Why This Delicious Recipe Works
It's a breakfast casserole that's super simple to whip up, can be made the night before and ready in only 45 minutes. This Bubble Up Biscuit Casserole is a hearty breakfast that is great for a special occasion like Christmas morning, but it is simple enough to enjoy on a slow weekend morning.
Easy Casserole Ingredients
- Protein: cooked, bite sized pieces of bacon, breakfast sausage, and eggs.
- Biscuit: I used Grands biscuit dough.
- Milk
- Seasonings: garlic powder, salt, black pepper.
- Green onions or scallions
- Shredded cheese: Shred your own cheese, you can use cheddar cheese, mozzarella, a mix, or other cheese variety.
- Step 1: In a large skillet, add chopped bacon and cook until done. Remove cooked bacon and place in a paper towel to drain.
- Step 2: Add breakfast sausage to your 12-inch skillet and cook until crumbly. Remove cooked sausage and place on a plate.
- Step 3: Use paper towels to wipe out excess grease before adding cut biscuit quarters to the skillet.
- Step 4: Add cooked sausage to the biscuit dough.
- Step 5: In a large bowl, add eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Step 6: Pour egg mixture into the skillet with meat and biscuit pieces. Add shredded cheese to the mixture and bake. Add chopped bacon with green onions to the top as garnish, serve and enjoy.
Recipe Tips
- Leftover casserole should be cooled to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- You can freeze leftovers. I suggest cutting the casserole into individual portions and freezing them separately in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Then you can pull out just the amount of servings required for easy thawing and reheating.
- If you like a little heat, offer some hot sauce to serve with individual servings of this casserole.
- You can add some of your favorite homemade gravy with each serving if desired.
Recipe Faq's
If you find that your casserole is runny, it needs more time. If the biscuit dough isn't fully cooked it will need more time in the oven. Sometimes oven temperatures can vary a bit, and you may find that your casserole needs more time to bake to be safe to eat, but the biscuit dough is starting to brown. If this is the case, you can tent the skillet with aluminum foil so it can finish baking without burning the biscuits in the casserole.
Options are endless with easy recipes like this one! Try adding some cooked mushrooms, diced bell peppers, diced onion, and spinach to the egg mixture before baking. Whatever you typically like in omelet-type recipes will work in this egg breakfast casserole.
You can assemble this the night before and then bake in the morning. Once you've assembled it, cover the skillet with plastic wrap and foil and store in the fridge until the next morning. Before you're ready for breakfast, pull the skillet out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before baking for the suggested baking time.

I always make egg casseroles with two added ingredients. lawreys seasoning salt, and green peppers. also use 3/4:-cup of whole milk, and 1/2 cup half and half. just makes for a better tasting coating over sausage. Fixed it today this way..Delicious!!!!!
