💭 Top Tips
- Choose the right biscuits: Flaky, buttery biscuits will add richness to your casserole. You can use store-bought biscuits or make them from scratch if you prefer.
- Precook the meat: Cook and crumble the sausage or bacon before adding it to the casserole. This helps ensure that the meat is fully cooked and adds a delicious savory flavor to the dish.
- Make it ahead: This casserole can be assembled the night before and refrigerated overnight. In the morning, simply bake it as directed for a hassle-free breakfast.
- Season well: Don't forget to season each layer with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will enhance the overall flavor of the casserole.
- Make your own country gravy. I always make my own, other than this casserole, which I'm using the package gravy for faster preparation.
- Let it rest: After baking the casserole, allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and allows the casserole to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
- If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
