What is Bisquick?
Before we start, though… What exactly is Bisquick? Well, simply put, Bisquick is a baking mix that contains flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, cornstarch, and a few other extras. While it definitely doesn’t have all of the ingredients to meet your nutritional daily value requirements, you can easily turn it into a hearty, healthy meal with just a few extra ingredients.
Bisquick itself is fairly simple, but it’s also extremely versatile. As you’ll soon see from these Bisquick breakfast casserole recipe options below, it’s practically essential for any at-home baker. I’ve even included one “not-quite-a-casserole” recipe that I’m sure you’ll love as well.
Ready to get started! Here are my favorite recipes!
Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole Easy Bisquick Breakfast Bake Casserole Recipes
Okay, so let’s start off this list of Bisquick breakfast casserole recipes with a simple hash brown casserole. This savory breakfast casserole offers more than enough for a family of four, although you might need to adjust the portions a bit if you’re feeding more.
Still, it’s a basic staple dish that’s perfect for nearly any occasion. Grab the ingredients below and let’s get started.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. spicy pork sausage
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- 2 ½ cups of diced, frozen hash brown potatoes
- 5 eggs
- 1 ¾ cups of milk
- 1 cup of Bisquick
- ¼ tsp. of salt
- ¼ tsp. of pepper
- 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- Picante sauce
- Sour cream
Steps
- To start, you’ll want to spray a 13×9 glass baking dish with your choice of cooking spray. From there, heat a 10-inch skillet to medium-high heat. Then, cook the sausage and onion for five minutes.
- Once the five minutes have passed, stir in your potatoes. Cook for 5 to 7 more minutes, remembering to stir occasionally. It’s done once the potatoes are lightly browned and the sausage isn’t pink.
- Drain using paper towels, then spoon the potato, onion, and sausage mixture into your baking dish.
- Next, you’ll need to grab a bowl for the egg mixture. Use a whisk to blend your Bisquick, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Once blended, stir in your cheese.
- Pour the blend over your sausage mixture, then stir it all together. Cover it with aluminum foil and then leave it in your refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours. After this, it’s ready to cook.
- To cook your casserole, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Bake the casserole for 45 while it’s covered, then remove the foil and bake it for another 15 minutes.
- Remove the casserole from the oven, let it sit for five minutes, then serve with sour cream and picante sauce on the side.
Do-Ahead Breakfast Bake Another Bisquick Breakfast Casserole Recipes
The second option on my list of Bisquick breakfast casserole recipes is a bit more simple, but it’s a great recipe nonetheless. Of course, you can also use it as a dinner recipe instead.
It’s a fairly easy one to do, provided you already have julienne potatoes. If not, Betty Crocker sells their own as well. Otherwise, you’ll have to prepare them yourself.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of cooked ham (diced)
- potatoes (julienned)
- 1 cup of chopped bell pepper
- 1 tbsp. of dried, chopped onion
- 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup of Bisquick
- 3 cups of milk
- ½ tsp. of black pepper
- 4 eggs
Steps
- To start this easy breakfast casserole recipe, you’ll first want to spray a 13×9 glass baking dish with your favorite nonstick cooking spray.
- Next, it’s time to start layering your ingredients in your baking dish. First ham, then potatoes, then bell pepper, then your onions, and finally, one cup of cheese.
- Grab a large mixing bowl for your Bisquick, milk, pepper, and eggs. Blend them together, then pour them into your baking dish.
- Sprinkle your second cup of cheese on top, then cover the casserole-to-be. Refrigerate for a minimum of eight hours, up to a maximum of 23 hours.
- Once you’re ready to cook your casserole, heat the oven up to 375°F. You can remove it from the oven after 40 to 45 minutes. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Cheesy Sausage and Egg BakeBisquick Breakfast Casserole Recipes
While all of these Bisquick breakfast casserole recipes involve some level of cheese, this one is especially for all you cheese lovers out there. Although you technically can use basic old breakfast sausage for it, I would highly recommend using Italian sausage instead.
Sure, this isn’t one of the authentic Italian recipes, but why not enjoy the extra flavor? With Italian sausage, you can even add a bit of spice to this savory casserole. Of course, it’s a relatively easy recipe, which means it’s easy to modify. I’ll leave the experimenting up to you!

- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 ½ tsp. of salt
- 1 ½ tsp. of dried oregano leaves
- ½ tsp. of pepper
- 12 eggs
Steps
- Heat your oven up to 350°F to get started. Next, grab a 13x9x2 baking dish and grease it.
- Layer sausage, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and cheese in the dish. If you haven’t already, make sure to prepare the vegetables. Refer to the ingredients list above for which ones need to be chopped and/or sliced.
- Stir the remaining ingredients into the dish–Bisquick, milk, salt, dried oregano leaves, pepper, and eggs—in a separate bowl. Once blended, pour the mixture over the ingredients in the dish.
- Finally, it’s time to start baking. You’ll want to keep the casserole in the oven until the top is golden brown, which should take roughly 30 to 35 minutes. Remove it once it’s done, let it sit for five minutes, then serve!

Impossibly Easy Mexican Chorizo Breakfast Bake Is My Favorite Bisquick Breakfast Casserole Recipes
Alright, so this last one doesn’t technically belong on a list of Bisquick breakfast casserole recipes… But I’ve included it anyway because it’s awesome! Like the previous delicious casserole recipes, this recipe uses a Bisquick mixture as its base.
Similar to most Mexican recipes, there is more than one way to cook it. I’ve included a bunch of optional ingredients at the end. While you don’t have to use these, I’ve found you can add a lot of flavor to an already great dish if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. of chorizo sausage
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
- 15 oz. of black beans (drained, rinsed)
- 2 cups of cheese (Monterey Jack, shredded)
- ¾ cup of Bisquick
- 1 ½ cups of milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp. of fresh cilantro (chopped)
- Fresh avocado (sliced, optional)
- Fresh tomato (chopped, optional)
- Salsa (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
- Lime Wedges (optional)
Steps
- First, start preheating your oven to 400°F, then grab a 10-inch skillet. Cast iron is best, as you’ll be baking it. You can use a large skillet if you need to make extra.
- Stirring occasionally, cook the chorizo, onion, and garlic in the skillet until the onion has been tenderized and the chorizo isn’t pink. Drain when done.
- Take ¼ of a cup of black beans and stir them into the chorizo mixture. Add one cup of cheese to the mixture as well.
- Blend your milk, eggs, and Bisquick in a large bowl. Pour this mixture into the skillet, then pour the remaining ¾ of a cup of black beans and one cup of cheese on top.
- Place the skillet in the oven, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool for five minutes, then top the dish with your fresh chopped cilantro. Feel free to garnish using any of the “optional” ingredients as well.

FAQs About Bisquick Breakfast Casserole Recipes
Why is my breakfast casserole soggy?
Well, a lot of the time the sogginess comes from vegetables. There are two ways you can try to alleviate this issue: by limiting the amount of vegetables you’re using or by adding grains to the base. Alternatively, overcooking the eggs can also cause this issue.
How do you know when breakfast casserole is done?
There are a few different indicators, such as a browned, crisp surface, a bubbling surface, or lots of liquid loss. You can also stick a knife in the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, your casserole is done!
Regardless of how you cook it, though, most casseroles take at least 30 minutes to cook, which should give you plenty of time to whip up a warm drink and eagerly wait for breakfast to finish cooking.
How long can breakfast casserole sit before cooking?
You can usually let a breakfast casserole sit for up to 24 hours before you actually need to cook it. That said, you don’t want to let it just sit on the counter. Instead, make sure to place it in your refrigerator.
What do you serve with breakfast casserole?
Most breakfast foods can pair well with breakfast casserole, but a few of my favorites would be pancakes, muffins, and parfaits.
How many days is breakfast casserole good for?
Even if you’re using an airtight container, the maximum I would suggest storing a breakfast casserole for would be three or four days in the fridge. If you decide to freeze it then your casserole will be good for about three months.
Is it better to freeze a breakfast casserole cooked or uncooked?
The answer really depends on what’s in the breakfast casserole. If it contains raw meat then you’ll definitely want to cook it before freezing it. However, if the meat(s) have already been cooked—or the casserole doesn’t have any meat at all—then either option will work just fine.
