How To Make My Savory Breakfast Casserole

It’s very simple to make this Bisquick breakfast casserole!

1. Brown and break up your sausage, then set it on a plate lined with a paper towel so the excess fat can be absorbed.
2. Beat your eggs, then add milk, salt, and mustard. Mix it thoroughly.
3. Grease your casserole dish. Then sprinkle the Bisquick mix evenly across the bottom.
4. Sprinkle your cooked sausage across the top of the Bisquick. Then spread the shredded cheese on top of the sausage.

What To Serve With This Easy Breakfast Recipe

To serve this sausage and cheese casserole to overnight guests, I like to balance it out with fruit salad, or simply a platter of fresh fruit already cut up and ready to go.

This egg bake also works great for brunch parties alongside banana bread or cinnamon rolls.

What To Do With Leftover Sausage Egg Casserole

If you have leftover casserole, simply place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will be good for a few days.

You can pop your leftovers in the microwave to reheat them, or place them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for ten minutes or so.

Reheating leftover casserole in the oven helps it to keep it’s crispy base.

How Far Ahead Of Time Can I Make This Casserole?

This recipe is intended to be made ahead of time, but just how far ahead of time can you make it? Quite a bit!

The uncooked casserole can be made and sitting in the fridge for a couple of days before you bake it.

Need more time than that? Simply make the casserole, cook it, and then pop it in the freezer where it can last for months.

When you need a quick breakfast dish, pull it out, let it thaw, then pop it in the oven until it’s warm through.

Ways To Change Up My Easy Breakfast Casserole Recipe

• Change up your base! I like to use a Bisquick mixture, but you can also make a bottom layer with pieces of white bread, torn up leftover biscuits, or even hash browns or tater tots.
• Add some vegetables! Anything you’d add to an omelet will work great i this recipe. Think bell peppers, yellow onion, diced mushrooms, green onions. It’s a great way to use up any little odds and ends in your fridge and pantry.
• Swap the meat! Maybe you’re not a sausage fan. You can use ground beef, ham, or bacon in this recipe as well. There are many flavor options!
• Make it spicy! If you typically like your scrambled eggs with a little spice, try adding green chilies and a dash of hot sauce.
• Turn them into muffins! This turns the recipe into perfect individual servings, perfect for brunch family gatherings.

Top Tips For Best Results

• For extra flavor, use maple syrup flavored breakfast sausage. It adds just a hint of that syrup taste, without your children wanting to douse the whole casserole with it.
• Add a spoonful of sour cream to your egg mixture. This helps to keep your casserole moist, and adds just a bit of tanginess.

• Your egg mixture will be more hom*ogeneous if you let your eggs come up to room temperature before starting to beat them.
• Everyone’s oven is different. If you find your casserole tends to get too brown too quick along the edges, cover it with aluminum foil when you first put it in the oven and remove it halfway through the baking time.
• Egg bakes tend to stick to the edges of the pan, even if you spray it with nonstick cooking spray beforehand. For casserole pieces that come out easily, swap your vegetable oil or cooking spray for a solid fat. Vegetable shortening, butter, or saved bacon grease are perfect for this.
