Sausage, Egg and Biscuit Casserole

I found this recipe on Pinterest and wanted to make sure to post it here so I would always have it on hand. I stumbled across it looking for something to use up all our extra eggs and I'm so glad on did. It was DELISH!
It was perfect for breakfast and I will definitely be making this the next time we have company in the morning. I LOVE comfort food.

Sausage, Egg and Biscuit Casserole
(taken from http://jennymacslipsmack.blogspot.com)

1 lb. sausage or bacon (I used Jimmy Dean's Precooked Sausage Crumbles)
7 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
8 biscuits (canned, leftover homemade ones that are a bit stale, frozen, bakery, what you like best)
1-1/2 cups shredded cheese


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 8x10 baking dish with nonstick spray. Brown sausage or cook bacon until brown/crispy. Transfer to paper towel to absorb excess grease.

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, salt and pepper.

Split biscuits in half and layer bottoms in greased dish. Sprinkle sausage/bacon over biscuits and top with 3/4 cup of cheese. Cover with biscuits tops and pour egg mixture over top.

If you want to eat it NOW:
Bake for 30 minutes or until eggs are set (165 degrees) and no longer jiggly. Cover with cheese and cook for another 10 minutes. Let casserole stand for 10 minutes.

If you want to cook it LATER:
Cover with foil. Place and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes until eggs are set. Uncover and place on 3/4 cup of cheese or until melted.
