Notes

This recipe uses the SMALLER refrigerated biscuits. I used Pillsbury biscuits. Look for 12-oz cans that have 10 biscuits. You can also use two 6-oz cans of 5-count biscuits.
I used Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage.
Feel free to substitute turkey sausage for a lower calorie option.
You can assemble the casserole and refrigerate overnight.
If I am making this for a weekday breakfast, I will cook the sausage and whisk up the eggs the night before. I store everything in the fridge overnight. I chop the biscuits and assemble the casserole first thing in the morning and bake it. It works out great.
You can freeze the baked casserole and reheat later. To reheat the casserole, thaw completely. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350ºF for 30 to 45 minutes.
I used shredded Velveeta cheese. I buy it at Walmart. You can also use a block of Velveeta and cut it into small squares.
If you don’t like Velveeta, you can use any cheeses that you prefer in this casserole.
