Easy Bacon Breakfast Casserole for Your Morning
This hearty casserole brings together crispy bacon, eggs, and cheese in one simple dish. It’s a fantastic make-ahead option that tastes great for breakfast or brunch.
Key Ingredients & Tips for This Breakfast Casserole
- Cook Bacon First: Make sure your bacon is nice and crispy before adding it. This stops it from becoming soggy in the casserole.
- Shred Your Own Cheese: Freshly shredded cheese melts better and has a nicer texture than pre-packaged options.
- Overnight Prep: You can assemble this easy breakfast casserole the night before and bake it in the morning. Just add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
What You Need for Bacon Breakfast Casserole
- 12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
⏱️ Time: 45 minutes🍽️ Yields: 6-8 servings
How to Make Bacon Breakfast Casserole
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. This will help prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Eggs and Bacon
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined. Stir in the crumbled bacon, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Bake the Casserole
Pour the egg mixture into your prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set up nicely and makes it easier to cut.
📝 Final Note on This Easy Breakfast Meal
For a little extra zing, try adding a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture before baking. It adds a nice warmth!
Comforting Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Casserole
This comforting breakfast casserole combines fluffy biscuits, creamy sausage gravy, and eggs into one amazing dish. It’s perfect for a weekend brunch or a special morning meal.
Key Ingredients & Tips for This Delicious Breakfast Casserole
- Use Store-Bought Biscuits: Canned biscuits work perfectly here and make prep super easy. Just cut them into quarters.
- Season Your Gravy: Don’t be shy with the black pepper in the gravy! It makes a big difference in flavor and really makes this comfort food shine.
- Pre-Cook Sausage: Make sure your sausage is fully cooked and drained before adding it to the gravy. This prevents a greasy final dish.
What You Need for Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits), cut into quarters
- 6 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- For the Gravy:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
⏱️ Time: 55 minutes🍽️ Yields: 8-10 servings
How to Make This Comforting Breakfast Casserole
Step 1: Cook Sausage and Make Gravy
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease. Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Prepare Biscuits and Eggs
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the quartered biscuits in a single layer at the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. In a bowl, whisk the 6 eggs with 1 cup of milk.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuits. Then, pour the egg and milk mixture over the gravy. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and the eggs are set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
