Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
  • 4 cups frozen diced hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing the dish
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish using non-stick spray or butter.
  • Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
  • Add the thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, diced onion, bell peppers, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Gently fold together until evenly mixed.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
  • Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil if prepping ahead and refrigerate overnight.
  • If baking immediately, place uncovered casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is golden brown.
  • If baking from chilled, increase bake time to 60-65 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to firm up and make serving easier.
  • Notes

    Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole is a savory breakfast dish with eggs, sausage, potatoes, and cheese that can be prepped the night before and baked in the morning for a creamy and crispy comfort meal.
