This easy, cheesy breakfast casserole with sausage, eggs and veggies is to die for! You will want to make this delicious breakfast casserole recipe again and again!
Mmmmm, breakfast food. Literally, I could eat breakfast three meals a day. I know I’ve mentioned this, but we have breakfast for dinner at least once a week! The awesome thing about breakfast foods (aside from the deliciousness factor) is that they are so affordable.
Whenever I crave breakfast casserole, this is the one I go straight to. No other breakfast casserole recipe I’ve tried or tasted can compare. Yesterday we made it for Father’s Day breakfast and it was a hit, as always. We also like to make this for Thanksgiving breakfast or Christmas breakfast. It’s perfect when you want to feed a crowd! What do you say we get down to the nitty gritty details?

Ingredients for Breakfast Casserole
- Eggs
- Sausage (we like Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage for this casserole)
- Red and Green Peppers
- Onion
- Mushrooms (optional)
- Cheese
- Sour Cream (light)
As you are chopping these ingredients, you might think “wow, this is a lot of sausage” “wow, this is a lot of onion” or “wow, this is a lot of mushrooms.” The answer is, yes. There is a lot of STUFF in this casserole. I love that about it. It doesn’t taste “eggy” it tastes delicious. Since there are so many veggies, I like to use a food processor to chop everything! Now, back to business.
How long will this breakfast casserole last in the fridge?
It will stay good for 3-4 days in the fridge.
Can you freeze breakfast casserole?
Breakfast casserole can be frozen for up to two months after baking. Cover very tightly with plastic wrap and foil before storing your casserole in the freezer.

If you want to assemble the casserole the night before and pop it into the oven the next morning, that totally works! Just be sure to keep in the fridge overnight.

I make this delicious casserole every week,my family loves it! Thank you Natasha :)
That makes our day! Thank you so much!
Can I make this the day before, refrigerate then heat up Christmas morninb? Also can I use ham instead of sausave?
Yes, you can totally do that! This reheats like a dream. And, yes, ham works. Honestly this casserole can be customized in so many ways. It’s delicious however you do it.
I made this yesterday, and it was great! A bit of reassurance: if you cook for 45 minutes and it’s still soupy in the middle, you can keep going. I cooked it for 55 and it was still soupy so I bumped up the oven to 400 degrees and went another 5, the center was cooked and the edges were brown and it was still good.
Great holiday breakfast
Has anyone ever frozen this casserole uncooked….then thaw and bake?
This is my favorite breakfast casserole recipe. I’ve made it many times. I always use 0% fat Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. No one knows the difference and cuts fat and calories. I think Greek yogurt tastes so much like sour cream, that I even use it on my baked potatoes. This recipe’s a keeper! Thank you!
Renee you just made my whole day! Thank you for the Greek yogurt tip! We love that stuff too- can’t wait to try it in this recipe!
Oh.My.Goodness… This was awesome! Made it for Christmas breakfast (no mushrooms since I didn’t have any on hand) with some fried potatoes and there was nothing left. (What’s with the ‘all caps” thing? The caps lock isn’t set on my keyboard but that’s how it’s coming out.)
Never mind… once it posted, it was ok.
Hey Becky! I am SO GLAD you all loved the casserole! We made it Christmas morning too! P.S. I don’t know why it does that for some people? So funny! Anyway, thank you for the positive review it means so much to us!
Im Writing from ireLand. I think wHat we call saUsage is different to america? What exactly is it? I woUld love to make this at the weekend.
Thank you
Hi Karen! So sorry for the delayed response! This recipe uses ground pork sausage, sort of like ground hamburger that you would find in a roll in the meat section of the supermarket, does that help?
tHE ONLY PRE-COOKED SAUSAGE i KNOW THAT i CAN BUY IS THE PRE-COOKED PATTIES…IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN? oR DO YOU MEAN 24 OZ. RAW, AND i SHOULD COOK IT BEFORE i START?
You can buy it pre-cooked in patties or links and cut it up, or just cook your favorite kind of sausage (like Jimmy Dean or something) before starting to make this recipe! :)
Pinning this for the holidays! Looks amazing and I know my family is going to eat it up!
They will love it! Thanks so much Sabrina!
