Overnight Sausage Breakfast Casserole Make Ahead Spendwithpennies

Breakfast casserole is literally my favorite breakfast recipe of all time and everyone raves about it. Serve with a fresh fruit salad!

A Favorite Breakfast Made Easy

My Mom has made bacon breakfast casserole on Christmas morning for as long as I can and either one is my absolute favorite holiday dish (along with a classic stuffing recipe of course).

I love that overnight casseroles (both in the oven and a Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole) can be prepped the night before making it perfect for holidays, weekends and even for overnight guests.

How to Make a Sausage Breakfast Casserole

This sausage egg casserole is very simple to make!

Place bread cubes, chopped peppers and cooked sausage in a casserole dish (per recipe below).
Combine eggs, milk and cheese. Pour over bread.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best). This allows the bread cubes to soak up the egg mixture.
In the morning just bake and serve!

This quick and easy casserole recipe can be made the night before for a worry-free weekend breakfast (or prep in the morning to bake for dinner after a long day).

Variations on Sausage Breakfast Casserole

I love adding Italian sausage to this recipe along with fresh red and green peppers because the sausage has so much flavor!

Meat: Sausage is my first choice in this recipe, it has lots of flavor!
Vegetables: I use peppers and onions for flavor. Any veggie will do (including leftover roasted veggies). If your vegetables are watery (like mushrooms) be sure to pre-cook them so they don’t make the casserole watery. If you use veggies like asparagus or broccoli, steam until tender crisp.
Cheese: Use whatever you have on hand! Gruyere or a bit of swiss also add a great flavor.

Substituting Bread With Hashbrowns

While I much prefer the consistency of this dish using bread cubes, you can certainly make this into a sausage hashbrown casserole in place of bread. You can also use leftover rolls, hot dog buns… pretty much any dry bread will work!

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, this dish reheats really well and freezes perfectly.
