I make this all the time. It freezes well and tastes just as good later.

These are great, especially if you need to get out the door in a hurry in the morning. I tripled the recipe and froze the extra cups. They tasted great after warming in the microwave. I would suggest shredded hashbrowns instead of cubed.

I doubled this recipe but next time I will triple it because my family loved it so much.

I made these 5 days before Christmas, and then froze them. Christmas day we microwaved them. They were a huge hit. It is now a Christmas morning must have for breakfast, and if you make it in advance, there is no cooking to do in the morning you want to serve them.

Wonderful recipe! Reheats well too!

Wonderful recipe. I take the biscuits and pull them apart into two. There was a little to much biscuit for my family. I also added some sausage gravy I had left over. My family loved them.

This was a great after school snack for my son!

Very good recipe but second time around I changed a few things. The bisquits were to thick so I separated one into two and added more gravy. Perfect my husband said! This is a staple now.

Good! And I doubled the recipe so we would have some for quick breakfast or lunch in the freezer. Used lean turkey sausage and also added some diced onion & peppers to the potatoes. Also made biscuits for Bisquick.

This is a Great recipe. It does take alittle time to assemble, but very much worth the effort. I made 2 batches so there is many fast breakfasts to come. They do reheat perfectly.

We made these on a family vacation. Now my husband is requesting them for his birthday breakfast. So definitely a keeper.

These were phenomenal! I accidentally got the buttermilk instead of flaky biscuits, and used the Jimmy Dean roll sausage and shredded cheddar. They had tons of flavor. This is definitely going into my recipe box. And, I made them the day before--they reheated great in the microwave for about a minute.

Very good. The only thing my husband would have liked more of is the gravy. Which isn't hard to do. Will definately be making this again!!!

I make these on Sunday and then pop them in the microwave at work all week. Surprisingly filling but not at all heavy! I use turkey sausage and reduced fat biscuits and a little garlic salt in the egg/ potato mix.

This was wonderful. Just starting to get cool here in east texas so it was a great way to start fall.

I made these the first time without the recipe in front of me and left out all the milk and flour. They were still very good, but will try it again using all of the recipe.

These are excellent. Made exactly as directed. My kids asked me to make 2 batches next time. Oh, and they reheated in microwave really well!

This was tasty! It is perfect size for children and elderly people. Since it takes 1/3 sausage I just go ahead and triple the recipe and made more. I take them to elderly people who do not get to eat much breakfast, and they love them!

This was really good! They are also just the right size for kids and elderly people. Since it uses 1/3 of the sausage, I just tripble the recipe and make more. Enjoy!

My fiance and I just tried this recipe and love it! I enjoying cooking and baking so making it didn't seem like that much work to me, just like a casserole! I made them ahead of time so on a busy morning all I have to do is pop them in the microwave. YUMMY!

Tasted good, but more work than I would have liked - seems like cooking 3 separate meals with cooking the sausage, then the eggs, then baking it all.

Reviewed on Aug. 16, 2011 by juliesprincess

Loved them! My whole family did, actually. They only took about 15 min. in my oven, but my oven is like that.

Reviewed on Aug. 09, 2011 by FyreFli329

These were a big hit with my family! They did take about 30 minutes to prepare, but it was easy. I used cheddar cheese, since that's what I had on hand, and it was just fine. Next time I plan to make a double batch and freeze some!
