Easy Breakfast Casserole

Sharing is caring!

Easy breakfast casserole is made with hash browns, sausage, bacon, eggs, and cheese!

This casserole is packed with all the breakfast goodness you can imagine. Definitely the ultimate morning breakfast to feed a hungry family

Perfect casserole for a weekend or holiday breakfast. Throw all your ingredients into a skillet and let the oven do the work.

Tips for making breakfast casserole:

• I use smoky thick-cut bacon for the casserole.
• I use a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, but any 12-inch oven-safe skillet or 9×13 baking dish will work.
• When you put the hash browns into the skillet it will look like a lot, but they will shrink down a bit after baking.
• If you don’t have a lot of bacon grease, you can drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the hashbrowns.

• Use a combo of whatever cheeses you like. I love the flavors of pepper jack and cheddar together.
• You could substitute diced ham for the bacon or sausage.
• This can be prepared the night before.
