The ONLY Breakfast Casserole Recipe you will ever need.
It’s easy, delicious, and fool proof! And who doesn’t love Breakfast Casserole? It’s one of those things I’ve been making for years, and quite honestly, will continue to make forever and always.
Loaded with breakfast sausage, onion, garlic, sourdough bread, creamy eggs, and cheddar cheese. Its a classic recipe with seriously amazing flavor. Most definitely a back pocket recipe.
The best part?
It can be made ahead and simply popped in the oven the next morning. Enjoy with friends on the weekend or family during the holidays!
Make-Ahead breakfasts during the holidays are my saving grace! All you have to do is set aside about 20-30 minutes the night before, and voila! The next morning is a breeze. You’ll have a delicious breakfast casserole baking away in the oven making the house smell like a dream! AND you can fully embrace and enjoy the morning with your family.
Sit back and sip on your coffee and you can thank me later.
This easy Breakfast Casserole recipe has been my go-to for YEARS. I’ve made it countless times for family gatherings, lake weekends, vacations at the beach, bachelorette parties, brunch parties at home, you name it. It’s just easy, delicious, and always a hit.
