Breakfast doesn’t always have to be pancakes. This easy sausage breakfast casserole is perfect for any breakfast gathering! Keep reading to see how I incorporated it into a baby shower!
Baby Shower Food Idea
Since the baby shower was at 10:00 AM, it was the perfect addition to our little brunch fest. We had originally planned to put ham in this casserole, but forgot in the end, but that’s okay. Sausage is way better, and I don’t even like ham 😉 So we just pretended like there was ham, and it was almost all gone by the time the shower was over.
Sausage Breakfast Casserole
This casserole is made quite often — Father’s Day, Easter, Christmas…you get the idea, basically perfect for holidays when you don’t want to get up early to cook (or any time really!) You have to make it the night before, but it’s perfect to just throw in the oven the morning you want to use it, and it’s just so darn tasty. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. The best part of it is, it is so, so easy.

Hmm I just checked, and it seems to still be here! WHat browser are you using?
Katie says
Actually I see what you are saying. So sorry! Working on this now.
Sandy says
I am making this tomorrow for my daughter’s school, they are having a breakfast for the Vets. Can I make it tonight and keep it in the fridge and bake it in the morning?
Katie says
Absolutely!
Debi says

Katie says

Young Jean says
Recipes look good but don’t see any nutritional info. I just had a transplant and unable to eat without knowing the nutritional info could you please post the nutritional info in the future? Thanks

I’m not able to find shredded hash browns in any of my local supermarkets. Would frozen, bite-sized hash browns work just as well?
Katie says
I’m sure that it would be delicious with those!
Brenna says
Looking for a freeze ahead casserole for convience, how do you think this would do if I followed instructions and froze before cooking?
Katie says
If you froze it, I would take it out the morning (or night before would be even better) and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Then you could just cook it according to the baking instructions once thawed. I believe this would freeze quite nicely.
Emma says
Made this, turned out fabo! Even the leftovers.
Katie says
So glad to hear that! It’s definitely one of our favorites 🙂
Jamie @ Love Bakes Good Cakes says
This would be great Sunday before church!
Katie says
That’s when we have it a lot!
Joann says
I was wandering if you could use just like pork sausage instead of Italian sausage? Just because that’s what I have in the freezer :). Thanks so much.
Katie says
I don’t see why not! I’m sure that would work great 🙂
Taylor says
How long should it cook if you don’t put it in the fridge for two hours? I skipped over that part, oops!
Katie says
You should still be able to let it cook for the same amount of time. 🙂
Leslie says
Do you cook the hashbrowns ahead of time or are they frozen when you spread them?
Katie says
Nope, just put them in frozen! I’ll add that to the instructions 🙂 Great question!
Michelle says
Just wondering…in step 2 is that supposed to read hash browns instead of eggs?
Katie says
It totally is! Thank you so much for pointing that out 🙂
Kat says
Are we suppose to use eggs. Cuz it didn’t mention in ingredients? Please mention pint rest when replying. Thank u
Katie says
Thank you so much for noticing that! I can’t believe I forgot the most important ingredient. Yes, there 8 eggs
