3 Meat, Veggie, & Biscuit Breakfast Casserole
I have made this dish numerous of times, but this one is the sweet spot! I decided to take most breakfast components (omelettes with add-ins, eggs, sausage, bacon, etc.) and combine it all in one dish, but also with veggies. This can last up to a week only from the date it is made if you refrigerate the dish. If you decide to put it in the freezer, you can eat it up to 3 months from cook date. This recipe is perfect for family size, friends, or if you do not feel like waking up day-to-day to make breakfast. As a teacher, I definitely did not like waking up around 04:00 ish hours just to cook, eat, get myself together around 06:15 ish and try to be out of the house by 06:30 just to make it to work on time. One thing about this dish, I would suggest preparing it the night before or you can prep everything during that morning, just make sure you have some help. I made it on my own.
Bottom Layer Add Ins
Now, lets make this delicious mouthwatering three meat veggie & biscuit breakfast casserole! This is a 3 to 4 layer dish.
- Whatever your add-ins are, they will go on the bottom.
- Eggs and milk mixture go in the middle.
- You can save some of the add-ins (bell peppers, chives, Italian parsley, & broccoli) to add a third layer. Otherwise, just put everything on the bottom.
- Biscuits go on top
For the add ins, I use bell peppers (red, green, & yellow), jalapeño pepper, Italian parsley, chives, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bacon (Kroger’s hardwood smoked-thick cut), Canadian Bacon (Boar’s Head), and ground sausage (regular (1/2) & maple (1/2) -Jimmy Dean).
Eggs & Milk Middle Layer
Season your eggs and milk! I suggest seasoning your eggs first. Then, once you add in the milk, season it again. You want as much flavor as much as possible. All seasonings are from the brand McCormick Gourmet Organic, Simple Truth Organic, and Private Selection can be found at your local Kroger. Any bulk spices came from Natural Grocers. If you are wondering what I used, here it is: cracked black pepper, sriracha, paprika, red pepper, turmeric, onion powder, 3 minced chopped garlic cloves,
Biscuit Top Layer
I made my biscuits from scratch. I also used some of the leftover peppers from the middle layer and parsley and placed it into the batter after mixing. All you need is flour, butter (cold), and milk. I whisked together the dry ingredients and then put the dry ingredients into my Kitchen Aid bowl mixer and added in the wet ingredients. Before you put the biscuits in the oven for cooking, PLEASE, do not forget to butter them with melted butter and with the leftover add ins you have, put the remaining on top of the entire dish, along with extra cheese. This will help your biscuits come out flaky, perfect crunch, and melt in your mouth.

Bottom Layer
Biscuit Topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously grease baking dish 9 x 13 in.
- Layer the meat mixture first (sausage (maple and regular), Canadian bacon, and hardwood smoked bacon. Whisk the eggs, milk, fresh Italian parsley, salt, cracked black pepper, bell peppers (red, green, & yellow), jalapeño pepper, chives, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, paprika, turmeric, onion powder, & chopped garlic. Pour evenly over meat & cheese. Set aside.
- Biscuit topping: Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a food processor or large bowl. Add the 6 tbsp. of cubed cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a fork, pastry cutter, or pulse several times in the processor. Cut/pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add the milk, then stir/pulse until the dough comes together. Dough will be a bit wet. If it is too dry, add another tbsp of milk. With floured hands, so it does not stick, form the biscuit dough into medium size balls. You will arrange this on top of the egg mixture.
- Brush the biscuits with 2 tbs of melted butter and top with a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper, extra parsley, & cheese.
- Bake for 48 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
- Cover leftover casserole tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Notes
Cheese: I used sharp cheddar cheese. However, you can use whatever cheese you decide or combination of different cheese.
Meat: Cook and crumble the sausage in a skillet before using. Cook the bacon before using.
Peppers & Veggies:I sautéed all peppers, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower in a skillet before putting them in the dish. I did steam the Broccoli and Cauliflower first.

Tea…With ♥
Song Tea
On a beautiful morning, with opened windows, the sun rays prances origami shapes casts by plants outside of the shop onto the walls and floor. The smells of tea leaves dances closely together and creates a sense of calm aroma. It matches the personalities of both owners and mood of tea and song. I once was addicted to coffee. I would drink coffee every day. Some people say coffee wakes them up, keeps them going or awake, etc. Coffee never gave me that feeling and I never drank coffee because of it. Coffee always did the opposite for me. I would spend a lot of money at Starbucks and still do have Gold Membership, except, I cut down the spending on coffee. Coffee made me drowsy and I notice I did not sleep well throughout the night. My migraines and anxiety weren’t as bad once I cut away my coffee intake. I had finally made my switch fully back to tea. I love tea, tea is ♥, and tea makes me happy!
I stopped by this place, Song Tea & Ceramics, at the time they were not even open for a year. However, it was by far, one of the most beautiful tea spots I have ever been and here is why.:
- Both owners go over to Asia (China and Taiwan) to help pick their tea leaves along with the farmers.
- The farmers also receive profit on the tea bought and the tea leaves they pick.
- Both owners (of Song Tea & Ceramics) have enriched historical information not only on tea, but also Asia where they get their tea, the farmers, the tea process, and so much more.
- They are willing to share their endeavors with you! When you buy tea, you help the farmers!
- Ceramics made by local and non-local artists (international and national) you can buy here and they receive majority of the profit; how wonderful is that!
You can walk over to the shelves and pick up the containers, open the lid, and smell the tea. Tea is something you can smell and the smell is exactly how it taste. Also, they always have their tea of the day, for you to sample along with other tea for you to try. And for $10 you can have a flight of three teas from the Song collection. It is a very intimate experience. When I went, you can just drop in and have a flight of tea as pictured above before the blog starts. You may want to check and see if that has changed.
There are many options to choose from. There are traditional and non-traditional tea cups. I bought myself a traditional set and it comes in beautiful packaging.
I bought 2 traditional tea cups. Support other artists!
They even have tea pots!

Slow Oven Roast Black Cherry Bison Sirloin Steak
With the help of my friend, Chef and restaurant owner, Scott McGehee, I was able to slow roast this steak. At the time, instead, I used my oven. I had started on this late in the evening around 21:00 hours (9 P.M.). It was done cooking around 05:00 hours (5 A.M.). It was very good! If you do not have a slow cooker, set your oven around 200 degrees F.
Recipe for Steak
Marinate your steak. I made my own and will not provide the recipe for that.Black Cherry (cut in halves remove seeds)
