Here’s What You Need

  • Shredded hash browns: The starchy base that holds the casserole together and adds a crispy texture.
  • Biscuit dough: Adds fluffiness and absorbs flavors, acting as the comfort element of the dish.
  • Eggs: Acts as a binder for the casserole and provides protein and richness.
  • Cheddar cheese: Adds a creamy, sharp flavor, and helps in binding the ingredients together.
  • Heavy cream: Contributes to the fluffiness and creaminess of the eggs.
  • Bacon: Infuses the dish with a smoky, savory flavor and adds a bit of crunch.
  • Breakfast sausage: Brings in extra protein and spices, enhancing the overall savory profile.
  • Onion: Adds a touch of sweetness and sharpness, balancing the fatty elements.
  • Garlic powder: Gives the dish a quick and easy boost of garlic flavor.
  • Salt & Pepper: Fundamental seasonings that enhance all the other flavors in the dish.

First up, I started my breakfast casserole with a layer of hash browns. Oh yeah, you heard that right. Hash browns as the foundation mean you’re setting yourself up for success. Next, I added a layer of biscuits because what’s a breakfast bake without the classic comfort of biscuits?

Then, I threw in some bacon, onions, and sausage. A trifecta of flavor, if you ask me. To make things even more exciting, I scrambled some eggs and mixed in cheese. Because, let’s be real, eggs and cheese are like the Batman and Robin of breakfast foods.

Finally, I topped it all off with another layer of hash browns and let it cook until it turned a lovely shade of golden brown. Trust me on this; this breakfast bake is the ultimate cure for any morning blues, hangovers included.

Tips & Tricks for Breakfast Bakes

  • Choose Quality Sausage: A flavorful breakfast sausage will elevate the entire dish. If you want less grease, consider turkey sausage.
  • Check Biscuit Doneness: Sometimes the biscuits can take longer to cook in the middle of the casserole. If they’re still doughy, extend the baking time.
  • Shredded vs. Cubed Hash Browns: Shredded hash browns will give a crispier texture, while cubed hash browns will be softer. Pick according to your preference.
  • Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix in some other types of cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavors.
  • Control Saltiness: If your bacon and sausage are already salty, be cautious when adding extra salt.
  • Frozen Hash Browns: If using frozen hash browns, make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • Egg Substitute: If you’re out of eggs, a mixture of silken tofu and baking powder can act as a binder, though the flavor will differ.
  • Prep Ahead: You can prepare the meat and hash brown layers ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Just add the egg mixture right before baking.
  • Baking Dish Size: Ensure you’re using the recommended casserole dish size for even cooking. If you’re using a smaller or larger dish, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Oven Calibration: Ovens can run hot or cold. If you know your oven’s quirks, adjust the temperature or cooking time as needed.

Enjoy!
