My favorite, go-to recipe for brunch! Excellent taste, filling comfort food!
Oh my good golly gosh. My 6 year old nephew is a very picky eater and he destroyed this casserole. I have not made anything from this site that wasn’t fabulous. Thank you again Lauren.
This is the best breakfast casserole I have ever had. This recipe is a keeper. I followed it to a T. Mine took 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook. I made it Christmas morning for 10 people and it got rave reviews.
This recipe was delicious. I cut the recipe in half since was just for two people and it was amazing. I added a bit more red and green pepper than it required for halving the recipe and it was just simply delicious. I will make it again and placed in my favorite recipe file.
Can I use chorizo instead of pork sausage ?
Wow! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out delicious! I was kind of nervous about making it for the first time for our Saturday service group but it turned out perfect! Everyone loved it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I will definitely make this again and again!
Can you make these egg casseroles in muffin tins for individual portions? What’s the suggested cook time?
I made this tonight for my family of seven and it was good! Satisfying all around, which is a lot to say for picky kids :-). I used just 1 lb. of pork sausage and it was still tasty. It was easier to make with the frozen hash browns, which is great to have a time saver. Thank you for another great recipe!
Made this recipe for my grandkids for a Sunday morning breakfast. They loved it!! Definitely keeping this in my arsenal for future Sunday mornings with the grandkiddos!
This is a delicious breakfast casserole! I made it for a “breakfast for dinner” potluck with friends and got compliments on it. In fact one of my friends said it had just the right amount of pepper. It is so convenient that it can be made ahead of time. I didn’t have green onion on hand, so I added some finely yellow onion and added it to the pepper mix (which was also finely diced) as it sauteed.
This recipe is a keeper!
Ive never made a breakfast casserole before, for the first time this was amazing!!! the only thing i did was sub one lb of bacon bc i only had 1 lb sausage. this will definitely stay!
This breakfast casserole is delish. The whole family loved it for before “trick or treating”.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Just made it and it looks so good! I don’t have a good hashbrown casserole recipe yet so this will be a great addition to my recipe collection
Tastes great. As simple as it is, it tastes fabulous. It feels like something I can prepare ahead of time and leave in the fridge or even freeze to pull out when I want some comfort food and don’t want to cook it. I did replace the frozen potatoes with a mix of russets and yukon golds freshly grated. Totally adding this to my “roll for dinner” list.
YUMMMM!!!!! So good and surprisingly easy to make!! 🙂 🙂
Delicious, but will the recipe still work if I exchange the sour cream with Greek yogurt and lay off the cheese a bit? My boys will inhale it, I’m sure!
Yes, that will work!
This was my first recipe from your site and it was amazing!! We are a non dairy family so the milk, sour cream and cheese were substituted with non dairy versions and it worked perfectly. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks so much!
We loved this casserole. I was looking for something different for dinner, and this was the perfect meal. I made it again, and didn’t have the right sausage, so I used lamb bratwurst. It was good that way too. We are adding it to the monthly meal rotation list.
Love this recipe! Was so easy to put together the night before a softball tournament where we would be gone most of the day and knew we wouldn’t get a filling meal the whole day. Just threw it in the morning and everyone had full tummies for a while!
Just made this for the week I was going to be having surgery and it worked out perfectly. Tasted amazing the first day, but warms up great and the family had the perfect before school breakfast while I was recovering. Definitley will be making this one again.
Delicious! So hearty and tasty and very easy to make. I had some chorizo on hand and used that in place of the sausage and it worked perfectly! The leftovers reheat beautifully as well, so it made for a few nice and easy mornings.
Delicious as always!! My favorite recipes always come from TBFS!!
Reasons I love this recipe: easy prep and can make the night before! Love the alternatives you suggest for easy swapping. I like to use the spicy jimmy dean sausage too!
I had a tried and true hash brown egg casserole recipe so I wasn’t going to try it but I’ve never made a Tastes Better From Scratch recipe my family didn’t love so I thought why not? This is now our new hash brown casserole recipe! It was so good! The sour cream adds this extra creaminess and it’s the perfect balance of meat, eggs, and potatoes. I was unable to get frozen hash browns so I subbed 2 1/2 cups of fresh grated potatoes I soaked in cold water. They worked perfect! Can’t wait to make this again!
I made this Saturday morning and it is a keeper. Next time I might put some sausage gravy on it.
Love your recipes! Would like to see more air fryer ideas …..
Love, love, love this! I made this for a family brunch and it was literally devoured in minutes. I also loved how easy it was to put together.
