This casserole is packed with flavorful meats and potatoes, also perfectly cheesy, and undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser! If you are searching for another breakfast casserole that you can easily make, this Cheesy Potato Breakfast Casserole is an amazing option! This casserole has been my go-to holiday breakfast for years. It’s super good, and simple, yet filled with absolutely wonderful flavors! Also, leftovers reheat great!
I love that I can assemble this casserole the night before and pop this in the oven the next day. It makes life so much easier, especially during the busy holidays (or any day!). This cheesy, buttery, and peppery casserole is always a hit! Almost like hash browns smothered and covered. You can try slicing some ripe tomatoes and tossing them on top for an extra layer of goodness!
Ingredients
7 eggs
1 lb Italian Sausage, cooked
1/2 c. milk
1 yellow onion, chopped, sauteed in sausage grease
20 oz. bag frozen Diced Hash Browns
Salt & Pepper, to taste
8 oz. brick of Mild Cheddar Cheese, grated
How to make Cheesy Potato Breakfast Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Using a nonstick spray, grease a medium (9 x 13-inch) casserole dish and set aside.
Step 2: Ready the onions and sausage.
Step 3: Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl including the sausage and onions. Mix well, then transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Make sure to set aside roughly 1 c of the cheese for later.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake the casserole for about 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, take the casserole out of the oven and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top. Then, resume baking for another 8 minutes.
Step 5: Once the casserole is done, let it rest for about 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy!
