Breakfast Casserole
My favorite part about breakfast casseroles is that they really are easy to make. The ingredients are basic; we’re talking eggs, sausage, cheese, potatoes and loads of your favorite veggies. Breakfast casseroles are great because you can hide all your veggies in there and they will still taste good, plus you’ll feel you’re eating somewhat healthy.

This is actually quite a versatile breakfast casserole. You can use your favorite veggies and your favorite protein. I love using Italian sausage in this, but chorizo would be great, other options would be ground chicken, ground turkey, ground pork, or ground beef. If you’re using a ground meat, you might want to add more spices and herbs for additional flavor.
Ingredient Notes
Sausage – I used Italian. You can use any type that you like best! Onion – I like to use white onions in a recipe like this because onion has a very mild flavor. Whatever type of onion you have handy will work. Mushrooms – White mushrooms or cremini mushrooms are great in this recipe. Bell peppers – I used green and red peppers for some nice pops of color. Of course, you can use any type you like. Eggs – Lots of large large eggs. Adjust as necessary if you use a different size. Milk – You can amp it up with some cream if you don’t mind the extra calories, but any %MF milk will work here. Salt & pepper – Season this casserole to your own preference. Red pepper flakes – I like to add a little bit of heat to this casserole. You can use more, less, or omit the pepper flakes completely. Hash browns – I used a bag of frozen hash browns to make this recipe nice and easy. They don’t need to be thawed before using them. You can use fresh diced or shredded potatoes as well. Mozzarella cheese – The more cheese the merrier! You can adjust the amount of cheese used in this recipe if you’d like. Green onion – These get mixed into the casserole with a bit leftover to sprinkle as a fresh garnish at the very end.

Freezer
To freeze unbaked breakfast casserole: Wrap the casserole dish in plastic wrap and foil, and it will last up to 2 months frozen. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake remove the plastic and foil, give everything a quick stir, then bake as directed. To freeze baked breakfast casserole: Transfer to an airtight container and it will keep for 2-3 months. I prefer to freeze casseroles in individually sized containers for easier thawing. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight, or you can pop it in the microwave. Keep in mind that when cooked eggs freeze and thaw, they give off extra liquid.
