Easy breakfast casserole with sausage and potatoes, eggs, onions, green peppers, and melted cheddar cheese all baked together in a casserole dish.
Breakfast casseroles are one of my favorite breakfast dishes because you can combine everything into a single dish and bake it all together. I especially like making this dish on Christmas morning because it’s great for a large crowd. I prepare it the night before and pop it in the oven the next morning.
Easy Breakfast Casserole with Sausage and Potatoes Ingredients
- Hillshire Farm Sausage or similar sausage (Smoked, Cheddar Wurst, or Kielbasa are all great choices!)
- Diced Unpeeled Potatoes

How to Make Breakfast Casserole

- Diced potatoes, onion, peppers, and slice sausage into coins.
- Cook sausage, onion, green pepper, and minced garlic over the stove on medium-high heat. Add to the casserole dish.
- Whisk together eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper, thyme, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Pour into the casserole dish and stir with sausage and vegetables.

Want to make it ahead?
Prepare all ingredients to step 3, then cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Once ready to bake, resume with baking instructions.
I do not recommend freezing this casserole due to the potatoes becoming grainy and watery during the thawing process.
How to Reheat Breakfast Casserole
I recommend reheating individual portions in the microwave.
To reheat in the oven, cover with foil to prevent browning on the top of the casserole. Reheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes.
Looking for a sweet breakfast casserole?
Now that you have a savory breakfast dish, why not combine it with a sweet breakfast dish?
French toast casserole is the perfect addition to bring in the sweet side and can also be made ahead just like my breakfast casserole.
It makes for easy preparations in the morning. I often do both when having family over to give us all a great breakfast feast.
