Directions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Servings and timing

Serves: 6–8 people (Allrecipes ≈6 servings; Pioneer Woman: 8–10 generous servings)
Prep time: ~10–20 minutes
Bake time: 30–45 minutes
Total time: ~50–65 minutes, plus extra if baking cold/prepped night-before

Variations

Protein swaps: Use turkey sausage, Italian sausage, or chopped bacon.

Add-in mix-ins: Fold in diced onions, bell peppers, or cooked hash browns.
Use crescent rolls: Replace biscuits with crescent dough for a lighter texture.
Spice it up: Add a dash of Creole seasoning to sausage or egg mixture.

Storage/reheating

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
Freezing:
- Freeze individual slices for ~3 months.

Reheating tips: Microwave in 30‑second bursts or reheat in the oven to restore crispiness. Add a splash of milk to gravy if too thick.

FAQs

What size dish do I need?

A standard 9×13-inch (or 33×23 cm) baking dish is ideal—others may require adjusted bake times.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble, cover, and refrigerate overnight. When baking cold, add ~20 extra minutes and tent with foil if top browns too quickly.

Can I use homemade gravy instead of mix?

Absolutely. Combine butter, flour, milk, salt, and pepper—cook until thickened—and use it in place of packet gravy.

Is it freezer-friendly?

Yes. Freeze cooked leftovers or the fully assembled, baked casserole. Thaw before reheating.

What can I serve alongside?

Fruit salad, cinnamon rolls, hash browns, or potato galette make excellent companions.

Can I heat it from frozen?

If frozen assembled, thaw in fridge overnight before baking. If reheating frozen slices, microwave or bake until hot throughout.

Will biscuits get soggy overnight?

They absorb gravy over time. For crisper texture, bake fresh or add cheese just before baking.

Can you make it vegetarian?

Substitute sausage with plant-based sausages and veggie broth-based gravy; omit or swap cheese for vegan alternatives.

Can I bake in a slow cooker?

Yes. One reader cooked it on low for ~4 hours, adding biscuits at the end—texture differs but flavor is tasty.

How do I prevent over-browning?

Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too fast before eggs and biscuits cook through.
