Breakfast Casserole – It’s not just for Breakfast! We always have it for dinner. :) And it could not be easier to make! That’s a good thing, because Breakfast Casserole is one of Kevin’s Most Requested Meals so I make it a lot. :p
Wanna make it? Here’s what you’ll need:
1 pkg crescent rolls
1 lb mild sausage, browned and drained
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat your oven to 350. Take a 9×13 pan and spray it with Pam. Roll out crescent rolls in the bottom of the pan:
Top with an even layer of browned and drained sausage:
Then pour in beaten eggs:
And top with cheese! :)
Bake at 350 for 30 mins.
If you want to have this for breakfast, you can brown your sausage the night before and keep it in the refrigerator until morning. Then all you have to do in the morning is put everything together and you have a quick and easy breakfast! :) Breakfast Casserole also microwaves up well if you have leftovers. We usually hate leftovers but this is one thing Kevin will actually eat the next day. :)

This is one of my favorites too. Try it with bread sometime. It is yummy that way too.
Hi Amanda,
I tried this tonight however I didn’t have some of the stuff so I made do.
I used pizza crust instead of the cresent rolls and I added other cheese. I also used chives and dry mustard. I loved it. Thanks for the recipe.
I have been making this for 10+ years and the whole family loves it.
I use croutons instead of cresent rolls, you have to refrigerate it (uncooked) for at least 4 hours I usually do it overnight.
Right before I bake it I open a can a cream of mushroom soup and drop spoonfulls all over the top of the casserole, and it is delicious!
Yum! Sounds delicious just the way you make it. I wouldn’t change a thing when I make it! I bet it would be great for dinner and then again the next morning too. Thanks for all the great recipes and keep em coming! ~Kim
This is easily a 5 star dish. I make this with cubed bread instead of crescent rolls and also added 1/2 tsp. dry mustard for extra flavor. Everyone raves over it. Even me. YUMMMMMMMmmm
I made this last night and all I can say is YUMMY! It was so good. My husband loved it. I think next time I’ll experiment more and put green peppers, etc in it. I didn’t make a big pan and should have. Thanks for the great recipe!
i just stumbled upon your site and i you are officially bookmarked as a fave. i have to try this tomorrow and see how my honey likes it. thanks for your wonderful ideas!
I was given this recipe from my mother in law. We Love it! However, ours bakes higher for some reason. We also add onions and green peppers.
My mom always made something like this but I must admit this looks a bit better. Must be the sausage…mmmm. Nice looking site by the way.
I’m going to try this out this weekend. I made a version of this for Christmas, but it had WAY more steps and WAY more ingredients. This sounds simple!!
I stumbled on your site and I just tried this. It is so easy and so yummy!!! It is very good for supper!
I stumbled upon your site one night and I come back all the time for more recipes! They are always a hit. I just made the breakfast casserole for the first time. My husband is from New Mexico so I added green chile and pepperjack cheese.
Thanks for sharing!
This is so great! I made it for the first time on a snow trip with my entire family, they all raved….
Thanks :O)
I just got your web sight from my daughter,Every thing looks so good. Where do I start?

I have made this 2 times now. Instead of cooking it in a 9×13″ pan; I make the mixture into muffins. I made it last time with bacon and sausage(I had bacon that was going to go bad so I fried it up and used it in here) And WoW… I should have made more than 12 muffins… They were gone in about 10 minutes! So easy!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! It was so delicious. My husband and I loved it. I knew it was good when my husband automatically started doing the dishes after her finished eating lol. I will definitely be using more of your recipes!
i made this for my little guy’s first day of preschool today…SO easy and yummy too! thank you!
The breakfast casserole is absolutely delicious! Wanted to thank you for the Wonderful recipes you have online! My husband and I stumbled across your website and check it periodically for new ones, Thanks Again!!
Made this tonight and it was super yummy! What a great breakfast and dinner! I think it’s also great for those cold nights (like we’re getting here) to have to keep our babies’ tummies full and warm. Thanks again for your recipes!
We make something similar called Farmer’s Casserole, but we don’t put the crescent rolls at the bottom. I’m gonna have to try that! Thanks!
~Melissa
This is a great recipe. My sister used tater tots instead of crescent rolls on the bottom.
We’re trying this tonight! Can’t wait. May I suggest also putting it in the breakfast category? I went to the market to get the stuff and came back to view the recipe….looked in the breakfast category and couldn’t find it. I saw you were re-doing the website and thought you took it off {hehe}
The fettucine alfredo and chicken were delish. I love your recipes!
OMG! My mom makes this casserole every holiday for breakfast:) Sometimes i was just as excited to see what the easter bunny left me as well as eating this delish breakfast casserole!! Its to die for!!:):) Love all your recipies Amanda! Your so creative in every way!!:)
Yummy! I am making this tomorrow for work!
You guys are so cute..thanks for the recipe! There are so many great ideas on this website.
I made this for dinner last night….My daughters and my husband ate the entire thing!! Thanks for the simple yet delicious recipe. I used Sage Sausage (YUM you have to try it) and instead of crescent rolls I used White Wheat Bread 4 slices crust off and flattened a bit, just put them in the bottom…It worked out perfect and saved some calories!! Oh, I also saved some calories by only sprinkling 1 cup of shredded cheddar on top…it spread thinly and worked just fine!
Thanks for the recipe. I am making this dish as i type. I added green bell peppers to mine. And yes this will be me an my wife’s dinner.
We Love Breakfast!
I started by researching things like this to make. Just simple breakfast ideas for the weekend. I came across your Breakfast Casserole and loved the idea the moment I saw it! I can’t wait to try it this weekend, it looks delicious! :) I love your website and all it has to offer! Keep the great recipes coming!
I made this dish today and it was a HIT! I added an extra egg becuase i usually use jumbo but only had large eggs. Everyone was raving about this dish and it was gone in less than an hour. It is by far the easiest and one of the best dishes i have ever made. I will probably make it again tomorrow.
I made the dish again today but substituted breakfast sausage for chorizo. Once again everyone loved it! Don’t worry I gave you all the credit!
I’ve tried lots of your recipes, and we love all of them. Your red beans and rice is a favorite.
I just took this breakfast casserole out of the oven, and it’s beautiful. Can’t wait to dive in. I added a little chopped, sauteed red onion with the sausage (because it was lonely in my fridge).
Trying your ice cream recipe next. Oh, my.
Great web site! Thanks, Amanda and Kevin!
Hi K&A!!! I stumbled upon your lovely website looking for a good breakfast casserole recipe. That search didn’t take long b/c yours popped up right away. Made this and added green peppers and red onions. D-LISH! I love your website and have it bookmarked. I’ve shared it with many friends and families. As a photographer I also enjoy your photos and as a pup mom I love looking at your sweet furbabies.
Keep up the good work and keep bringing us your yummy recipes-Thanks!
I made this casserole this morning. It was so good that after taking one bite my husband asked when we could have it again. So easy and delicious!!!
My husband and I made this recipe for the youth at church on Sunday morning. It was so easy and quick to put together but the best part is that the kids LOVED it! We’ll be making this again soon!
How many people will this breakfast casserole serve in a 9 x 13 pan?
for my family it feed about six of us about two times
i love this recipe it is so good i made it for my family and they loved it so every week we have it some time in the day
I made this last night for dinner ~ hubby loved it and we had the leftovers for breakfast today. Found your site via Tumblr post about your mini lasagna cups.
I made this today and it was a HUGE hit!! So easy and delicious!
I made this dish for my co-workers since it was my turn to bring in breakfast for the team. Usually we get donuts or bagels and I wanted to spice things up and try something new…..it was a hit!!! My inbox was flooded with emails saying how amazing it was! So thank you very much for the idea. I did change the recipe slightly, I doubled the recipe for the same size of pan so 2 rolls of croissant rolls (I also baked them for 4min to give them a little fluff), a dozen of eggs, 4 cups of cheese packed on top, and I also added bacon pieces in with the sausage. The baking time had to increase a little, but not by much 40min instead of 30min and it was ready to go. Thanks again!
Hi, I made this, except I use frozen hash browns or tater tots, because my son is allergic to wheat/gluten. Now it is gluten free :) It is a great recipe
Jenny, thanks for the suggestion. My son is autistic and his diet is very limited. I’ll be using your modifications for dinner tonight :)
Kevin & Amanda
You guys totally rock!! I have made a few different recipes on your website and they were awesome. The breakfast casserole has turned into a tradition in my family. Whenever I visit my parents or relatives I am expected to make this for the couple days that I am there for breakfast. I do not mind because it is so simple and delicious. Keep up the great additions. Look forward to coming back to website. Tracy
Amanda- We also love a variation of this recipe. A friend had given me the recipe, and her’s calls for OreIda Potatoes O’Brien (which has the peppers and onions diced up in it). We add a splash of milk to the eggs, add the cheese, and then sprinkle itwith parmesan cheese. I make it in a large springform pan. It is very thick, this way (more like a quiche) and takes about an hour to bake. We call it breakfast pizza. Thank you for sharing your variation. I recently found, and love your blog. They are family friendly, and I love the calorie counter. There are so many recipes I plan to make.
Hi. just wondering, how many hungry men does one feed? I’m going to try to make it for a super bowl draft.
Thanks,
Mary
Can this be frozen before baked?
thank you so much for this Recipe.
I am haveing family over for a Christmas breakfast and this will
taste great :-))
I made this just like the recipe says on Christmas Eve…. my family loved it, we heated up the leftovers Christmas Day. They have been begging for it all week. Went to the store last night, just put one in the oven. They will be very happy when they wake up.
Just made this tonight and it was fantastic! First recipe I’ve found on your site, but I’ll continue to look after this one! Yum!
This is a great recipe that we enjoy, espcially when we have company. It makes so much and you can do so much with it by substituting with different meats or veggies. Thank you so much I truly enjoy cooking and it looks like you guys do as well. I can’t wait to try some more of your recipes.
