Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Casserole

In my family, we have had the same breakfast casserole every Christmas morning I can remember and it’s one of my absolute faves. However, it’s also a recipe that’s all over the internet already so I decided to give you guys something different. This casserole is perfect for the chaos that Christmas morning brings because you can make it the night before. Pop it in the oven while the kids are tearing open presents and it’s ready in no time! It’s basically a breakfast sandwich in a dish and it’s so good!

Entertaining tips:

1. Make the sausage up to 2 days before and store in a container in the fridge.

2. Assemble this casserole the day before. Cover it with plastic wrap and put in the fridge. When you wake up, pop it in the oven.
