This breakfast bake is technically a casserole and I love it! I don’t make casseroles very often but they do have there place. This one has an egg and hash brown base, sausage and bacon center, cheddar biscuit top then it gets topped with homemade country gravy. So it’s like combining my favorite savory breakfast items together. I love that I can just throw it in the oven and not think twice about it until it’s cooked and ready to eat. It’s a great breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner!
