    Why I Love this Sausage Biscuit Casserole Recipe

    Biscuit Casserole Substitutions and Alterations

    • Canned biscuits - there really isn't a substitute for this. I have not tried it with homemade biscuits.
    • Breakfast sausage - you can replace the breakfast sausage with any of your favorite breakfast meats like ham or ground turkey sausage.
    • Eggs - I don't recommend replacing the eggs for egg whites or egg substitute. It does not result in the same texture or consistency.
    • Cheese - You can omit the cheese entirely if you'd prefer not to have it.

    Breakfast Biscuit Casserole FAQs

    • To make this dairy-free, be sure to use dairy-free biscuits and dairy-free cheese. You can also omit the cheese entirely.
    • Be sure to use a flavorful breakfast sausage. If you do, you don't need to add extra seasoning to the eggs.
    • If your breakfast sausage is really fatty, be sure to drain off the grease after cooking. You don't want it in the casserole.
    • We like Pillsbury Grands biscuits the best, but any of your favorite canned biscuits will work.
    Do I have to whisk the eggs?

    Yes, in order for it to cook properly and evenly you need to whisk them prior to adding.

    Can I replace the breakfast sausage with a different meat?

    Yes, just be sure to precook the meat before adding it in.

    Can I freeze a breakfast casserole with biscuits?

    Yes, you can freeze this biscuit casserole. After baking, allow the casserole to cool completely. Once cooled, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.

    Can you freeze unused canned biscuits?

    Yes, unused canned biscuits can be frozen. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and freeze them individually in the freezer. Once completely frozen, remove them from the baking sheet and place them in a freezer safe ziploc bag or airtight container. You can store them in the freezer up to 6 months.

    How long do canned biscuits last in the refrigerator?

    An unopened container of canned biscuits should be used by the expiration date. For baked canned biscuits, you can place them in the refrigerator and they will stay fresh up to 4 days.

    How to serve Breakfast Biscuit Casserole

    Breakfast casserole is great on its own, but also goes really well with country gravy on top. You can make this to take to your next potluck breakfast, or serve it for the holidays.

    How to Make Ahead and Store Breakfast Casserole with Canned Biscuits

    You can store this cooked casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. You can also freeze the entire casserole for later.

    How to Reheat a Breakfast Casserole Recipe with Biscuits

    From frozen, you will need to let the casserole thaw before heating to maintain the proper texture. Once thawed (or pulled from the refrigerator) I recommend reheating this in the microwave 45 seconds at a time covered with a damp paper towel.

      It’s an amazing recipe, wonderfully simple and delicious. However I did find that I needed to cook it a little longer than 20 minutes for the eggs to be done, perhaps because I added onions and peppers to the mix or the temperature of the biscuits. I’d use room-temp biscuits and room- temp eggs.

        Thanks so much for your kind comment! The onions and peppers will add moisture, so very likely the reason it needed additional time. I'm so glad you liked it! The addition of onions and peppers sounds delicious.

          Thanks for the reply, I didn’t think about the added moisture so thanks for the tip. I used poblano peppers and a yellow onion and the mixture was wonderful. I also used vegan sausage (Beyond brand) and it was perfect. I want to try one with broccoli and cheddar, and another with spinach/tomato.

        I have a question, wondering if anyone could help me. If I Have one can of biscuits & We eat bacon not sausage. It's a household of 2 ppl. How can I make this recipe? I do have a smaller pan. Obviously I would cut the biscuits but how many eggs would I use instead? & Pre-cook the bacon. Would I put the bacon in substitution of where you put the sausage? Or would I sprinkle it on top? What would the oven temp be? And how long would I cook it for? I would greatly appreciate any feedback from ANYONE! TYVM!! CAT

          Hi Cindy. I would definitely pre-cook the bacon. Where it goes in the casserole would be your preference. If you put it where the sausage normally is, it'll be a bit softer. If you sprinkle it on top, it'll be a bit crispier. Just personal preference. In terms of cooking time and the number of eggs, that greatly depends on the size of the dish you'd be using.
