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 a smoky thick cut bacon for the casserole.
- I use a cast iron skillet, but any oven safe skillet or 9×13 baking dish will work.
- When you put the hash browns into the skillet it will look like a a lot, but they will shrink down a bit after baking.
- 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 made the night before but the hash browns wont be crispy, but still delicious.
