I love how easily it comes together with a handful of great ingredients. I’m able to quickly assemble the casserole and pop it in the oven.

Now, let’s talk about this delicious and easy brunch option!
Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Sausage Breakfast Casserole
- 1 pound Jimmy Dean Refrigerated Roll Sausage
- 8 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1.5 cups mild cheddar cheese
- 1 16oz can refrigerated biscuit dough (I used flaky butter flavored)
- 2 cups sausage gravy (ingredients below!)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Chopped green onion for garnish
For the sausage gravy:
- Grease from 1 pound Jimmy Dean Refrigerated Roll Sausage
- 2 tablespoons bacon grease OR butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3 cups milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Easy Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet brown 1 pound Jimmy Dean Refrigerated Roll Sausage over medium heat. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of bacon grease OR butter to the pan. Once melted, whisk in 1/4 cup flour. The grease and flour will form a paste. Slowly whisk in milk. Continue whisking until no lumps remain. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gravy over medium-low heat until thickened, about 15 minutes
While the gravy is cooking, whisk together eggs and 2/3 cup milk. Add salt and pepper. Add cheese and sausage to the eggs and mix well.
Spray 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Tear biscuits in to small pieces and place them in the 9×13 baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the biscuits.
Pour 2 cups of gravy evenly on top of the casserole. Reserve remaining gravy to serve with the casserole.
Bake casserole for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
Serve warm. You can choose to garnish with chopped green onion and top with remaining gravy as well.
Everyone I have made this breakfast for has loved it.
When I’m serving a crowd, I like to give guests bowl of yogurt and fruit as well.
Although this casserole is certainly hearty enough to be enjoyed alone!
Our gang will soon be gathered around, eating delicious food and sharing stories. I can’t wait for the new memories we’ll be making together.
I hope your family is able to enjoy every magical second of the season this year — and of course, this easy sausage breakfast casserole recipe as well!

soooo delicious! my family loved it!
I’m guessing you cooked the biscuits first? Recipe list calls out dough, but pics look like it’s cooked and that makes more sense to me. Do you put biscuit dough in or cooked biscuits?
Thanks!
Hey, Todd – you’ll put the dough in and it will bake along with the eggs! Enjoy 🙂
This sounds delicious! I am getting ready to fix it but I have one question. Do you use all the sausage grease plus add bacon grease or butter?
Yes!
Fantastic! Everyone was looking for seconds!
Can you make this the night before/refrigerate and cook the next morning?
Yes! Enjoy!
