Helpful Tips
- For an extra kick, swap out the mild pork sausage for hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture.
- To ensure the biscuit pieces bake through fully, avoid packing them too tightly at the bottom of the dish.
- Make it ahead by assembling the entire casserole the night before, covering it tightly with foil, and storing it in the refrigerator. In the morning, bake it for an extra 5 to 10 minutes.
- Try adding veggies like diced bell peppers, onions, or sliced mushrooms by sautéing them with the sausage before adding them to the casserole.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground sausage until completely browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Cut each of the refrigerated biscuits into 8 equal-sized pieces. Lay the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Scatter the cooked sausage over the biscuit pieces, then sprinkle 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture slowly and evenly over the biscuits, sausage, and cheese in the baking dish.
- Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the biscuits are golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, let it cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
