- 16.3 oz of refrigerated biscuits (one 8-count can) (462 g)

How To Make Slow Cooker Biscuit Breakfast Casserole
- Butter Up: First thingโs first, grab that softened butter and generously coat the sides and bottom of your 3.5-quart casserole or 6-quart oval slow cooker. This keeps everything nice and non-sticky.
- Layer the Biscuits: Pop open your can of refrigerated biscuits. Arrange them snugly in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Mix It Up: Crack those eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Pour in the milk, toss in the shredded cheese, and add the chopped bacon. Give it all a good whisk until itโs nicely blended.
- Pour and Cook: Evenly drizzle your egg mixture over the biscuits. Theyโre going to soak up all that eggy goodness!
- Cooking Time: Cover up your slow cooker. Set it to HIGH and let it cook for 1 ยฝ to 2 hours. Youโre looking for the biscuits to get a slight tan on the edges and the egg mixture to set completely.
- Garnish and Serve: If youโre feeling fancy, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top before serving. It adds a pop of color and a fresh twist!
How do I know when the Biscuit Breakfast Casserole is perfectly cooked?
Youโll see the edges of the biscuits turn golden and feel set in the middle. Give it a gentle jiggle; if it doesnโt wobble, youโre good to go! Donโt overcook it, or youโll risk drying out the deliciousness.
Recipe Tips
- Layering is key: Make sure to layer the biscuits flat at the bottom of the slow cooker to ensure even cooking and no soggy bottoms.
- Get cheesy with it: Donโt hesitate to mix up the cheese varieties; a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack adds a fantastic depth of flavor.
- Slow and steady: Always check the casserole in the last 30 minutes of cooking; slow cookers can vary in temperature, and you donโt want an overcooked edge or an undercooked middle.
- Final touch: A sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley can add a burst of color and freshness right before serving; itโs like adding a little confetti to your dish!
Recipe Variations
- Meat madness: Swap out the bacon for cooked sausage or diced ham to keep the meat lovers at your table super happy.
- Veggie delight: For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and pack it with veggies like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, all pre-sautรฉed to bring out their flavors.
- Spice it up: Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg mixture if youโre in the mood for a kick; itโs a warm hug for your taste buds!
- Go international: Stir in some cooked chorizo and swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese to give it a Tex-Mex twist, topped with avocado and salsa, itโs like a fiesta in your mouth!
