Giddy Up And Go Breakfast Cobbler
Giddy Up and Go Breakfast Cobbler is a savory breakfast casserole that features biscuits, eggs, sausage and plenty of cheese. It was named by my sons when they were younger and we loved it so much it stuck. Sausage, biscuits, eggs and cheese are a classic combination that shine in this delicious make-ahead dish.
Easy Giddy Up and Go Breakfast Cobbler Recipe
It’s probably apparent by the title that my little cowboys helped name this breakfast cobbler casserole. In it, I use a spicy sausage that will most definitely put a spring in your step to start your day or make a tasty addition to your “breakfast for dinner” menu. If you prefer a more gentle awakening, you can, of course, substitute the same amount with a milder breakfast sausage. I’ve made this dish using all eggs, and also a mixture of whole eggs and egg substitute, with equally delicious results. All the things you love for breakfast, served in a casserole.
How to Make the Best Breakfast Cobbler Recipe
This super simple breakfast cobbler can be adapted in many ways.
- Ingredients you’ll need to make this Giddy Up and Go Breakfast Cobbler: Large eggs, spicy or mild pork breakfast sausage, half and half, frozen buttermilk biscuits, shredded colby jack cheese, salt, onion powder, black pepper, ground mustard, garlic powder or granulated garlic, chives and butter.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, whisk, sharp knife and cutting board, cheese grater, 12 x 8 inch baking dish, measuring cups and spoons.
- You can make your own biscuits for this dish using my Southern Buttermilk Biscuits recipe if you prefer. Make them per the recipe, then cut into quarters and assemble the cobbler per the directions. That said, this dish was designed to keep things simple so frozen biscuits work perfectly and make for quicker preparation.
- This recipe can also be adapted using canned biscuits. Each adaptation will change the dish a bit, but it will still be delicious.
- You can use mild or spicy breakfast sausage or even chorizo for extra kick. It’s simple to adapt to suit your personal preference.
- You can use half whole eggs and half egg beaters or a similar egg white product to cut calories.
- You can use any flavor of cheese you like, or have on hand, in the same amount.
- This dish can be assembled and chilled overnight. When doing so allow to sit on the counter for 15 minutes prior to baking.
- Store leftover baked Breakfast Cobbler chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave or air fryer.

I have not made your recipe yet, but what changes do I have to make when using canned biscuits?
It may cook a little more quickly (or not) but otherwise, none.
Husband loved this. I made two small ones, one for the freezer and one to eat.
I’m so happy to hear it, thanks!
Hey Melissa post a smaller Version from your breakfast Cassaroll on Facebook would like to try it.
If you want a smaller version, halve the ingredients.
Your home made biscuits, are they drop biscuits? Or do you have to toll them out? Are the biscuits only on the bottom? Your pictures look like on top also.
Make the biscuits per the recipe, roll and cut into rounds. Then cut into quarters and assemble the cobbler per the directions.
Do the biscuits HAVE to go on the bottom of the dish? The picture looks like they’re on TOP.
Yes, they do. They expand while baking and puff up. Please follow the recipe.
Hello, your recipe sounds delicious. However is there a smaller amount of all ingredients I can use or is this amount ok for Two people. Thanks for your help.
Hi Donna, this recipe can easily be halved for a smaller amount.
Thanks so much for the quick response Melissa. Just ignore the last question, hit the wrong button. Thanks again and that really helps, makes since now. 🙂
Hi Melissa, This is going to be dumb question, but I’m a little confused about how many eggs to use? Can I just use 12 Large eggs? Please help so I can make this for my family. Have a wonderful day and God Bless you. 🙂
Hi Joann, I was giving you two options. For the filling you can use:
1) 2 cups of egg whites whisked with 4 whole eggs to add a little richness (i.e. Egg Beaters or similar)
OR
2) 12 large eggs
The ratio of liquid would need to be adjusted in that case. Perhaps take a look at this recipe of mine on PARADE and use sausage in place of the ham.

Could this be made without the bisuits, possibly adding veggies with the sausage? Thanks
They should work fine, they may not take as long to bake. Enjoy!
Looking forward to trying this -hope I can find frozen buttermilk biscuits here in Canada as I can’t say that I’ve ever seen them. If not, will use Pilsbury refrigerated. Thanks!
