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 recipe I go straight to. It is simple, but it just works. No other breakfast casserole I’ve tried or tasted can compare. Yesterday we made it for Father’s Day breakfast and it was a hit, as always. What do you say we get down to the nitty gritty details?
As you are chopping these, 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.
Here is a little video to show you just how easy it is to throw together!

Any idea on calories?😬
Sarah
It’s about 500 calories per slice if you follow this recipe exactly, and cut the 9×13 into 8 squares. :)
Kim
It took me a while to try this, but it was so yummy!
Debra skaggs

The title is a big order and statue to hold up to… I bet I could put one up that would beat this hands down!!! But I would never claim it to be the “WORLDS BEST”.. change the name please.
Michelle
I’m making this for a brunch this Sunday. Could I make one with sausage and the other with pre-cooked bacon?
Sarah + Jessica
I’ve never done it before but that should totally work!!! I hope you love it!!
Lauren Abbott
This casserole was a huge winner at our tailgate!! I added half a bag of hashbrowns and a little extra sausage, and it took over an hour to cook. It’s worth the wait!
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
Yummy! Those additions sound perfect! Can’t wait to try it!

Would you say this is low carb? I’m new to the whole low carb thing and I have to lose weight so my doctor said this was the best way. With me having diabetes she suggested a low-carb diet.

I am definitely not an expert on carbs, but as far as the things I eat go this is for sure low carb in comparison! Sorry I can’t be more help! Best of luck in your journey!
Tanja
Yes, it’s low carb, as long as you make sure to use the sour cream with the least amount of carbs (1g). The same thing goes for the cheese, some are 3g and others are 0g.
Sarah + Jessica
yes, absolutely! Thanks Tanja!

Kathy
no salt, pepper, seasonings needed?
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
Nope! You are welcome to add them if you like though! We just let people do that as needed :)
Jessica
Can you put everything in the casserole dish the night before and then pop in the oven in the morning?
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
Yes mam! Just make sure you keep it in the fridge! 😊
Jackie
Is the sausage in this recipe ground sausage which you pre cook?
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
Yes it is!
Kim
Hi…just came across your recipe on Pinterest and plan to try it this weekend. When you say “precooked” sausage what are you referring to…like Eckrich or Hillshire Farms smoked sausage? I was thinking of using breakfast roll pork sausage as in most breakfast casseroles I have made (though that is not precooked).
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
I just meant if it’s not pre cooked, you should cook it BEFORE you add it to the casserole! So any kind should work just fine!
Kim
Thank you!
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
You’re so welcome!
Sharon Stover
You can cook a lb. of sausage in the mircrowave . Break up sausage in microwave pan, cook 3 minutes, take out, drain grease, break up sausage some more, put back in micro for 21/2 more minutes or until cooked. Easy and I do all of my recipes that call for hamburger or sausage this way.
Sarah + Jessica
Genius!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Gr8mona
Is there a substitute for the eggs?
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
Not that I know of, so sorry!
anricca
I needed a last minute breakfast/brunch casserole. I forgot I made the commitment of actually cooking. I googled and found your recipe. My contribution to the meal was the only empty bowl with people looking for more. FANTASTIC!!
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
Ah yay!!! I’m so glad to know you loved it! Thank you for coming back to share your experience, you totally made my day!!
Nashira
OMG This was soooo goood! I halved the recipe to make myself breakfast for a week. Replaced the mushrooms with grated zucchini and added paprika and oregano. I used jerk sausage so it was a little bit spicy but…very awesome. I don’t think its gonna last the week…
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
Oh my gosh those changes sound amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing and for coming back to report!!

Just made this and it is delicious. I used a pkg of Hillshire Farms turkey kielbasa, diced, for the sausage and added a tsp of salt to the egg mixture. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Baked longer than it called for but I expected that. Probably just over an hour. I don’t think the kids would love it cause it’s really dense with veggies but I was looking for a low carb, high protein and high veggie breakfast for myself that I can heat up throughout the week and this fit the bill. Hopefully I enjoy it as much reheated!
TheCdn
Tried this on Christmas morning and we were fighting over leftovers for 2 days. Really great recipe!
Thor's Mom
I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with my future in-laws. It took me a little over an hour to bake it. What an easy & tasty go-to. Thank you for sharing!
Matt
I have cooked for over 70 minutes and still runny, was I supposed to add bread or something?
Tracy
Can this be made the night before? I would like to prepare and or cook for the hubby when he goes to deer camp . He could cook it or just warm it up before they head out in the morning.
prettyprovidence
We reheat our leftovers and eat them the next day! It’s not quite as good as right out of the oven (like most leftovers) but still really yummy!
prettyprovidence
Ps. Best wife award!
Kathryn
I am hoping to make this to bring to a party tomorrow morning. How many servings would you say it has? And has anyone ever cooked it the night before and heated it up in the morning?
prettyprovidence
The servings would depend on whether you were serving only this dish or there would be other sides as well. I usually cut it into 12 squares!
Beckster45
Could you add hashbrowns? and if so about how much would you think could be added?
prettyprovidence
Yes you can! I just add as many as will fit in my pan. Sometimes (depending on the hash brown) you will need to cook your mixture a little longer, just test to see!
Jess
Could you split this recipe up and freeze the other half for another time?
prettyprovidence
I’m not sure! I have never tried freezing it before, in sure you could find some tips online! Sometimes I do half the recipe though and just bake it in a smaller pan!
Kelli Jordan
I AM SO HAPPY I HAD TO CAPS LOCK TO TYPE LOL OMGOSH I WAS HOPING AGAINST ALL HOPE THIS HAD NO POTATO IN IT AND YOU JUST EARNED MY EVERY LOVING AND FOLLOWING RESPECT <3 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
prettyprovidence
Haha you totally just made my morning!!’ I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!!!
Katie Clark
I loveeee breakfast casseroles, and this looks amazing (esp because I love mushrooms.) Definitely pinning this for future use.
prettyprovidence
I love mushrooms too! They add so much, you’ll love it!
Kari
This looks so delicious! Thanks so much for sharing :)
prettyprovidence
Of course :)!
Kaylynn Young
YUM! You could also use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream …. mmmm… I think I need to go make breakfast. Must be hungry!
prettyprovidence
Great idea! I always have Greek yogurt on hand these days :)
Cristina Carrera
This definitely does look like the world’s best. I’ve done similar casseroles.. they’re always good.. but I’ve never added sour cream. I bet that makes it extra awesome.
prettyprovidence
It really does add so much flavor! Thanks for commenting Cristina! Made my day :)
