Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon, (chopped)
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 1 (16-ounce) can biscuits
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives, (more for garnish)
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F and coat a 3-quart baking dish for this bubble up breakfast casserole.
- Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, then lift it out with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to drain for the casserole.
- Brown the breakfast sausage in the bacon fat in the same skillet, breaking it up as it cooks until no pink remains, and add it to the drained bacon.
- Cut each biscuit from the can into six pieces and lay the biscuit pieces across the bottom of the prepared dish as the casserole base.
- Scatter the cooked bacon and sausage evenly over the biscuit pieces in the breakfast casserole dish.
- Whisk the eggs with the half and half, salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, dried onion flakes and chopped chives, and pour that custard over the biscuits and meat.
- Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack evenly over the top of the bubble up casserole before it goes into the oven.
- Bake the breakfast casserole for 30 to 35 minutes until the biscuits are baked through and the eggs are no longer runny, rest it for 5 minutes, and garnish it with more chopped chives.
