Easy Sausage Breakfast Casserole
My kids love a good sausage breakfast casserole and this one is simple yet very delicious. The simple ingredients in this sausage, egg and cheese breakfast casserole combine to make a delicious but easy breakfast casserole.
Now I normally make this in my 9×13 pyrex baking dish, however, around the holidays when life gets crazy I like to use these 9×13 foil pans so I can just toss the pan away. No cleaning involved! In fact, I use them much more than I want to admit around the holidays!
Can you make this sausage casserole ahead of time?
One of my favorite things about breakfast casseroles is that you can make them ahead of time! So I like to mix them up when I have an extra pocket of time, since I tend to not function the best before coffee. 🙂 It only takes about 15 minutes to prep and mix it together and then I have breakfast waiting in the fridge!
An uncooked breakfast casserole can last in the fridge overnight and up to 24 hours before it needs to be baked. Simply prepare the casserole up until baking, just cover the pan place in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake it, uncover and bake as directed.
How to store breakfast casserole:
This easy breakfast casserole is so easy to store, too! If you happen to have leftovers, you can keep them in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 4 days.
Or you can freeze them! Either freeze in an airtight container, ziplock bag or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Bring the casserole back to room temperature before warming back up.

I haven’t tried that but I would think you would need to increase the cooking time with the increase of the eggs.
This sounds delicious. I’d like to make this for Christmas for family of big eaters.Think this would work if I increase eggs to 12, and milk to 3/4 C. with increased baking time?
Made this for Christmas! Everyone enjoyed it and put it together the night before which was a plus.
I’m so glad you enjoy it!
I love hash browns. This recipe is a total hit.
This can be more creative than making pizza, it’s great, I love any dish with bell peppers.
I made this for Easter Brunch and it was delicious. We had leftovers to enjoy during the week.
Yes, that will work great!
Can you make this with shredded hash browns instead?
Great weekend breakfast!
I made this and it was delicious. My whole family loved it!!
We made this on breakfast for dinner night. Left out the sausage because we didn’t have any and it was still delish!
Delish and now leftovers will feed breakfast thru the week. So good!
