Bisquick Breakfast Casserole With Bacon Recipe
Bacon makes everything better, right?! If you’re one of those people who likes adding bacon to everything (*raises hand*), then you’re going to love this version of Bisquick Breakfast Casserole. It has so much flavor!
The other thing to know about this recipe is that because the eggs are mixed with Bisquick, it’s not eggy—so if you’re not a fan of the texture or taste of scrambled eggs or quiche, you’ll still enjoy this Bisquick Breakfast Casserole.

How to Make Bisquick Breakfast Casserole With Bacon
1. Prepare
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and grease a baking dish.
2. Cook the Bacon and Onions
Cook the bacon in a skillet set over medium heat until it’s crispy. Transfer it to a plate and sauté the onions in the bacon fat until they’re softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Start Layering the Casserole
Sprinkle bacon, onions, 1 cup of cheese, and hash browns in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
4. Add the Bisquick Topping
In a large mixing bowl, mix the Bisquick, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Pour this mixture into the baking dish.
5. Bake
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is cooked through. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and return the dish to the oven for 3 to 4 more minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Garnish with scallions, if using.
How to Store Bisquick Breakfast Casserole With Bacon
Store leftovers covered in the baking dish, or transfer them to an airtight container. Leftover casserole will keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days; it can also be frozen for up to 3 months, then thawed in the refrigerator before reheating.
