BISCUITS AND GRAVY WITH SAUSAGE AND EGG BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

I’ve got an amazing Breakfast Casserole recipe to share with you today! This Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole is an easy breakfast dish made with biscuits, gravy, eggs, sausage, and cheese. This breakfast casserole is a must-make for any occasion, from large gatherings to a simple Sunday morning breakfast.

We’ve been hosting the family Thanksgiving for a few years now. The number of attendees varies from year to year, but our breakfast menu always stays the same!

My Dad is in charge of breakfast, and he makes his famous Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole recipe (that’s a mouthful, isn’t it, lol.)

This egg casserole recipe is a lot like the bubble-up breakfast casserole recipes that were made popular by Pillsbury and Weight Watchers several years ago. This particular version is so much more delicious as it includes double the sausage, cheese, and of course, GRAVY!

My Dad assembles the casserole at his house (it’s chaos-free over there) and brings it over to my kitchen to bake.
