Let me tell you a little story about how I came about this recipe for Easy Breakfast Casserole. Did you ever have one of those afternoons where you look at your watch, realize it’s 4:00 PM and you haven’t given a single thought about dinner? Yeah, well, that was me the other night. Usually, I’m very good with meal planning. But not that night. For some reason, I had nothing planned. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch.
To make things worse, I barely had anything in my pantry. And, the only meat I had was bacon. Apparently, I was in dire need of a visit to my grocery store. How does this happen to a food blogger? Grocery shopping is in my job description.
Since I had bacon, I could have made my One Pot BLT Pasta (which is to die for, FYI). But, I was missing a few key ingredients — like the pasta. I still can’t figure out how I ended up with no pasta in my pantry.
MY LATEST VIDEOSI thought to myself, “BFD”. No, not that! This is a family-friendly blog, after all. BFD – Breakfast for dinner. Duh! I scoured my Pinterest Boards looking for inspiration and came across this little gem from Angela is Here. Somehow, I managed to have all of the ingredients on hand.
This breakfast casserole was definitely a keeper! It took no time at all to assemble and about 25 minutes to bake. Easy and fast. Just what I needed. And, it was quite tasty. I did play around with the original recipe a bit to suit my family’s needs – it’s very adaptable. You can pretty much tweak it to suit your needs.
Thanks, Angela, for helping me out of a dinner-time pinch! I highly recommend making this Easy Breakfast Casserole – either for breakfast OR dinner!

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, whisk eggs and milk together until smooth. Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Gently fold biscuit pieces into egg mixture to coat evenly. Stir in bacon, cheese and onions. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish, making sure that biscuit pieces are in single layer. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Bake for 23 to 28 minutes or until golden brown.

This sounds sooooo good – with double the amount of bacon, though LMAO!
