Most families don’t have the luxury of enjoying a meal together in the morning, so most of us are missing out on a whole category of amazing meals. Opting for breakfast for dinner one or two times a week can really inspire some creativity in the kitchen – plus, kids love it!
Another huge benefit is that breakfast dishes tend to cook up really quickly so they’re perfect to throw together at the end of a busy day.

Hempler’s high-quality bacon is local northwest favorite and would be perfect as part of your breakfast for dinner – but they also have fresh ground sausage & breakfast links available, too! They’re widely available in local Safeway & Albertson’s stores so pick some up and your meal is bound to be a hit with the whole household.
When making breakfast for dinner, think outside the box and don’t just make your run-of-the-mill breakfast dishes. Pour pancake batter over slices of bacon to create family-friendly breakfast dippers, make a bacon-stuffed French toast, create a DIY omelet bar, or whip up a one-of-a-kind quiche with whatever you have in your fridge. We’ve rounded up some great breakfast-for-dinner recipe ideas that you could make using Hempler’s amazing products, and read on to find my super easy sausage-stuffed breakfast biscuits that your kids are going to love.
Breakfast for Dinner Recipe Ideas:
Quiche (recommended fillings: ham or bacon & cheese; sausage & veggies)
Southwest Style Breakfast Casserole (low carb)
Cheesy Bacon Hash Brown Waffles
Sausage-Stuffed Breakfast Biscuits
These breakfast dippers have only three ingredients and are super easy and filling. Yes, you could make biscuits from scratch but we’re looking for quick & easy recipe ideas here – and it doesn’t get much simpler than this. So make your own biscuit mix if you’d like, but use the boxed stuff if you want this recipe to come together quickly. While they’re baking, scramble some eggs stove-top and you’ve got a complete meal to serve to your family.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 C Bisquick Pancake & Baking Mix
- 2/3 C milk
- 8 Hempler’s breakfast link sausages, cooked
- syrup (optional, for dipping)
Instructions:
- Combine Bisquick & milk. Don’t over-mix or your biscuits will be tough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Spread biscuit mix in an oblong shape the length of a sausage. Repeat, making 8 sausage “beds” on your baking sheet.
- Place one sausage on each section of biscuit mix.
- Put biscuit mix on top of each sausage.
- Using your fingers, spread the biscuit mix until the sausage is completely encased. (Tip: This works best if your fingers are wet. Place a small dish of water next to your work station.)
- Bake for 8-10 minutes at 450 degrees, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with syrup for dipping.
