Just made this as a trial run before serving to holiday visitors! It was wonderful! My hubby gave it a big vote of approval.
I did let it broil for a couple minutes at the end with the foil off. I liked the crunchy finish. May try it with gravy mix made separately and put on top after it bakes.
Thanks for the recipe!
Anyone ever tried making this the night before then adding the gravy mixture in the morning before baking? I already added the eggs/milk but after reading comments about it being too soggy getting it ready the night before, I think I’m going to leave off the gravy mixture until the morning & see what happens?!
How did this turn out making it the night before?
Just found your recipe.I have it in the oven now.I added sweet onion and diced yellow peppers.Can’t wait to try.
Can you cook it in a crock pot casserole and how long will it take to cook
I’m going to try that tonight! I’m going to do low for 6 hours as that’s how long most breakfast casseroles take. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Hi Megan how did it work in the crockpot?
I made this a week ago first time for company. Was worried it wouldn’t cook all the way through but it took every bit of an hour or a little more and was very tasty. I used mild sausage but probably should have used a sausage with more seasoning. I will make again!
Nothing worse than having company over and then worrying if it’ll turn out okay! So glad this was successful for you!
I just made this and made one VITAL mistake. I forgot to cover it while baking. Nooooooo! It’s doughy on the inside but crisp on top. Still good but not great, totally on me though. I’ll try again because it really is good!
Can this recipe be frozen ?
The grandkids loved it. Had some leftovers and a few day later my 3 year old wanted pancakes. Chopped up some leftovers and reheated in the microwave. Topped with maple syrup and walla… happy 3 year old (and me, it was delicious).
Thanks so much for posting!
I didn’t have gravy mix, so started by combining a light roux with 2c milk…
can you make this ahead, freeze for a week & thaw and cook? It looks amazing!
SO. GOOD. I have made it twice. Second time I added onions. Such a pleaser all around. My 2 year old nephew always wants seconds! TRY IT!!!
Love the addition of onions!! Thanks so much Kat!
I have made and baked this same day many times, always a hit! But was wondering if you can freeze it?? I noticed several people asked but nobody has responded. Has anyone tried this? How did it turn out? Thoughts? Thanks!
I just made this for dinner and it turned out amazing! However, I did make a couple minor changes to the recipe. I added about a half cup more cheese. I didn’t have a packet of gravy so I made my own and just drizzled the finished gravy over the top. I didn’t have a glass pan so I used a metal cake pan and covered it with aluminum foil before putting it into the oven. I was worried about the biscuits burning on the bottom so I changed the bake time a bit. I baked it on 350 for about 39 minutes but the center wasnt done so I removed the aluminum foil and moved it to the top rack and put it on a low broil for about 10 minutes. This made the top brown just a tiny bit and it came out absolutely fantastic! The biscuits were perfectly brown and everything baked together wonderfully. I will definitely make this again and again. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
Delicious!!!
I just made this for a brunch and it was delicious! I followed the recipe and directions exactly (although I admit I was worried about all the liquid) and it cooked up beautifully. Everyone else’s comments were helpful, too. I sprayed the foil to keep the cheese from sticking. Thank you for this recipe! I will be making the this again!
I have made This several time. You have time later is exactly how it says and no you can’t make it ahead fit the next day. Dough will be soggy. Same if you don’t put the cheese on top of the sausage before the egg mixture. I have learned this over time with making it several times. It reheated well. I have never froze. Seems like in the past I made the gravy before pouring it on. But I’ll try it without cooking it first this time. So yummy
Ok, just made mine tonight and taking it to work tomorrow. I used turkey sausage instead of regular sausage and I added onions, green pepper and a jalapeno. I’ll let you know how it turned out 🙂
Can this be made ahead of time and frozen for a later date.?
Need some advice. I just made this and the bottom, the eggs, were very wet. I’ve made this recipe for years without the gravy mix, so I must’ve done something wrong when doing the gravy water combo. Anyone have any tips?
What oven temp to cook at??? Did I miss this somewhere?
You did! 🙂 It’s on the very first line of the recipe directions (350f)
Hi this looks delicious! It’s in the oven now, the only thing I did differently is I used frozen biscuits but thawed them first, hope it comes out like it should.
Hi this looks delicious! It’s in the oven now, the only thing I did differently is I used frozen biscuits but thawed them first, hope it comes out like it should. Ok update. It’s good. Somehow the egg went to the bottom and cooked and the top wound up cooked biscuit… perfection. But this dish poofed up and got stuck to the foil and ripped the top layer off. So spray the foil with cooking spray or whatnot
How long does it take to reheat. My daughter will be reheating this by herself in the morning so I need to know a time and temperature so she will get up in time.
I don’t have the gravy packet. Is it OK to omit the gravy and if so do I omit the water also?
Help I did not have gravy and it is in the oven . Hope it comes out good without it.
How did it turn out without the gravy?
The water is only to mix the gravy in. Gravy packets say use 2 cups of water. So if no gravy there is no water
Perfect answer – thank you Rachel! 🙂
So good, made a miniature test batch tonight. I added chicken sausage, mushrooms, red peppers and spinach. Very tasty!
What amount of spinach did you add?
About a handful or so. ????
I just finished serving this for dinner tonight! Amazing…..my husband had thirds. I was using him as a guinea pig to test for family breakfast coming up in a few weeks. Loved it! Only thing is the first ingredient of the gravy packet…would there be any other way we could make our own gravy?
Hi Janet! Yay! So happy you loved it! You could certainly make your own gravy for this 🙂
I love this is add diced red and green peppers dieced onion about 1/ 2 lb of bacon crooked crumbled 1/2 lb of diced ham and hash browns as well to it
