We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at Jones Dairy Farm to bring you a scrumptious breakfast or brunch recipe perfect for the holidays with family and friends, starring one of my favorite ingredients: Sausage!!!
I really love brunch but my family prefers breakfast. I like to relax in the morning where my crew wakes up famished. Breakfast casseroles give us the best of both. I can prep breakfast the night before and toss it in the oven in the morning. I get to kick back while it is in the oven and the family gets to eat pretty soon after they wake up.
Hearty breakfasts really rock my world! This one is loaded with bacon, sausage and eggs with potatoes and veggies. It is amazing and stress-free, which is right up my alley.That is one of the many reasons I absolutely love love love make ahead breakfasts!
A hearty casserole like this makes an amazing breakfast, lunch, dinner. Not to mention it is incidentally gluten-free which makes it perfect for company!
I will let you all know that you can pick up Jones Dairy Farm products at your local retailer. The company’s products are distributed nationwide, so be sure to check out their product locator so see where you can pick some up. If you’re looking for the breakfast sausage, it’s in the freezer section!

This looks and sounds so yummy; will be trying then soon when the children visit.
ReplyDeleteI have tried a breakfast casserole it was very good I used the same ingredients excluding the potatoes (there is a diabetic in the household)
ReplyDeleteJust put this in the oven!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of trying this recipe. How did it turn out?
DeleteTried this recipe today! It was delicious but definitely took longer to cook than I expected. I think it would be helpful to cover this with foil during the first 30 min of cooking and then remove the last 5 to 10 min. Thank you for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy you enjoyed it!
DeleteI have made it "as is" and loved it. But i have also made it in mini loaf pans, some sausage, some bacon, some no meat for the vegetarians. Grab and go breakfast meals.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful, Rhonda!!! We are so happy you enjoyed it!
DeleteSounds so delicious! We only have a family of 4, thinking of halving the recipe this weekend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! Let us know how it goes!
DeleteI've made this a few times after seeing it on She's In Her Apron YouTube channel. I half the recipe and actually Fry up the hashbrown, onion and peppers. Otherwise I follow it and love it. We have it at least twice a month as our breakfast for dinner meal.
ReplyDeleteI’m excited to try this, but it’s taking forever to bake! Either bake time or temperature are way off for me. I prepared this last night and set it out for 30 minutes on the counter, and it’s cutrently been in the oven for an hour at 375 and looks like it needs another 10-15 (center eggs are still very runny). Disappointing too, bc it’s making us late for the breakfast party we’re supposed to take it to! Hopefully it will set soon so we can go!
ReplyDeleteHi this sounds delicious. Do you think I could prep this two nights before?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to slow-cooler method, how to cook it all night? Don't the eggs spoil??
ReplyDeleteThe Slow Cooker keeps the Eggs above the danger zone
Deletemade it several times now crowd pleaser for sure and family favorite
ReplyDeleteCan I make this ahead and freeze it then reheat it a few days later? Or wlild it be fine to be refrigerated 2 days ahead?
ReplyDeleteI've made this multiple times I half the recipe there is only 3 of us. We get lots of leftovers also. The only thing I do different is I fry the potatoes mix before mixing it in with the meats and cheese. Awesome recipe Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Anne!!1 We are so happy you enjoy it!!!
DeleteDo i cook the bacon before baking?
ReplyDeleteYes, first direction is to cook and chop Bacon.
DeleteI missed that Too!... I'm making it tonight ,For Christmas Breakfast!
DeleteI love this recipe! The only change I made was baking it in muffin tins. It made 24 and they were the perfect grab and go breakfast for me and 4 other people for the week!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! We are so happy to hear that!!
DeleteHow long does it cook in the muffin pans?
DeleteCan I make ahead and freeze to bake later?
ReplyDeleteTo Make Ahead: Refrigerate overnight. Allow casserole to sit on counter for about 30 minutes before baking. Hope this helps, Enjoy!
Deletedoes it really take a doz eggs? all other casseroles i have looked at only take
ReplyDelete6 or less
Can biscuits be added to make this into a comfort bake?
ReplyDeleteThis was delicious. I used shredded hash browns instead of cubed and replaced some of the sausage with bacon. It looked a bit dried out on top so next time I will cover it for the first half of cooking.
ReplyDeleteTurned out perfect. I did alter it though. I did 30 min covered, 10-15 uncovered which worked perfect. I also added 1/4C red onion in with the sausage. It was great for a late brunch with plenty left over!
ReplyDeleteThere looks like there are green and red peppers, but are not listed in the ingredients!
ReplyDeleteHi GG, It is the third ingredient listed - 1 (28 ounce) package frozen cubed hash browns with peppers and onions, thawed. Enjoy
DeleteThis looks really good, but it calls for milk. Do we have to put milk in the eggs i usually don’t but milk in egg
ReplyDeleteYou arent going to taste it. You need to add SOMETHING to the eggs. Even a little h2o if there's some kind of issue with dairy. You need something to thin the eggs a little bit. Milk helps work with eggs for things like this and French toast.
DeleteIt was delicious! I like it!
ReplyDeleteGreat dish to have when having over-night guests served with a small fruit bowl on the side.
ReplyDeleteI made it and it is really good!
ReplyDeleteExcept I didnt have any hashbrowns or bacon, so I used leftover mashed potatoes.... I will definitely try it again, the way it is supposed to be made though!
But, I have a question.... Do you think that it could be frozen after it's been cooked and cooled?
Can this be frozen after it's been cooked and cooled?
ReplyDeleteSure it can. The bacon won't be crispy once its refrigerated anyway. Just sprinkle drops of water on top of it when you reheat it to serve next time. Reheat in low temp oven & cover it. If you nuke it do the same. Or it's going to be a dry rubbery mess. You can freeze most anything. Rarely does it affect the food. Can't even think of anything right now. Just always protect the food from being freezer burned. I always use at least 2 layers of protection. Enjoy!
DeleteThis recipe was delicious and very well received! I'm not usually one to alter a recipe on the first try. I did not think there were enough peppers and onions in the store bought potatoes. I had an abundance of red pepper, green onion and mushrooms so I added an unmeasured amount and I also added another egg because of the additional veggies. I also pre browned the bacon and sausage the day before to save time, but opted not to pre assemble because of fridge space. I used my favorite Temptations 9 × 13 casserole dish, so there was no need to butter the dish. Covered with foil for first 45 minutes then removed foul until browned & bubbly. Definitely a keeper. Thank you for the recipe, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have made it also, it was nice, thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteReally good with diced green chilies too!
ReplyDeleteCan it be made in rectangular crockpoy
