What are yummy recipe! Perfect to prepare the day before to serve overnight guests in the morning or to give to friends/neighbors to support in time of need.
Kathy
This recipe is delicious as is, but I spiced it up a little by using pepper jack cheese and just a pinch of cayenne pepper added to the egg mixture! Mmmmm! Thanks for the easiest (and one of the most delicious) breakfast casserole I’ve ever made! 😋
Kathy Barker
This recipe is delicious, I used Jennie O Hot Turkey sausage I also sauted a little sweet yellow, red, orange peppers just a little for color it was delicious my husband ask for seconds. This is a keeper
Gail Taylor
This was a quick and easy recipe for that Monday morning rush. Instead of milk I used half and half and used Jimmy Dean precooked turkey sausage to cut down on manual cooking time. Turned out great.
Lisa McGinty
Can’t wait to try it for Easter brunch, but I’d rather make it the night before. Do you think that will work since the potatoes will no longer be frozen?
Kasey Schwartz
Yes! You can definitely do that! Just leave it out on the counter while your oven heats up. It may take a little longer to cook. I’d plan an hour.
Stephanie
Yum yum! Delicious and so good. A quick and easy breakfast that’s just right. And doesn’t take a lot of time to fix. I added biscuits as a side to go along with this, really compliments the meal.
Casey
Ive made this for my family many times now. Something to definitely try is making a pot of gravy and serving it over top of the casserole. We love it. Thanks, and keep the good recipes coming.
Rhonda
I’m wondering if this can be made in muffin tin and if so, what might you suggest for timing?
Casey
Ive made it in muffin tins, timing will be closer to 25 to 30 mins. Just keep an eye on them. They will puff up so dont be alarmed.
Erin
My family absolutely loves this, I do add fresh spinach and bell peppers to the egg mix and it’s delicious.
Lisa
Do you use shredded or diced hash browns?
Kasey Schwartz
I used diced. But you can try shredded too!
Judith
Awesome!! Thanks so much!
I used onions my husband will not touch a mushroom! We enjoyed!!
Thank you!!!
Kasey Schwartz
Great! I’m glad you both liked it!
Amy Martin
If I make them in muffin tins, can the leftovers be frozen?
Cy Baber
Made this tonight for my fsmily and they just loved it. Definitely will be making this more often
Tanya H
I made this breakfast casserole for Christmas morning! The casserole was easy to make, very yummy and the left overs reheated well! Thanks for sharing:)
Kasey Schwartz
GREAT! I am happy to hear that!
Jane Maihan
can this be made the night before? Or do the hash browns have to be frozen when you make it?
Lisa McGinty
Can’t wait to try it for Easter brunch, but I’d rather make it the night before. Do you think that will work since the potatoes will no longer be frozen?
Linda
Have you tried making the casserole the night before?
Amber
Can leftovers be frozen?
Peggy
Speaking for myself, whenever I’ve tried to freeze anything with potatoes, the freezing gave a weird texture to the potatoes.
Jasmine S
Overall loved this recipe and will make again!! My first time making it required double the cook time. I know for my preference next time to use more eggs and less milk. It came out much lighter than pictured for me. Still yummy!
Leslie Mertens
I added 1/2 chopped onion, 1 chopped green pepper and substituted egg whites for 1/2 of the eggs. Probably could use a little less milk.
Overall good.
Kasey
Good additions! Glad you liked it!
Melissa F
This was a hit with my boyfriend and I. I added 7 eggs and only about 1 1/4 cup milk. I added 1/4 teapsoon dry mustard and onion powder for more flavor and diced red bell pepper. I also added half of the cheese to the mix and the rest on top. I did cook it 10 mins longer. Will be making again!
Kasey
Yum!! Sounds delicious – thank you for sharing!
