Crafty Cook Makes 8 Breakfast 'Sandwiches' In Half The Time With A Fluffy Biscuit Casserole

Breakfast sandwiches are warm, cozy, and give the morning a hearty start — and YouTuber @KellsKitchenShow has a way to enjoy all your favorite breakfast sandwich flavors without having to assemble sandwiches one by one. In a YouTube video, she starts off a breakfast casserole by lining the bottom of a baking dish with precooked, frozen sausage patties (if you're a fan of the sausage in McDonald's breakfast sandwiches, try Walmart's Great Value brand for a similar taste). Next, she layers on eggs mixed with seasonings (onion and garlic powder, black pepper, and salt) and heavy cream, followed by eggs cracked directly into the dish, and cheddar cheese. Finally, she cracks open a can of refrigerated biscuit dough (we're big fans of Trader Joe's canned biscuits), places whole, uncooked biscuits on top of the casserole mix, then bakes it off.

The result? A breakfast sandwich-casserole that's super hearty and the perfect way to start a lazy weekend morning. You could also prepare and bake this casserole in advance to enjoy over the next few days — it would reheat easily in the microwave or toaster oven. While it's not a handheld breakfast, it certainly gives you the egg, cheese, sausage, and biscuit combination that you'd expect when grabbing a breakfast sandwich on the go. Let's take a look at some ways you could add some different flavors to make this dish your own.

There are a ton of different ways you can switch up some of the ingredients in this breakfast casserole to make it your own. If you're not a fan of sausage, you could try adding cubed ham or Canadian bacon (don't sleep on the Jones Dairy Farm Canadian Bacon at Costco) to the bottom of the dish. In the mood for a Western omelet-style twist? Try sauteing some peppers and onions and adding them to the eggs before you pour them into the pan. To spice it up, add some chopped jalapeños, or swap in pepper jack cheese for cheddar.

If you, like me, are a fan of the carbier side of breakfast, you can always double up on the biscuits. Cut them up into pieces with a pair of kitchen shears so they cover the entire surface of the casserole before you pop the dish into the oven. You could also go with different types of bread here — crescent roll dough would work well. If you're looking for a sweet twist and are feeling adventurous, you could also try using cinnamon rolls on top. Whether you stick to the original recipe or experiment with your own variations, this casserole will keep you fueled up all morning.
