This easy breakfast casserole recipe with eggs, potatoes and sausage is a perfect dish to serve for any meal, even beyond breakfast and brunch. It combines nutrient-dense eggs with spiced Italian sausage, oozy mozzarella or cheddar cheese, and sweet bell peppers for a tasty, balanced meal.
Preparing the Perfect Breakfast Casserole
Breakfast casseroles require a fair amount of cook time. But once the eggs are cooked, you don’t want to leave them sitting in the oven until the meat and veggies are tender. This would cause the eggs to dry out.
For this reason, all the filling components for this sausage breakfast casserole are cooked in advance before hitting the baking dish. I pre-blanch the potatoes in boiling water. Then I sauté the vegetable mixture and spiced sausage in a skillet. That way all parts are cooked by the time the eggs are set. This is also a good idea for your favourite quiche recipes or frittata recipes.
Another excellent way of ensuring perfectly tender, custard-like eggs in your easy breakfast casserole is to incorporate fat. In the case of this breakfast casserole, shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese and a ⅓ cup milk lighten up the egg mixture. They make the casserole delightfully fluffy.
Also, try not to overbake your eggs. A good rule of thumb is to cook the casserole until the middle has the slightest movement but is otherwise set. This casserole dish has a total time of 30 minutes for baking.
A Healthy Breakfast Casserole with Potatoes
I like to call this easy breakfast a healthy breakfast casserole because unlike most breakfast casserole recipes, it is made entirely from scratch and with only whole food ingredients. Instead of frozen hash browns, I make this breakfast casserole with fresh potatoes that are parboiled before baking.
I even make my potato breakfast casserole with sausage that I flavor myself by simply mixing ground pork with spices. Additionally, as with all shredded cheese recipes, I recommend shredding your own from a block of mozzarella or cheddar cheese to add to your egg mixture for this sausage egg potato casserole. It's so quick and easy to do (and cheaper), while you get to avoid all the added stuff (wood pulp etc.) in pre-shredded cheddar cheese.
A Clean-Out-the-Fridge Dish
Any egg recipe is excellent for using up leftovers in the refrigerator. An easy meal to prepare when you might be low on almost everything else. Generally, before a grocery shop, many people tend to have eggs, milk, blocks of mozzarella or cheddar cheese. And vegetables like broccoli and mushrooms, or greens like spinach that are just past their prime for fresh eating.
If you have some bacon or ham that need to be used, that works well in place of the sausage. This easy breakfast casserole is the place to use them whether you want to enjoy this baked casserole dish for breakfast or make breakfast for dinner. "Brinner" is a favorite around our house.
Substitutions for Restricted Diets
If you have a dietary restriction or are short on an ingredient, it is still possible to prepare this breakfast casserole recipe. For lactose-free diets, use your favourite lactose-free milk and cheese to make this a dairy-free egg recipe with excellent results.
For gluten-free, this casserole contains all traditionally gluten-free ingredients. However, you should always read cheese labels to make sure the cheese doesn’t contain wheat. Additionally, it is beneficial to ensure that the cheese wasn’t processed in a facility that also makes gluten-filled products.
Although cheddar cheese and mozzarella are recommended, you could really use anything that becomes similarly melty and stretchy. Swiss, Gruyere, and Gouda would all be excellent choices to add to your egg mixture. Don’t use drier cheeses like Parmesan or crumbly ones like goat cheese or feta. They won’t sufficiently melt into the egg mixture giving the breakfast casserole that creamy texture.
How Far in Advance Can you Prep an Egg Bake?
This egg casserole recipe can also easily be turned into a make-ahead breakfast casserole. Which is perfect to serve to guests who are staying overnight during the holidays or any other time of year. You can completely prepare everything the night before. In the morning, all you do is take the pan with the sausage egg casserole from the fridge and pop it in the oven.
Half an hour later a complete breakfast is ready to be served. Well, you should probably brew a pot of coffee (or tea) as well and some crusty bread with this casserole dish is never a bad idea either.
Tips for Preparing this Breakfast Casserole
- Don’t Overmix: When you mix the eggs with the milk, cheese, and black pepper, mix just until combined. If over combined, the egg mixture could souffle in the oven due to too much air.
- Rest the Casserole: Allow your casserole to rest for at least 10 minutes after coming out of the oven. This will make your egg bake easier to slice so that it comes out in clean, attractive pieces!
- Don’t Overbake: Just set, custardy eggs are heavenly. You can test whether the eggs are done by shaking the baking dish gently. If the eggs are completely set with just a slight jiggle in the middle, they will be perfect.
Storing Leftovers
You can store any leftovers of this egg casserole in an airtight container in the fridge. For food safety reasons, you shouldn’t keep cooked eggs in your fridge for longer than three or four days. But this overnight breakfast casserole likely isn’t going to last that long anyway.
The casserole can be frozen AFTER baking. Just wrap it well to prevent freezer burn or it taking on smells from the freezer. Then defrost in the fridge overnight and re-heat in the oven again. Or if you only want to reheat individual servings, be sure to cut up the casserole before freezing, and wrapping in smaller servings. Smaller servings can also be re-heated in the microwave or on the stovetop on low heat in a covered pan.

Random Questions
A typical breakfast casserole comprises eggs, potatoes, and sausage, along with cheese and various vegetables for added flavor and texture.
Unlike a frittata, a breakfast casserole involves pre-cooked ingredients layered in a baking dish, while a frittata is cooked in a skillet and finished under the broiler, resulting in a different texture and cooking method.
To ensure food safety, the overnight breakfast casserole can be stored in the fridge for up to three or four days before it should be consumed or frozen.
To determine doneness, gently shake the baking dish; if the eggs are set with a slight jiggle in the middle, the casserole is perfectly cooked and ready to be served.
Paul
Looking forward to trying this! Can you cook this halfway so it will set a bit the first day and the second half the next morning? E-mail me directly if you would please.
Regina | Leelalicious
For food safety reasons you should bake the egg casserole to an internal temperature of 160°F the first time around. Once that temperature is reaches, you can remove it, and continue baking/reheating the next day.
Doug
Absolutely perfect! I added a little bacon and used Jimmy Dean sausage because that’s all I had in the fridge and it was delicious!! Will use this one again and highly recommend.
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
It sounds delicious with both the bacon and sausage! Thanks for your review, Doug. 🙂
Marilyn
Can you use simply potatoes (diced potatoes) with onions instead of fresh potatoes?
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
Hi Marilyn, thanks for your question! Are you referring to using frozen diced potatoes rather than fresh diced potatoes? I think that would work fine. Plus, you would be able to skip the step of parboiling the potatoes at the beginning of the recipe.
Jennifer
“Best brunch ever!” This is what my family and guests said after I served this up today. Even my kids had two servings each! I had marble cheese on hand so used that. The home made sausage was such a hit I don’t think I’ll go back to store bought again. So fresh, easy, delicious, and really great that it is all fresh and whole food. Thank you!!!
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
Thanks so much for your positive review and for letting us know how much your kids enjoyed it too. 🙂

Hi, Regina!
This morning, December 31, I served the Breakfast Casserole. Our guest (a large man) ate 1/3 of the 9x13 casserole dish! LOL. No problem--we have leftovers for ourselves. I substituted Sweet Potato for the regular potato. My husband gave the recipe 3.5 stars because of the Sweet Potato; he prefers regular potatoes. My guest and I liked the Sweet Potato, and the recipe was easy to make, even with my substitutions and additions, so I personally gave the recipe 5 stars. Because of my guest's & husband's kidney issues, I used Sweet Potato and added green beans for color (because I had green beans on hand and wanted more veggies in there for my large guest.) I also used chicken pieces instead of sausage because of their kidney-care diet. Next time, I'm using potatoes and sausage (which I will need to make from scratch because I can't find good sausage where I live in Mexico). I like that the recipe can be made the night before. That worked out great for us because our guest spent the night----we had the OnePot Chicken and Rice for supper last night and this Breakfast Casserole this morning. Regina, your recipes are so well designed! Thanks! I look forward to more of your novel ideas in the coming years. Sincerely, Debi C.
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
Hi Debi! Thank you for your comments on this recipe and for letting us know about your modifications. It is always great to see how cooks like yourself make the recipes their own. 🙂
Tracy
Can I use smoked sausage and slice it and cook partially and let it finish cooking in the oven?
Tracy
Can I use smoked sausage and slice it and cook partially and let it finish cooking in the oven?
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
Hi Tracy, absolutely! I think that should work out very well.
Ella
I made this for my family for Christmas breakfast. I am dairy-free but my family is not. I spit the potatoes, sausage, etc. into 2 8x8 pans. Then I used half the eggs with almond milk and DF cheese and the other half regular. My family loved the regular and the DF was also awesome!
Annette
Made this today after doing vegetable prep work last night .It really is a very versatile recipe which could be made as mild or as spicy as you prefer .Turned out great !! Enjoyed by all !!No leftovers !!
Sarah Jane
I've been looking for a good breakfast casserole recipe that I can make the night before. So I think this is it I will try it tonight. I also really like your idea of freezing individual portions. And I had no idea how easy it is to make your own sausage! That is something I am definitely going to do. This is my first day at your website and I'm so glad I found it. Thank you.
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
I'm so glad you love the tips! Being able to freeze this casserole is definitely a gamechanger.
Sylvia
Thank you for bread recipe , it’s quite hard to find some flours , for some reason even though we ate loads of tiger nuts in the 1940s they disappeared never to be seen again so substituting is great off to make a banana bread I’m in uk .
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
Thanks for your note, Sylvia! 🙂
Tom
We really enjoyed your recipe! My wife cooks a little, but I am the main chef at home and I was looking for a recipe to use up a bunch of eggs since we have 50 plus hens that give us a lot more than we can eat. LOL! Of course we sell the majority of our eggs :). I ended up doubling the recipe, but using 18 eggs instead of 12. I also liked the idea of using fresh potatoes. I used 42 oz. of washed unpeeled yellow/gold potatoes, diced/cubed them up as suggested, but I decided to sauté/fry them on medium heat in olive oil until they were slightly softened. We buy a half a hog every year and used 2 pounds of bulk ground hot Italian sausage from our stash. I then used 4 diced different colors of bell peppers, that totaled probably 2 or 3 peppers at most. I then diced 2 small to medium sweet onions. Also as suggested I used 6 or so fresh crushed garlic cloves. We didn't have mild cheddar or just mozzarella by itself, but we did have mixed shredded cheeses that I used. I ended up using 4 cups of a Mexican cheese blend, that I mixed into the entire casserole mix, and then sprinkled an Italian cheese blend on top, along with some shredded sharp cheddar. We or should say I love cheese. LOL! So of course what I ended up with is two 9 X 13 baking dishes. My wife got home from work and was pleased to see dinner waiting, but asked me what are we supposed to do with both casseroles, since there is only the 2 of us. I ended up putting the second unbaked casserole in the fridge and was thinking about freezing it, but I think I should bake it first before freezing, would that be your suggestion? After a little rambling here, I just wanted to thank you for sharing this recipe. I use a lot of other written recipes and do tend to tweak here and there, but I always appreciate the added suggestions and help. It gives me a base to work with. We will definitely use this again. Thanks again!
Regina | Leelalicious
Thank you Tom for sharing how you modified the recipe for yourself. Everything sounds delicious. And you are on the right track. The casserole can be frozen AFTER baking. Just wrap it well to prevent freezer burn or it taking on smells from the freezer. Then defrost in the fridge overnight and re-heat in the oven again. Or if you only want to reheat individual servings, be sure to cut up the casserole before freezing, and wrapping in smaller servings. Smaller servings can also be re-heated in the microwave or on the stovetop on low heat in a covered pan.
Patty
This was good but I had way too many potatoes I think...I ended up adding two more eggs to the recipe (with proportionate milk and pepper) and I still would have liked even more egg in it to balance everything out. And I also baked it for about 10 min longer.
Ali
This is an easy, simple, and delicious recipe. I don’t see how anyone could give it any less than 5 stars!
Jessica
Would the leftovers freeze and reheat well?
Regina | Leelalicious
Yes. We do it all the time. Either in a skillet on low heat or the microwave
Toni
I have absolutely no idea how much 20 ounces of potatoes is. I’ve never seen a recipe stated this way.
Regina | Leelalicious
It is 1.25 pounds if that helps
Tanya
These are a family favorite at our house. I tend to try to add too much to it though. Your picture and recipe help encourage me to keep it simple. It looks fantastic!
Regina
Thank you Tanya! So glad to hear your family enjoys the breakfast casserole recipe. It's perfect for the holidays
stephanie
If I cut this recipe in half, and used a smaller baking dish, would i need to change the baking time at all?
Regina
The baking time should be very similar. Maybe start checking about 10 minutes earlier though just to be sure.
Joe
I somehow got lassoed into cooking breakfast for church next sunday. This looks good for a large group so I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes. uh boy wish me luck; not that the recipe needs it, but my cooking skills do.
Regina
Let me know how it goes/went! Did you multiply the breakfast casserole recipe
Joe Rimkus
Everyone loved the breakfast casserole, huge success. Perfect recipe for a large crowd. I ended up using 30 eggs, 7 lbs of potatoes, 2lbs cheese, 3 lbs breakfast sausage, mushrooms and olives.
I'll probably do it again, will change one thing: split the mixture into two pans instead of one big one. It took too long to cook such a large amount, outside cooked sooner than the middle. What I had to do is stir the mixture after 45 minutes so it heat evenly.
Daniella
Hi Regina! I love this recipe! If I wanted to make it as a meal prep for the week, how long can I keep it in the freezer?
Regina
Hi Daniella, if properly wrapped it could be good in the freezer for several months. If you mean the fridge, it's 4 days
Melissa Torres
Love the addition of the potatoes. I make something like this with a croissant crust and I always think it's a waste of calories when I'd rather have more of the other ingredients. This is brilliant!
Regina
The croissant crust sounds intriguing though!
Gwen
I am heading to a family reunion (quite rustic). I was wondering about cooking this breakfast casserole ahead of time and freezing it. I will have an oven available at the reunion. I would make it as described and then freeze it. I would then thaw it and reheat it in the oven. Any advice on this or any changes you would make to have this be successful? Thanks!!
Regina
That sounds like a good plan to me. If the casserole is fully thawed I don't think it should take too long to reheat (no risk of drying it out)
Lisa Moss
I made this easy breakfast casserole yesterday for Easter and it was a hit.
No leftovers! I used Jimmy Deans hot sausage to give it a kick. I forgot to add the green onions before serving because I got sidetracked but will definitely be making it again. I’ve made breakfast casseroles in the past and they were just ok. This was great. Thank for this recipe!
Lisa Moss
Forgot to rate it but I’d give it 5 stars!
Regina
Thanks for that!!
Regina
Yay I am so happy to hear this was enjoyed by everyone!!
Peachy
For your own breakfast sausage recipe, does 1t means tbsp or tsp?
Regina
A lower case t means teaspoon. Tablespoon would be capital T
Meg
Quick question! For the make ahead option, your instructions say "...take from the fridge and pop it in the oven. Continue with the instructions in the middle of 5." So, do you bake for 20 minutes, then put in the fridge and heat the rest of the way in the morning, or just assemble and store in the fridge and bake in entirety in the morning? Thank you!
Regina
Sorry, I will make this more clear in the instructions. Sprinkle the cheese on top, cover with foil and put in the fridge overnight. Then bake for 20 minutes covered, and 10-15 minutes uncovered.
Rachel Brink
What kind of potatoes are you using? Shredded hash browns? Cubed? Fresh or frozen?
Regina
I use fresh potatoes that I peel and cube
Heidi
Hello, the breakfast casserole sounds fantastic would love to make it for work Monday morning and would love to use my casserole crockpot. Have you ever tried cooking this in a crockpot?
Regina
I have never tried this in a crock pot though I have heard of slow cooker egg casseroles. I don't see why this one wouldn't work the same way
Allie
This breakfast casserole sounds delicious! I'm wondering if I could cut it in half as it's just for two and utilize a 8x8 dish. Also maybe reduce the peppers by a little and add chopped tomatoes.
Regina
Yes, you can definitely cut in half and make it in an 8x8 pan. And the veggies are totally interchangeable in this dish
Greg
If i use a 8x8 dish with the complete recipe, do i cook it longer or does it matter?(already preped in the dish)
Will i have a mess now?
Regina
Hi Greg, sounds like this reply will come too late for you. But for anyone else trying to bake this easy breakfast casserole in a smaller dish, you'll need to add probably 10 minutes to the baking time or check until the eggs are more or less set.
jasmyn
Hey what is the nutrition info for this like Cal sodium carb serving size etc
Tatiana Temple
I am making this tonight for dinner and want to add some spinach and skip the peppers because my husband won't eat them. Should I just use the same amount of spinach that it calls for with peppers? Also, I should just put the spinach in raw, correct?
Regina
Love that you are making this for dinner! Sorry this may be a little late, but yes use raw spinach, maybe cut up a bit. Once diced pepper is probably about 1 - 1.5 cups worth, so yes I would probably do about the same amount of cut up spinach
Grace
Thank you, however I followed the direction to bake, but was still not complete baked using the direction. What am I doing wrong? I also prepped it the night before. We have an electric stove.
Please help
Regina
It may be your oven temperature runs a little lower than indicated? I would just continue baking until the eggs are more or less set
Grace
Hi does it matter if I use metal or glass casserole dish when you prep it the night before?
Regina
I've done both with no issues. I wouldn't use a scratched up rusty metal dish though
Michelle @ Vitamin Sunshine
Yum! I love the tiny hand sprinkling cheese in your video 🙂 I am making my first video and I think I need to stop trying to make it perfect and just publish. I have retaped it 4 times now and still am not totally happy. We have like 9 batches of granola bars in my freezer from all of it.
Regina
Love that you noticed my toddler helping out. It wasn't intentional. Usually I try to keep her faaar away when I shoot video. She snuck in here and when I reviewed the clips I thought it was quite cute actually.
Yes! Stop trying to be perfect. My best performing videos are definitely not my best work. A lot has to do with the type of recipe as well. And I'd gladly take a few of those granola bar batches off your hands 😉
Christine
What would the calorie count be per serving? Around about
Sydne
Just tried this breakfast casserole. YUUUUUUM!
Regina
Awesome! Thank you for your feedback, Sydne 🙂
Jenn
It said prep time was only 15 min. Apparently you didn't use all fresh ingredients as i did. Cause it just took an hour from the time I started perping to putting it in the oven.
Jill
Same with me. Between peeling and dicing the potatoes, onions, peppers, garlic and shredding the cheese, sauteeing the sausage and chopped veggies, boiling the potatoes, it took much longer than 15 minutes to prep. Closer to 45 minutes.
Angela O'Mahony
Hi Regina, I've been trying to figure out why you state that using the overnight option would make it gluten free. I've read and re-read your ingredients and instructions multiple times but I'm not seeing anything that would have made it NOT gluten free even if making it right before you served it. Thanks,
Regina
My apologies, Angela. My wording is a little confusing there. What I am trying to say is, that the recipe is entirely gluten free/clean eating and if you go with the overnight option, it will be perfect for Christmas morning 🙂
Heather goodwin
Do you have the nutritional value for this recipe?
Christina
Hi Regina,
I'd like to bake it, what is the temp I should set it too and how long is the baking time?
Thanks
Christina
Regina
Please check the recipe box above for the detailed instructions.
Sherry
I made this Christmas morning for five family members & it's supper good all gone
Regina
Awesome! No leftovers is one of the best compliments 🙂
teresa
I fix something similar to this but use French bread in mine, tear it up into pieces and pour everything else on top of it.
Regina
Love that idea of bread on top! Another component for a complete meal all in one dish
Janice
Would I need to defrost the frozen hash browns before using them? Thank you
Regina
Yes, I think thawing the hash browns would be best. I believe frozen ones would prolong the baking time a lot which would probably be weird for the eggs.
Melise
Anyone tried this with bacon instead of sausage?
Regina
I am sure it would taste just as well. I would also use 1 pound of bacon, I think and cook it ahead, then crumble before mixing with other ingredients.
Tina
Hello, I'd like to make the overnight version of this for tomorrow, Thanksgiving morning, but I do not see the instructions to do so. Please help. Thanks!
Regina
You can prepare it completely the night before. In the morning, all you do, is take it from the fridge and pop it in the oven.
Cristine
Hi Regina I just came cross this recipe and would like to try it this Thanksgiving.. Can you tell me what kind of cheese is best to use. Thanks. Hope I get a response in time.
Regina
Hi Cristine, for casseroles I use a mozzarella or mild cheddar. Those are always a safe bet.
Lorie
Regina, I'm planning to make this next weekend for a brunch. I see that this recipe serves 6 to 8, and there will be 10 of us. Does it work well to just throw in some extra eggs and maybe more meat? Maybe bake it 10 minutes longer? I don't want to double the recipe. I hope you can respond in time. Thanks!
Regina
Hi Lorie, yes you can totally stretch it with more eggs, meat etc. make a few more servings. It will be thicker, but as long as it fits your baking dish there should be no problem. And yes, cooking times will be longer. Just check to make sure the eggs are set.
Karen B
I'm in Texaa and I make something similar with breakfast sausage and include a can of green chiles for spunk. I have also substituted black beans for the sausage for the vegetarians.
Regina
Green chiles and black beans sound awesome!
wendy
Is it good reheated?
Regina
Hi Wendy, I have definitely reheated and enjoyed this casserole. Just keep in mind that reheated egg never is quite the same as freshly cooked.
wendy
Thank you!
karen propst
Can you make ahead /bake and put in freezer for a week or two ?
Regina
Hi Karen, I haven't tried it myself, but from what I've read many have success pre-baking, freezing and then reheating quiches. So I think it should also work fine for this egg based casserole.
chelsea
Who thinks this would work with ground turkey? Want to make a big batch to take to work but only have ground turkey.
Regina
I think it will be great with ground turkey as well 🙂
Danielle
How many potatoes is 20 ounces?
Regina
Potatoes come in many different sizes but I would say about 2 large or 3-4 medium ones.
Amanda
What can you use instead of fresh potatoes ? Trying to save time from having to peel and dice potatoes
Regina
I am sure frozen hashbrowns might work
Doris
I make a dish similar to this but I use frozen hash browns, and add what ever veggies I have on hand such as mushrooms, spinach, etc. I also serve with salsa for those that want a little kick.
Regina
Nice! I like a little kick and usually add some Sriracha to my eggs. Salsa sounds awesome too!
Becca
Instead of hash browns, how about O'Brian potatoes, which already have the onion and peppers? I like short cuts. Lol
k
I made this over the weekend. Hubby loved it, but I thought there was too much cheese. I only had chicken sausage in casing so I just chopped it up instead of crumbling. I think next time I would skip the cheese on top, add another egg or two, and definitely more veggies, but what a great starting point! Thank you!
Regina
Thank you for your feedback.
Ben Di Gaudio
Hi Kay.You can use any combination and any amount of any ingredient that suites you and your family"s taste. Don't mess with the wonderful lady's hard work of putting it together. If you don't like the recipe, move on. Personally I think that it's simply great. Go with flow and live longer. As for you Regina, thank you for a great and easy recipe.Ben
Melissa Belanger
This sounds so good! I'm just now getting into breakfast sausage (I've always been a bacon girl, but things change), and I have been looking for new ideas to use it! I love it 🙂 Pinned!
Regina
I haven't always been a breakfast sausage fan either. It wasn't until marrying my husband that I came to enjoy hearty breakfasts. I am still not fan of laboring in the kitchen before breakfast, so this make-ahead version is the only way I cook hearty breakfast 🙂
Amy
We make a a few pans for the holidays. It works really well for us since we have many guests and it is a great way to serve everyone at the same time.
Regina
Yes!! I am glad to hear this concept works well for your. Didn't even think of the benefit of serving everyone at once.
Jo
Can you freeze this sausage casserole?
Regina
I haven't tried freezing it, but I think you could freeze it after baking and cooling. Then thaw and reheat. Freezing it uncooked will give the eggs a weird texture, I think.
