Just saw this recipe and it is definitely going on the menu this week!!
This is my favorite breakfast recipe! I make it 3 times a month!
we make this as a breakfast for dinner very filling and any leftovers are gone at breakfast the next day
Could you make this with homemade biscuits from a baking mix?
I haven’t tried it but I think it would still work great! Thank you.
Hello, I would like to know, if there it’s possible that I can make this dish the “night before” WITHOUT freezing it, (just covering and popping it in the fridge over night and baking it in the morning when I get up 🙂 Thanks for your input!
BTW, I LOVE your Facebook page, I am always getting recipes off it and making tons of new stuff. My family is now so over joyed with my new and improved cooking skills + the amazing meals/desserts I’ve been experimenting with! LOL
Could this be made ahead and frozen?
I think that it would be fine to freeze the biscuits and cooked sausage but I would still make the gravy the day that I cook this casserole.
Made this with honey butter biscuits and it was great ? ? ! Thanks
this is a family sunday favorite. its a very delish dish and cant wait to taste it again
I’m glad you enjoyed it Stephanie! 🙂
