Ingredients to Gather

You only need a few simple ingredients for this easy breakfast recipe!

• Bisquick Pancake Mix. Bisquick has flour, salt, a little sugar, and the leavening ingredients already in it. It's a total time saver! You can buy store bought Bisquick, or you can make your own homemade Bisquick.
• Melted Butter. This will give the casserole flavor and help keep it fluffy. If you prefer, you can use vegetable oil, canola oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil in place of butter.
• Ham. Thick cut ham from the grocery store will work. This is also a great way to use up leftover ham. You will want to cut it into pretty big chunks.
• Milk. Whole milk, 2% milk, or your favorite milk can be used.
• Cheese. Shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey jack cheese, or your favorite cheese are all great choices.

Step By Step Instructions

Variations

• Add veggies! Add bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or whatever your favorite veggies are.
• Make it sweet! Instead of adding ham and cheese, add chocolate chips, vanilla extract, blueberries, or bake the casserole plain until golden brown and then serve with your favorite toppings for pancakes.
• Change the meat! Use breakfast sausage, cooked bacon, or cooked turkey bacon instead of ham.
• Change the cheese! Colby jack, Monterey jack, or your favorite type of cheese would all work in this recipe.

How to Serve Bisquick Breakfast Casserole

• With maple syrup. It might sound strange to have maple syrup on this breakfast casserole, but it adds an extra layer of sweetness that rounds out the casserole perfectly!
• With fruit. Top this savory breakfast casserole with fresh fruit like fresh blueberries or fresh strawberries or make a simple fruit salad for a delicious brunch treat.
• As a brunch item. This is a great recipe to add to any brunch menu. Serve it with orange juice, hash browns, sourdough scones, sourdough bagels, and blueberry French toast casserole.

Storage Tips

To make this easy breakfast casserole ahead of time mix all the ingredients together and add them to a greased baking dish greased with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Cover it with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours ahead of baking it. When you are ready to bake it, sprinkle with some more cheddar cheese and bake.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat, place them in an oven safe baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Freeze the leftover pancakes in freezer bags. Cut the breakfast casserole into pieces and place them in freezer bags. Freeze it for up to 3 months. To defrost, place it in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
