Breakfast Casserole - Sausage Egg Biscuit Casserole - The Hillbilly Kitchen

howdy folks and welcome to the OU lele kitchen today we're going to be making a sausage breakfast casserole okay this is a really basic casserole and you can add lots of stuff to it but we're doing the basic casserole today and this is a sausage egg and biscuit casserole and we're going to put a little cheese in it that's optional you don't have to do that if you don't want to now the sausage that I'm using is Walker's all-natural and one of these sausage companies have started making sausage that doesn't have MSG's in it I would look for these if I were to you because we've talked about MSDS before and they are horrible but if we buy the products that they make that don't have the MSG's in them it will encourage them to make more products without MSG's in them so we'll have more options so I definitely buy the one that doesn't have the MSG in it when I go shopping for sausage and other things like that and you do need a whole pound of sausage for this you want to fry it and crumble it up pretty small and drain it and I set my skillet here so you could kind of see how I drained mine I literally just propped my skillet on some kind of wedge surface today I just rolled a dish towel up so that the skillet was tipped raked all the sausage to one side and let the grease train to the other side it's really simple and there's not a mess where you drip it all over the kitchen trying to drain it and you don't risk spilling what you're trying to drain okay and you need some biscuits now this is a batch of the butter biscuits and I'll link that recipe to this video you can cheat with these and you can make this with my canned or frozen biscuit and the casserole that I'm going to pull out of the oven in a minute I actually use those because I wanted to make sure they worked in this recipe before I told you you can do that I didn't want to post video and say oh you can cheat and it'll be fine you really can't use the frozen biscuits in this but anytime you do a cheat you know it takes a little bit away from what you're making but sometimes we don't have time you can also even buy the precooked sausage crumbles if you were in a big hurry but precooked you probably want like 12 ounces a pound not cooked this is a whole batch of biscuits we have eight eggs here and half cup of milk and a little salt and pepper and I'm just using I said a cup of shredded cheddar cheese you can use whatever kind of cheese you want you have a couple of options for baking this you can put it right back in the pan that you cooked your sausage in once you get it all mixed up and bake it in that pan if it's a skillet an iron skillet or another oven safe pan if it's not you can use a casserole dish the one I have in the oven I used a nine by nine square pan this is a 8 by 11 right half by living or something like that it will work you can go all the way up to a 9 by 13 pan with this and it's going to feed depending on the size of the people anywhere between 6 and 10 people most versions of this say that it'll feed a dozen people I wouldn't try feeding a dozen of the people I know with it but anyway let's get started go ahead and dump your salt and your pepper and your eggs and your milk in with your eggs and we're gonna whip them up a little bit okay all right that's pretty good you don't have to go crazy but I do like to whip it a little bit and we're going to cut our biscuits up in chunks and if you do the frozen or canned biscuits you want to cut them up in chunks just about one inch square so maybe some of them a little smaller but you don't want too much bigger than that because you want it to get done and I've seen a lot of versions of this where they'll make the whole casserole and put it all in a dish and put it in the refrigerator at night and then bake it the next day I don't want to do that because it gets runny overnight and the eggs do strange things to the biscuits and the cheese it's just not as good if you totally mix it up the night before and then put it in the refrigerator but you can mix up your biscuit dough and you can have that in the refrigerator and you can even pre cook your sausage and have that ready to go the next morning so you don't have to do everything the next morning something you need to keep in mind though is if you pre cook your sausage or you pre make the whole thing and put it in the refrigerator when you cook it the next morning the sausage is already leftover so any leftover casserole you have you have to really really really handle that carefully because it's already been cooked and reheated once and you don't want to make anybody sick with the leftover casserole okay so we're going to go ahead and add our cheese into our egg and give it a just a little bit of the stir not much and we're going to add our drained sausage and mix that right up in our egg there are also a lot of versions of this that have gravy enemas and I'm not crazy about that well they don't have gravy and you put a lot of extra milk and then you put a packet of that gravy mix in them I don't like the gravy mix for starters but I'm not crazy about that texture now if I bake this in a casserole dish what I'll usually do is I will take my paint back over to the stove and then I'll make gravy in the pan that I put the sausage in and I'll just pour that gravy over top of my casserole once it's cooked our serve it on the side so that the people who want gravy can have gravy and the people who don't don't have to have it okay if you're not making gravy in this pan and you want to use this pan to cook your casserole in you got to get rid of this grease and normally I ought to take that and dump it out but in some video and just kind of wipe it out you really don't want all that extra grease in your casserole if you're using the casserole dish you do want to wipe it with a little bit of oil or spray it with some nonstick spray okay well give this a stir and you can see well you could before I stirred it there was a little grease on top of my eggs that was left in my sausage anyway but you definitely don't want all that grease in it it would just be too greedy now what you're gonna do is you're gonna take your biscuit chunks and in your pan or you casserole dish you just scatter them around I'm sure they're all separated there I've had a lot of people comment they are looking for recipes for people who live alone or they live alone on a budget and this is a really good one you could make up one of these casseroles and then cut it up in certain single serving pieces and freeze it and just heat it as you need it I definitely wouldn't free cooking my sausage or use the precooked sausage if I was going to do that though because you run into food safety issues when you do that in fact the one that I have in the oven I'm probably gonna divide that or all of it except for some that I try because I definitely wanna let y'all know about what kind of difference the homemade biscuits and the frozen biscuits have but the rest of it I'm gonna divide up and freeze and I'm gonna send it home with my mother at home and I'm gonna vacuum it I'm just gonna put the single servings down in a vacuum bag and send that home with her so she can heat it up and have a quick breakfast it's a little healthier than something that you'd buy frozen in a grocery store okay once you've got your biscuits all spread out in your skillet or your casserole dish you're just gonna pour your egg mixture over it now you can add a little more cheese to the top of this if you want to I usually do not and if you're making this or somebody who is older or if you've got little kids that are gonna be eating it you do need to watch how much cheese you put in it because melted cooked cheese is a serious choke hazard for people who don't have all their back teeth so kind of keep that in mind and don't get too much cheese and stuff like this if you're gonna be serving it to little kids who don't have all their teeth yet or maybe elderly people okay now that's all there is to making it it's pretty simple like I said you can make the biscuits ahead of time you can cook the sausage ahead of time and then just mix this up in the morning maybe on a Sunday morning and stick it in the oven and let it bake while you're getting ready for church but we're gonna put this in a preheated 350 degree oven and it will take about 45 minutes or so to bake maybe a little bit longer when it's done it'll be kind of bubbly in the middle and it will be set good you can stick a knife in it and it should come out clean you want to make sure that it's done in the middle because you don't want whoever gets that middle piece of casserole to have egg and running all over their plate that's not very appetizing okay you can see this fits in this nine by nine pan really nice and something else to what it's done it will be very firm like this but you can see it's actually started to pull in off the silence of my casserole dish that's what you want I mean it's going to wiggle a little bit because it's got the eggs and the biscuits in them they're not gonna get hard or anything and it's going to give a little bit but it shouldn't be pushy and I I like this version better because it's not runny it's not watery and you don't you know it's just a really nice solid casserole you do want to let this sit for maybe ten minutes before you cut it so that the biscuits and the egg and everything are nice and solid and like I said you can make some gravy in the pan that you cooked your sausage in and pour a little gravy over it serve it with some fresh fruit and when I was a kid in the wintertime we always got apple sauce with breakfast if we were going to get fruit because fresh fruit was rare and my granny always can lots of apple sauce so with something like this we would have a little apple sauce on the side and a glass milk and that would be breakfast but this is quick it's easy it's something you can make and stick in the oven like I said waiter getting ready for church or while you're getting ready to go out to a pumpkin patch or something like that and it really warms the house up it smells great the biscuits and the sausage cooking together is just a wonderful spell in the house but I hope you give this a try maybe share it with somebody who is living alone it does freeze good I'm gonna cut this in about nine pieces like I said it's not gonna serve 12 people and most of the folks I serve breakfast to would eat two of those so it's gonna serve si maybe eight people and that's about it if you have more people to serve you know you're great people as on yup a double recipe thank you so much for doing this and he'll do the kitchen if you haven't
