use just about any sausage here. Stores usually have their own brand and those work great too. I like to use a maple sausage flavor. The little bit of sweet with the savory meat and eggs is amazing, every bite is a delight.

I put the mils with the eggs, and I put most of the cheese in there except for the cheese on top of the sausage. The seasonings were also placed in the egg milk mixture. I ended up with only one can of the Honey Butter Grands so I used the same amount of eggs and milk but used a smaller sized pan, It’s in the oven, but it looks to be a 9X9. We love eggs and I have an over abundance of them, lol. I will let you know how it tastes in about 30 minutes!

As promised, I have come back to make a review. The recipe was ok, I believe it would be better without the large sized can of biscuits that I had… it just made for too gooey of a recipe and yes it was done. It also needed more Murph for us. I believe some sautéed onions or just diced onions and red bell peppers with red pepper flakes would have given it just the right umph needed. Now, I didn’t use a spicy sausage so that very well may have been the ticket. Still for me, my all time favorite is the old go to overnight breakfast casserole with bread instead of biscuits and if my memory serves me correctly, it also calls for more eggs. I hope this helps. Oh in defense of the recipe, my husband liked it. I gave it a three star rating strictly on my person preference of the biscuits being just too much and the seasonings not enough. Be Blessed!
