Hands down, this the best breakfast casserole recipe you will ever make. Filled with sausage, eggs, cheese and veggies, it is to-die-for! You will want to make breakfast 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 and generally quick to throw together.

Pro Tips:
How long will this breakfast casserole last in the fridge?
It will stay good for 5-6 days in the fridge.
Can this casserole be assembled ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, most of the time when I make this recipe I prepare it the night before, and then stick it in the fridge overnight. We pop it into the oven first thing in the morning. If the pan is be cold instead of room temperature, you may have to extend baking time for 5-10 minutes.
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.

Do you think this would work with crescent roll or puff pastry crust ?
I’m sure it would be delicious!
Have A Good Day
Did you just use mild or sharp cheddar for the cheese?
I have used both and either will work great!
I saved almost all these recipes and I’m going to make the breakfast casserole for a group (10) of our best friends that come to our house for a long weekend. I’m looking forward to tasting this! Thank you for some amazing sounding recipes. Looks like I’ve got a lot of cooking ahead of me.
You are so sweet! Thank you Beverley, and have so much fun with your friends, what a blast!
If I cook in a mini muffin pan, how long do you think it will take to cook ?
I’m sorry I’m not sure! I’ve never done it that way, I recommend just watching it and when it looks to be slightly browned on the top, it is probably done.
I did not use the mushrooms and this turned out better than I could imagine. Thank you.
Yay! We are so glad you loved it, thanks for sharing!
