I love making breakfast casseroles – they always end up being pretty gosh darn awesome

Funny little story for you all – you see that casserole above the one that is meant for 6 VERY hungry people. My husband ate it all over the course of one hour. Yes the whole casserole in ONE HOUR!!! He could not have enough – he said it is one of his favorite recipes I make

And it is SO easy I can easily make it anytime 🙂

This bake has EVERYTHING – sausage, eggs, hash browns, peppers, and pancake mix all baked together

This is the perfect Sunday dish for the family – I am thinking about making it for Christmas morning …. shhhh do not tell my husband I want it to be a surprise

Now let’s check out some finished pictures

Can you see what is on my napkin in the picture — if you know make sure to leave a comment

I forgot to mention how frugal this dish is to make — I would say it cost under $6 to make so about $1 per person 🙂

The black parts in the picture are sausage – not burn marks 😉

Enjoy The Recipe Loves!

I have made something very similar (no bisquick) in a crock pot and it always pleases whatever crowd I am trying to feed!!

Looks like a owl on the towel

That would be an owl. I love making these and taking them to work. They don’t last long and so easy to make.

Do you think you could use gluten free bisquick?
- Watson
  Yep
June M.
What a cute owl on your napkin 🙂 Are the eyes beaded or embroidered? Either way, very cute! And the recipe looks delicious. I will have to try this one!
Keisha B.
I tried this but I am not a fan of the bisquick! (sorry) I may try it again later and omit that part.
Amy
Looks delicious and I definitely want to try it – but what’s Bisquick? I don’t think we have an equivalent in the uk.
- Watson
  It is a pancake mix — you can use a pancake mix instead
- Amy
  Thanks! I think I’ll try Amy’s recipe down there.

Instead of Bisquick I use a homemade version. I try to avoid processed food as much as I can. In place of the 1 cup of Bisquick, you can use: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 T. sugar(optional), 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 T. vegetable oil. Mix together and then add remaining ingredients from recipe. I also made into a vegetarian version by omitting the sausage and adding mushroom and onion. Still very delicious and simple to make! kids loved it.
Susanna
This was an awesome recipe! I made it for church this morning and everybody agreed! Thank you!

Have you tried making this the night before? We’re doing a road trip with thanksgiving in our LITTLE motor home and I want to do as much food prep before as I can.

  It could work I never tried it though

A couple of things you didn’t cover so I just guessed. Everything I’ve ever made with Bisquick in the past says batter will be lumpy so when I poured it out on top of the other ingredients it had little tiny (1/4cm) spots of wet powder. I would like to know if that was what you get when you make the recipe. Also should it be on the top rack or the middle rack in the oven? Clarification would be appreciated. I did see the comment below someone already asked what size of dish that you used and that was extremely helpful to know.

I think there is something wrong first one was way over cooked but got no photos.
This time oven was 375° and we cooked for 30 minutes. Still looks overdone see photo .
Not inedible but not appetizing either
K.C. Beecham
What would be your suggestions into turning this into a freezer meal? Make according to the recipe, freezer completely once cooled, and then reheat? Have you ever tried making and freezing this casserole before?
