This Overnight Egg Casserole takes just minutes to assemble and can be refrigerated and then baked in the morning. Perfect breakfast dish for holidays and guests! #AD #QuickerPickerUpper

This post has been sponsored by Bounty, but all opinions are my own. 

INGREDIENTS FOR OVERNIGHT EGG BAKE

  • sausage links
  • eggs
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • white bread
  • milk
  • shredded hash brown potatoes
  • salt and pepper

To get through the holidays stress free, I make sure to do as much as I can beforehand. That means I make and freeze cookie dough that I can just thaw and bake when the need arises, stock up on Bounty so I can enjoy every minute and not think about the mess, and prepare some easy holiday meals ahead of time that can just be thrown into the oven when needed.

One of my favorite holiday meals to prepare is this overnight egg bake. I can just prepare it the night before, refrigerate, and bake it up in morning. I love when my extended family can wake up to hot cups of coffee and a warm breakfast.

We use Bounty everyday, but I always make sure to have some extra on hand when I know I will be having holiday company. Since we will be having seven people stay with us over the holidays, I don’t want to run out of paper towels. Lets face it, even guests with the best intentions make messes. Plus, if you are anything like me, preparing holiday food always causes a mess.

OVERNIGHT EGG CASSEROLE

Cook some sausage links in the microwave according to package directions. When cooking something like sausage links, make sure to line your plate with super absorbent Bounty.

This recipe will also use sliced bread which you will cut into cubes.

As you can see, I used a lot of eggs in this recipe and I made sure to put the shells on some Bounty before I moved them to the compost bin.

I combined all the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and then transferred the mixture to an 8×8 casserole dish.

While transferring the ingredients, I accidentally spilled some of the egg mixture onto the counter. Luckily, I had Bounty on hand.

I sprayed on some cleaner and in just a few moments my counter looked sparkly clean. Bounty really comes in handy for the cleanup!

Once you have your casserole dish full, you can cover it and place it in the refrigerator overnight. This overnight egg casserole recipe can sit refrigerated until the morning. In the morning simply pop it in the oven for 40 minutes.

DO I HAVE TO MAKE THIS OVERNIGHT BREAKFAST EGG CASSEROLE THE NIGHT BEFORE?

You don’t have to prepare this a make ahead recipe. You can make it just before you stick it in the oven. It is a very versatile recipe.

One of the things I love about this breakfast casserole is that it has a little of everything. Bread, eggs, sausage, potatoes and cheese in every yummy mouthful! Easy cheesy and delicious!

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!
