Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Chop each biscuit into 6 to 8 pieces. Place chopped biscuits in the bottom of the baking dish.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until no longer pink and crumbled. Drain fat.
Sprinkle sausage over biscuits. Top sausage with shredded cheddar cheese.
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over biscuit mixture.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until eggs are set.
Notes:
I used frozen Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits. I baked them ahead of time and chopped them up when I was ready to make the casserole. I have not tried this casserole with baked refrigerated biscuits. The frozen buttermilk biscuits are nice and firm and hold up well in this casserole. The biscuits are best if you can make them a day or two in advance. Leftover biscuits work great! I've seen trays of prebaked Pillsbury biscuits at Sam's Club - they would be perfect for this casserole.
I used a roll of Jimmy Dean sausage for this casserole. You can substitute turkey sausage for the pork sausage in this recipe if you want to reduce the calories.
You can use any cheese that you prefer in place of the cheddar.
Can Breakfast Casserole be made in advance? Yes! You can assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight. You may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
Can You Freeze Sausage Biscuit Breakfast Casserole? Yes! You can assemble the casserole and freeze for later. You can freeze the casserole baked or unbaked.
To bake the casserole after freezing, thaw completely overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed below.
To reheat the casserole after freezing, thaw completely overnight in the refrigerator. Cover with foil and bake at 350ºF for 30 to 40 minutes.
