I am a lover of breakfast casseroles. I admit it. Every time I go to a meeting or potluck, I bring one of these 20 Make Ahead Breakfasts. I love how you can start with a few basic ingredients and just swap items in and out to come up with a whole new dish. This Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole is a family favorite and will feed a crowd.

Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole - a delicious breakfast casserole that can be made the night before or in the morning. Hearty, filling and cheesy breakfast idea!


Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

This cheesy hash brown casserole is made in a 9 x 13 baking dish. I often use this baking dish for making my casseroles. It is very versatile and you can use it for a variety of meals.

 

Before you start to assemble the ingredients, preheat your oven to 375 degrees, if you plan to make the casserole right away.

 You will start the casserole with a layer of hash browns.
Hash Browns, Frozen Meals
Cover the hash browns with half of the crumbled sausage and half of the shredded cheese.
Mix the eggs and milk and pour the entire mixture evenly over the sausage, cheese and hash browns. Then, add the remainder of the crumbled sausage to the top of the eggs.
Cover with the remainder of the cheese. Add some salt and pepper. I found that the cheese and sausage provided the saltiness for this dish, so I just used a few sprinkles of salt.
At this point you can cover the casserole and refrigerate it overnight, if you plan to eat it in the morning. If you are cooking it right away or refrigerating overnight, when it is ready to bake, pop it in the oven for 40 minutes. Ours was cooked at the 37 minute mark, but oven cook times vary. When it is done, the top will be slightly browned and the inside will feel firm when you poke it with a fork.

Eat at Home Meal Plans

Have you heard about Eat At Home Meal Plans? If the cost of eating out or the decision of what to make for dinner each night is stressing you out, then you must try these. When you sign up, you get access to four separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don’t worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

That’s it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

We all have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
