Grands Biscuit Breakfast Casserole

Why make this casserole? Casseroles are famous for their convenience and the minimal preparation involved. Since the oven does most of the work, making a casserole is a real time-saver. This breakfast casserole is super convenient because it uses ready-made biscuits. If you are a busy mom, this means you can always serve a warm and delicious breakfast or brunch without stress.

The refrigerated biscuits in this recipe mean you don't have to knead, wait for dough to rise, or spend time rolling out dough. I'll even share how you can assemble the casserole the night before and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it in the morning.

This recipe is very versatile. You can add veggies, use turkey bacon, change up the cheese, and more to make it suit various tastes and dietary needs.

Ingredients for Biscuit Breakfast Casserole

• Grands biscuits - I used a 16.3 oz can of Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuit dough. One can comes with 8 biscuits, but you only need 6 for this recipe.
• Large Eggs - You will get the best results if the eggs are at room temperature.
• Milk - Whole milk or 2% milk works as does almond milk if you are looking for a dairy-free alternative.
• Shredded cheddar cheese - Feel free to use any type of shredded cheese you prefer such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a bit of a kick.
• Bacon - Cooked and crumbled. Substitute turkey bacon if you don't eat pork.
• Salt and pepper

How to Make Biscuit Breakfast Casserole Recipe

This recipe could not be easier. You start with a can of biscuit dough. 8 biscuits typically come in a can but you will only use 6 biscuits for this recipe. I find that more biscuits cause the casserole to be too doughy.

Cut up the biscuits into smaller pieces and place them in a casserole dish. These will be the base of the casserole. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. This egg mixture then gets poured over the biscuits.

What is breakfast without bacon? Don't worry, the bacon is coming! Sprinkle the cooked crumbled bacon on top and add a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese which will give your casserole a pretty golden crust.

Bake this easy breakfast casserole until the eggs are set and then let it cool a little before slicing. Once you taste this easy breakfast recipe I am sure it will be something you make again and again.

Using ready-made biscuits offers a lot of convenience, but if you prefer to make biscuits from scratch, you can do that as well. I love this Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe from Tastes Better From Scratch. You may have to adjust the cooking time of the casserole since homemade dough bakes a bit differently.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days.

You can also freeze this casserole. After it has cooled completely, cut it into individual portions and then store in a zip top bag. To reheat from frozen, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and then bake until heated through.

Tips for Making Canned Biscuit Breakfast Casserole

Tip 1: Let canned biscuits come to room temperature before cutting them up. This will help them rise more when baking.

Tip 2: Make sure to keep an eye on your casserole towards the end of the baking time. You don't want the biscuits and cheese on the top to get too brown. If you notice this happening before the rest of the casserole is done cooking, you can cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

What Recipes Can I Make With Biscuits?

I just love the versatility of biscuits. The options are almost endless when you start with just a single can of biscuits. You can make sweet or savory treats or a comforting recipe that the whole family will love. Who knew that canned biscuits could inspire so much kitchen creativity?

These are some of my favorite recipes you can make with biscuits:

• Sausage, Egg and Biscuit Breakfast Casserole
• Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts
• Pizza Biscuits
• TikTok Biscuits and Gravy Casserole from The Wooden Spoon Effect
