    My family loves breakfast casseroles! They are easy to prep ahead and then pop in the oven when we're ready to eat.

    They also make a great option for those breakfast-for-dinner nights.

    This sausage breakfast casserole doesn't take long at all to put together. It can be served right away or chilled for later. It's tasty and makes a hearty meal. 

    How to make sausage breakfast casserole

    Hash browns and sausage in a baking dish

    This breakfast casserole is simple to make! Just layer the thawed hashbrowns, cooked breakfast sauage, and cheese.

    Then pour the egg mixture over the top and bake. It's that easy!

    Can this casserole be made ahead (overnight)?

    Yes! To prep the casserole, make through step 7. Then, cover and chill until ready to bake. Be sure to uncover before baking.

    You can chill the casserole for a couple hours or overnight. I recommend setting the casserole out while you preheat the oven to let it start to come up to temperature.

    If you've made the casserole in a glass dish, you won't want to put the cold dish into a hot oven.

    How long will the sausage breakfast casserole stay good for?

    The cooked casserole will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    How to reheat this breakfast casserole

    This casserole works well when reheated in the microwave.

    Can I use a different type of meat?

    You can! Feel free to put your own spin on this casserole by using hot sausage, chorizo, or any other meat that you like.

    Make it non-dairy

    You can omit the cheese and use nondairy milk (i.e. almond or cashew) in place of the dairy milk in this recipe.

    What to serve with this breakfast casserole

    I serve this casserole topped with pico de gallo and fresh cilantro. I usually serve muffins alongside the casserole to round out the meal.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound breakfast sausage
    • 30 ounce package frozen hash browns with onion and peppers thawed
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon pepper
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
    • 6 large eggs
    • 2 cups milk

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
    • Cook sausages in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.
    • Add hash browns in an even layer in prepared baking dish.
    • Top with cooked sausage.
    • Sprinkle ½ cup cheese over sausage.
    • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
    • Pour over cheese.
    • Bake 30-45 minutes.
    • Top with remaining ½ cup cheese, and return to oven for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese has melted.

    Notes

    1. To make overnight, prepare through step 7. Cover, and chill overnight. In the morning, set casserole out while you preheat the oven. Uncover, and bake as directed. You may find that you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes of baking time depending on how cold the casserole is.

      5 stars
      Loved the eggs, hash browns and sausage together, they made a perfect marriage. Hadn’t thought of adding pico de gallo on top, but that fresh pop with the egg casserole really was amazing. Will definitely make this again.
