Tips & Tricks
Looking to up your breakfast casserole game? Just follow my tips and tricks:
- Try different breakfast meat. I love to use maple-flavored breakfast sausage when I make this recipe. It adds a little boost of sweetness to the savory dish. You can also use cooked bacon, diced ham, or skip the meat.
- Use what you’ve got. This recipe is customizable, so use anything you have on hand. Toss in veggies or greens you need to use up. You can also try other cheeses, milk alternatives, syrup, hot sauce, or spices.
- Add sour cream. A small scoop of sour cream will help keep it moist. Not to mention taste delicious!
- Cover with foil. Is your casserole browning to fast around the edges? Cover it with aluminum foil. Be sure to check for browning about halfway through.
- Make breakfast muffins. They’re portable and freezer-friendly, so you can meal prep breakfast. Just pour your mixture into muffin tins for perfect serving sizes.
- Give it a Mexican flair. Craving Mexican food? Doctor up your casserole! Use semi-fried corn tortilla pieces along with add-ins. Try any combination of chorizo, cilantro, beans, corn, salsa, tomatoes, peppers, and spices.
Can I Make Breakfast Casserole Ahead of Time?
Yes! This recipe is perfect for preparing ahead of time.
You can mix everything together, cover, and store in the fridge for a day or two if needed. Then just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to eat it.
Alternatively, you can cook it ahead of time and reheat when ready. Use the microwave or the oven on a low setting to reheat.
You can also freeze this casserole and reheat for a quick breakfast later. Let it cool entirely before putting it in the freezer and make sure to store it in an airtight container.
I recommend using a disposable aluminum pan with a lid so that you don’t have one of your nice baking dishes in the freezer for months.
Or you can line your baking dish with foil. Once it is frozen, lift the foil-wrapped casserole out of the dish and leave it as is in the freezer to free up your dish.
You can also cut the casserole into serving portions and freeze them for easy grab-n-go breakfasts.
Thaw the casserole overnight and then reheat in the oven for the best texture. Bisquick Breakfast Casserole can last in the freezer for 2-3 months.
What to Serve with Breakfast Casserole
Brunches, potlucks, or weekend mornings, this casserole is a fantastic addition to a larger spread.
To make it a full meal, try any of these serving ideas:
- Fresh Fruit – I like to serve my Bisquick breakfast casserole with something a little sweet. So I tend to go with a fresh bowl of fruit. Sliced fruits like apples, avocados, oranges, or melons are a healthy and easy side.
- Yogurt – A simple side of plain yogurt on its own would be tasty. You can also jazz it up with a yogurt parfait. Yum!
- Breakfast Meat – If you’re a meat-lover, you can up the protein with an extra side of breakfast meat. Bacon, sausage patties, or vegetarian breakfast meat alternatives all pair great.
- Baked Goods – If you need your breakfast to be extra filling, go with more bread. Scones, muffins, banana bread, or buttermilk biscuits with jam all make great breakfast sides. It’s an excellent addition to a potluck too!
- Beverages – Of course, you always need a good morning beverage! Coffee, tea, orange juice, or even a sparkling mimosa, take your pick. This breakfast casserole goes with anything!

I just made this we loved it! I did have to make some changes because I was out of some things, I only had a 1/2 cup of bisquick so I used 1/2 cup of bisquick and and 1/2 cup of pancake mix it turned out great I also added mushrooms and I used bacon instead of sausage. Will make again.
I love your collection of recipes and have them saved on my laptop for easy use in the kitchen Thank you!
I just made a batch of this. Instead of cutting up peppers and onions I use O’Brian style potatoes, already have them in.
Great tip! Thanks so much, Shelley!
Great casserole. I take it to our church fellowships and there are never any leftovers.Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Gini, I’m so glad to hear that you and the members at your church are enjoying it! It’s always my go-to when serving a crowd. 🙂
I love your easy recipes.
I use to cook a lot.. loved it. But I am now 73 with hip and back problems and standing very long kills me.
These are quick and easy… keep them coming.
Hi Barbara, quick and easy is the way to go! I’m so happy to hear you like the recipes!
I am 81 and used to cook a lot. But getting older, we don’t cook for a lot of people. But with football season here, hopefully we will get together with family and make a couple different breakfast ones for morning games. Thank you for the recipes.
Awww… I hope your friends and family enjoy whichever recipes you decide to use, Diane. 81 years is a real blessing. <3
Can you prepare ahead and freeze to cook later
Hi, Laney!
There’s more detailed information in the section “Can I Make Breakfast Casserole Ahead of Time,” but here’s the bit relevant to your question:

Hope that helps! 🙂
