Quick 4 Ingredient Sausage Breakfast Casserole
This recipe is a true lifesaver for busy mornings. You only need four ingredients to make a complete and satisfying breakfast casserole that everyone will enjoy.
Key Ingredients & Tips for your Sausage Casserole
- Sausage Choice: I like using a mild breakfast sausage, but spicy can add a nice kick. Cook it fully before adding to the casserole.
- Crescent Roll Dough: This forms the delicious, flaky base of your casserole. Press it evenly into the baking dish for a good foundation.
- Cheese Selection: Cheddar is a classic, but feel free to use a blend like Monterey Jack for extra creaminess.
What You Need for this Simple Breakfast
- 1 pound cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
⏱️ Time: 35 minutes🍽️ Yields: 6 servings
How to Make This Easy Casserole
Step 1: Prep and Press Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish, pinching seams together to seal.
Step 2: Layer and Pour
Sprinkle the cooked, crumbled sausage and half of the shredded cheese over the crescent roll dough. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layers.
Step 3: Bake and Serve
Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
📝 Final Note
This casserole is best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
Classic Bisquick Breakfast Casserole with Sausage
Using Bisquick mix makes this breakfast casserole incredibly simple to prepare. It’s fluffy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, a perfect breakfast or brunch dish for any day.
Key Ingredients & Tips for this Bisquick Bake
- Bisquick Mix: This is your secret ingredient for a light and fluffy texture. It combines the flour, leavening, and fat for you.
- Milk Variety: Whole milk works best for richness, but you can use 2% or even unsweetened almond milk if you prefer.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add chopped bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra color and nutrients. Just sauté them before adding.
What You Need for Your Bisquick Breakfast
- 1 pound cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled and drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
⏱️ Time: 45 minutes🍽️ Yields: 8 servings
How to Make This Hearty Dish
Step 1: Prepare and Combine
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually add the Bisquick mix, stirring until just combined and smooth.
Step 2: Add Fillings
Stir in the cooked, crumbled sausage and 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the Bisquick mixture. Pour this entire mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking for a perfectly melted finish.
📝 Final Note
For a make-ahead option, you can assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate it. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
