Hi,
Can you make this without the gravy? If so, do you increase the eggs or milk in the recipe?
Thanks,
Sue
We love this recipe! I’ve made it twice since Christmas morning. I don’t make any modifications to the recipe.
If I add peppers and onions, should I cook first?
I didn’t write this recipe but as someone who cooks a lot, I’d say cooking it’s always best to pre cook the onion, peppers, mushrooms, etc. it just makes it taste better overall.
I would cook the onions and peppers with the sausage.
A little trick I learned to cut up biscuits like this super fast is to use a pizza cutter. Saves me a lot of hassle.
This is a staple at our Easter Brunch – everyone enjoys!!
Woo hoo!! Love hearing that Lisa!! Thanks so much!
Mine expanded a lot! And 55 minutes definitely wasn’t enough time to fully cook the biscuits with all the liquid. But I love this recipe! So good.
Late Saturday night, I realized I was to take a dish for our Sunday School class Fellowship Breakfast the next morning. Low on pantry supplies and 26 miles from the nearest grocery store, I started looking for something to fix. Your recipe sounded awesome although I knew I would have to substitute a few items. So, I used frozen biscuits in place of the wompums (I partially thawed them in the fridge overnight and then set them out for an hour before making it), sharp cheddar in place of the other cheeses, and I made homemade gravy from a Southern Living book I had. It looked messy, but tasted great. (I made this in a glass casserole dish that was 8 x 11.5. It was too close to the top and bubbled over while cooking) This recipe received a lot of compliments from the class. I am adding it to my favorite recipes cookbook. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I love how you made it your own. You can never go wrong making your own gravy! Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment!
This has been my go to egg bake for awhile now. It’s always a huge hit! This time I need a gluten free option… do you think I could cook hasbrowns and lay them down first in place of the biscuits?
I love the recipe as is but have to make this modification.
Thanks!
I use this recipe a lot, I cook for 7 people so I add more cheese, a couple more eggs and use two packets of gravy mix. My bunch loves gravy.
I’m heading on vacation to a small cabin on a lake in want to make some breakfast casseroles ahead of time and freeze them. Ideally I’ll get them into the fridge the night before to thaw a slight bit if I can, but most likely I’ll pull them out the morning of and bake. I plan to use foil pans so I don’t have to worry about the glass being cold and getting thrown into a hot oven. What are your suggestions for cook time? Obviously it will need to be far longer cooking from frozen, but I also wonder if I should lower the temp so that I don’t burn the outside? If anyone has any thoughts/suggestions, please let me know! Thank you!
Hi Cali! Hopefully someone on here can give you some pointers. I’ve never cooked this from frozen so I honestly can’t give proper direction on that. My guess would be to leave it covered in foil for the first part of cooking and start by adding 10-15 minutes onto the cooking time. Same temperature and go from there. Sorry I am not more help!
Thank you for replying! I’ll come back and let you know what ended up working and how it turned out! I’m so excited to try this one. If it works out from frozen then I think it’ll be nice to keep one in the freezer in case I end up having unexpected guests.
Hi Cali! I’m leaving camping next week and going to cabin with 20; I would love to prepare and freeze this ahead of time! Have you gone your trip yet? Are you able to offer any tips? Thanks!
This sounds yummy! Can this be assembled the night before, refrigerated. Pull, counter rest 1/2-3/4 hr. Then bake
Hi Roberta, yes you can. You’ll just need to add on to the cooking time since you are cooking it straight from the refrigerator. The main goal is to make sure you get those biscuits in the center totally cooked. 🙂
I have made this a couple times. The only thing I do different is I don’t put the gravy mixture on top before I bake it. I cook the gravy then pour it on top after I take it out of the oven. My husband loves it. Thank you for the great recipe
Hi there! This looks and sounds amazing. One question. One family nenber hates anything that comes out like dumplings, it’s a texture thing. Will the biscuits be that consistency with the liquid? Thank you!!
Would this work overnight in a slow cooker?
Hi Steven! I haven’t tested it in a slow cooker – I’m sorry!
Can out refreeze after cooking ? There’s just the two of us, and sounds like something I wouldn’t mind having a piece throughout the week. Beth
Please produce by email, not letting me click on that option
Hi Beth – I haven’t tried to freeze it after cooking so I can’t say for certain. If you do – please let me know!
This is excellent! I’ve made it a couple times, but the last time I used a plain sausage. So I have a question! When you say “hot sausage”, do you mean hot as in spicy?? I’m making this for a crowd this coming weekend. Would love to know if that means spicy.
Thanks!
Kayla
Hi Kayla, yes, it is spicy sausage. Although most sausages will say on the packaging that it is “Hot” – honestly, I am sensitive to spicy hot foods and even the hot sausage isn’t all that hot or spicy at all. Just adds a slight kick of flavor. 🙂
THANK YOU!! I will be sure to get the Hot/Spicy sausage 🙂
I believe it is intended to be spicy sausage. I just use Jimmy Deans HOT sausage, cook it and throw it in there. 🙂
I was looking for a recipe without onions and bell peppers so this fit the menu. I had six turkey sausage links (brown and serve) so that part was covered. Country gravy? Well all I had was pork gravy and didn’t think it would fit so I went online and got a recipe for country gravy; it made 4 cups so I used 2 cups for the casserole; very easy. I microwaved the sausage for 1 min. then cut them up in small pieces. As for the cheese; I had some cheddar and mozzarella and used that. I did have a roll of the jumbo biscuits so that worked fine. It is in the oven baking while I type this. My husband “LOVES” biscuits and gravy and I am an omelet person. I wish I would have had a roll of Jimmy Dean hot sausage because it isn’t hot, just flavorful. I stuff mushrooms with it for the holidays and it is always a favorite. Pull stems out and stuff caps and bake on 350 for about 25 min. til sausage looks brown. Put them on a plate and put toothpicks in and you have a wonderful appetizer. Very good! Yes, JD sausage would add more flavor but my kids love it less spicy so I will go with that. Thanks for the great Sunday morning casserole.
