Overnight Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole is a user-friendly casserole recipe that’s simple to put together and tastes amazing!
I love breakfast casserole. In fact, I love them so much that we have them for dinner, or brinner as the boys call it, a lot. Breakfast casseroles are super convenient to make for tailgating when we have an 11:00 am game.
My Overnight Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole is not just for breakfast, brunch or Christmas morning! Although it is perfect for Christmas morning, it’s actually perfect for any morning because you put it together the night before.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast for your family the Overnight Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole will be perfect for you. There are three simple steps to making it.

Overnight Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole
I have two goals with it comes to cooking and eating. I want something easy to prepare and I want to eat with my family.
Overnight Breakfast Sausage Casserole makes a time-saving breakfast or dinner. You can simply make it 6 to 8 hours ahead of time, then bake when you’re ready. One of the ingredients that also help in the meal prep of this casserole recipe is Bacon Bits. Hormel Bacon Toppings enhance your meals, snack, and salads with the delicious flavor of 100% real bacon. They’re pre-cooked, diced and ready to top your favorite recipe!
I’m a big advocate of eating meals together as a family. It’s always been my goal to eat at least 4 meals a week together. It’s been relatively easy so far for us to do that. I know as the boys get older, it’ll become more difficult. It’s important, as studies have should, so I encourage you to eat family meals together… and of course, make this casserole for that meal!
Family meals eaten at home have been proven to benefit the health and wellness of children and adolescents, to fight obesity, substance abuse and to make families stronger – creating a positive impact on our communities and our nation as a whole
