Overnight Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole is a user-friendly casserole recipe that’s simple to put together and tastes amazing! It’s loaded with sausage, cheese, and bacon and is my favorite make-ahead breakfast recipe!

You’ll love this for the holidays as you can put it together the night before. Serve it with Fresh Fruit Salad and Pecan Praline French Toast Casserole for an easy breakfast!

This is a family favorite recipe and I make it for dinner, or brinner as the boys call it, a lot. Breakfast casseroles are super convenient to make for tailgating if you have an early game and, of course, for Christmas morning, weekends, or when you have overnight guests!

TIPS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

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 using Bacon Bits. instead of cooking and crumbling bacon. Although, you can totally do that if you prefer. Real bacon bits cuts down on the prep time.

I do find that prepared bacon bits are a little saltier than cooking bacon myself. With this in mind, you may want to hold off adding salt to the casserole. Each person can add it, if needed.

Any ‘day old’ bread will work for this recipe. I used old hotdog buns. As well, I ‘eyeball’ the amount and put a layer in a 7×11-inch casserole dish.

‘eat with my family‘

As I mentioned above easy meals and eating with my family are important to me. I’m a big advocate of eating meals together as a family and 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 a 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

This overnight sausage egg breakfast casserole looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I love the idea of cooking it in the slow cooker while I sleep, and the fact that it serves 6-8 people is a major bonus. I’m definitely going to give this recipe a try and let you know how it turns out. Thanks for sharing! 😋

I made this casserole for a brunch last week. It was such a huge hit that I am making it again for Christmas morning!! It is quick and easy to prepare and sooo delicious!! I made it exactly as described (yes day old hot dog buns work great) except for spices. I used garlic/ parsley power and Cajun spices rather than mustard. I will use this casserole again!!!
