About twice a month, my family loves to have “breakfast for dinner”, which is great for me because it’s pretty easy to make and I don’t have to put a whole lot of thought into it. This breakfast lasagna recipe combines all of our favorite breakfast items into one big cheesy dish that is delicious and satisfying. It can be made ahead of time and put in the fridge or the freezer, which makes it super convenient if you’re pressed for time. With all the kids in my house, I’m always busy with something!

I call this “breakfast lasagna” because it’s a layered dish. It’s made with layers of biscuits, sausage, eggs, potatoes, onions, peppers and of course, cheese! What good is lasagna without cheese?? I use different colors of bell peppers to make it look nicer but if you only use green bell pepper it will taste just as amazing. Bacon can be substituted for the sausage, or just use them both! You could even use egg whites or egg beaters, but with all of the cheese in this recipe, why bother? Everything in moderation, right?….right…. This is a really super easy, super filling dish to make. I don’t think you can mess this one up! Let me know how you like it.

Ingredients

2 cans regular biscuits (10 count)
1 lb. breakfast sausage
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup orange bell pepper, diced
1 large potato, peeled and diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
20 whole eggs, beaten and divided
2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9 x 13″ casserole dish
Place biscuits on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Take them out of the oven and let them cool
Turn oven temperature up to 375
In the meantime, cook the breakfast sausage over medium high heat for 5-7 minutes in a heavy skillet
Add the bell peppers, potatoes, onion and garlic and sauté until meat is fully cooked and vegetables are softened
Break the biscuits up into about four pieces each and then place half of them in a layer at the bottom of the casserole dish
Place half of the meat and vegetable mixture on top of the biscuits and then pour half of the beaten eggs over it
Spread half of the shredded cheddar cheese over that and then repeat the layers
Bake the casserole uncovered for 45 min. You may want to place a piece of aluminum foil over the dish during the last 10 minutes of baking to avoid burning the cheese
Once you take it out of the oven let it rest about 10-15 before serving
