Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole with Sausage

Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole is the perfect breakfast recipe. It’s made with hash browns, sausage, egg and cheese… and it’s 100% gluten free!

Growing up (and still to this day actually) my step mom always made breakfast casserole on Christmas morning. Its Paula Dean’s recipe but with crescent roll dough instead of bread. OH BABY it is so buttery and delicious!

Like any other tradition, I look forward to breakfast casserole every year. This year is a little different, though. We are hosting family with certain dietary restrictions so I had to make a few adjustments to the old reliable breakfast casserole recipe. 86 the crescents and add potatoes;)

It’s not surprising that the recipe is still yummy with potatoes but I am caught a little off-guard with how much I liked it. Potatoes are perfectly tender and sausage adds the perfect amount of heat. Pretty sure this may be the new norm on Christmas morning.

Here’s what you need for this hashbrown breakfast casserole:

  • Shredded hash browns – you can find these in the refrigerated section by the eggs
  • Pork breakfast sausage – I use Jimmy Dean “Hot” but you can also use regular or maple flavored
  • Freshly grated sharp cheddar – You can also use a bag of pre-shredded cheese
  • 8 large eggs
  • Milk – I recommend using 2% or full fat dairy milk
  • Salt, pepper and ground mustard

I make this recipe in a 2.5 quart baking dish because it comes out thicker than using a 9×13. You can certainly use a larger dish, just watch the baking time because it will cook faster.

Hosting brunch? Make this recipe and my Blueberry French Toast Casserole for the perfect sweet & savory spread! You’ll surely have something that everyone can enjoy.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

    Can you put this together and bake the next day?

      Yes. I recommend putting everything together except the eggs. Later the hash browns, sausage and cheese – then cover and put in the fridge. Next morning, whisk up the milk and eggs and pour over top. Hope you like it!

    Do you have to cook the hash browns before putting into the pan or can you just add them straight from the fridge?

      I recommend browning the hashbrowns prior to assembling the casserole to avoid raw potatoes.
