This easy Breakfast Casserole recipe is SO cheesy and delicious! And you only need 4 ingredients! It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. It’s so quick and easy to make. You can also prepare everything for this breakfast casserole the night before so all you have to do is bake it the next morning!
What Makes this Breakfast Casserole So Easy?
This Breakfast Casserole can certainly feed a crowd, but it is also perfect for a quiet breakfast with your husband or catching up with the girlfriends over brunch. I often make it for dinner too! Most of these ingredients can simply be opened and added to the pan.
This casserole also has the option of being prepared the night before, so all you have to do is bake it in the morning. There’s very little prep work involved and it will be in and out of the oven in 30 minutes!
Breakfast Casserole Ingredients
Breakfast casserole doesn’t take a lot of planning or tons of prep time, which is always nice! You only need four ingredients for this easy recipe:
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 1 pound mild breakfast sausage
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups shredded cheese
How to Make Breakfast Casserole (Step by Step)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Take a 9×13 pan and generously coat with nonstick cooking spray. Roll out the crescent rolls in the bottom of the pan and press seams together.
Top with an even layer of browned and drained sausage.
Then pour in six beaten eggs.
Top with shredded cheese and bake (uncovered) at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
Overnight Breakfast Casserole
If you want to save cooking time in the morning, you can brown your sausage the day before and keep it in the refrigerator until the next day. Then all you have to do in the morning is put everything together and bake.
You can also prepare everything the night before, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until ready to bake the next morning.
Tips for Making the Best Breakfast Casserole
Not only is this Breakfast Casserole incredibly easy, it can also be customized and suited to fit most dietary needs. Here are some ideas to help you make the perfect breakfast casserole:
- Add some fresh veggies to your casserole to give it some extra flavor.
- Don’t forget to drain your sausage! You don’t want all the extra grease to mix with the eggs.
- Substitute turkey sausage instead of your typical breakfast sausage.
- When the outside edges of your casserole start to become golden brown, and the egg mixture in the middle is firm when you gently nudge the pan, your casserole is ready! You can also use a thermometer to check and see if the center of your breakfast casserole has reached 165 degrees.
What to Serve with Breakfast Casserole
This breakfast casserole can be served alone, but if you are looking for something extra, or if you need to spread this casserole out over a large crowd, here are some sides to help make your meal complete:
- Easy Cinnamon Rolls
- Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Eggnog Muffins
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Pancakes
- Cinnamon Biscoff Blueberry Breakfast Cookies
And don’t forget the fresh squeezed orange juice!
Can I Make this Casserole Ahead?
If you want to save cooking time in the morning, you can brown your sausage the day before and keep it in the refrigerator until the next day. Then all you have to do in the morning is put everything together and bake.
Or, if you want to save even more time in the morning, you can prepare everything the night before, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until ready to bake the next morning. This makes it the ultimate go-to breakfast casserole for both those lazy mornings where you just don’t want to get out of bed, or busy mornings with a house full of guests!
Can I Freeze Breakfast Casserole?
This is the perfect casserole for freezing. Bake the casserole according to directions and allow it to cool completely. After it is completely cooled, you can place it in an airtight container or zip top bag. Lay it flat in your freezer for up to a month. You can also cover your baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, then at least two layers of saran wrap.
When you’re ready to reheat the casserole, take it out of the freezer and transfer to an oven safe dish if you froze it in a ziplock bag. If you froze it in the original baking dish, be sure to remove any plastic wrap. Bake the casserole in your oven for about 25 minutes at 350F, or until the center is warm. No need to thaw. This makes it easy to have on hand for the holidays, too!
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat your casserole, simply microwave it covered, or place it in your oven at 350 degrees until the center is warm. Have it around for breakfast the next day, or even breakfast for dinner!

Simple easy great recipe but the ads on this page are annoying. I understand you want advertisers but it’s excessive and annoying with pop ups every five seconds. Thank goodness this isn’t a complicated recipe. It took me five minutes to find step 3
poor rating just because the egg ratio is off. I ended up using 15 eggs instead of six, to get it to look as thick as photos.
This is so good as is but try adding a block of cream cheese. Just melt the cream cheese with the sausage after it is browned and drained and assemble and bake as directed. It adds a great creaminess!
Absolutely delicious!! I added garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and slap ya mama seasoning. Yummmmm!! Tonight I’m trying it using bacon instead of sausage. So good with a fresh fruit salad.
Found this while looking for something to do for brinner this week. This sounds really good, though it’s quite frustrating that if I try to print from your link, it’s covered in ads. I understand allowing ads to post on your page – it helps bring you revenue, etc. This is a bit extreme though.
Love the ingredients. Will receipe be dry or need to add butter?
I added 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to the eggs and blended them together. It was delicious.
Just wondering if the sausage should be pre cooked? Don’t see this in the recipe but would think it ought to be, right? I’m
Step 1 literally says “ Brown sausage in skillet, drain excess grease.”
Recipe instructs to brown sausage in a skillet first.
DELICIOUS I added ham diced up, 3-4slices of onion diced, and 6 slices bacon crumbled up turned out awesome
This is my go-to breakfast when we have company. So easy and so good even the leftovers reheat well!!!
Why do your crescent rolls looked cooked before adding the sausage? Didn’t see that in the recipe. I added sausage & eggs on top of raw dough. Hope it comes out right. It’s still in oven.
You do not need to cook/bake the raw dough. I have done this recipe over and over for Christmas breakfasts and never done anything but put the crescent rolls in the bottom of the casserole dish, add the sausage, egg mixture and sprinkle all of it with the shredded cheese. Comes out perfect every time. Other recipes use slices of bread, 6 or 8 slices and some people toast that bread but others just cube it……don’t worry, it will turn out just fine.
Hi! Just making sure I don’t need to pre-cook the crescent dough a little? Making sure everything will fully cook in the 30 minutes? ;)
Comes out perfect. Don’t precooked the dough.
Could I use pillsbury pizza crust for this recipe?
If I where to substitute hasbrowns for the crescent rolls how many cups of hasbrowns would I use?
I made a similar recipe using a 32 oz package of tater tots. My family loved it.
Just made this for brunch with the family today omg YUM! My daughter sent me this pin to try we added two more eggs, two tablespoons of milk, and used half cheddar half Colby jack cheese and it was amazing.
I have a gas oven with convection, I ended up baking mine for 4-5 extra minutes due to more eggs at 350 on convection. It was nicely brown. around the edges the crust was perfect and the eggs fluffy and baked through.
I did this too but with dried mustard, onion powder, white pepper, some parsley and a little salt. Thanks for the tips!!
This is such a great recipe as is it with added spices, etc. easy to personalize if wanted!!
After reading some comments I modified as follows: added 2 more eggs, about 1 T yellow mustard, I t each salt and pepper. Baked approximately 40 min. Will absolutely make again, but will decrease salt to 1/2 t.
Love this quick easy delicious option! Big hit with my family of 5. I added 2 extra eggs and used pepper jack cheese for added flavor.
My husband loves this casserole with a pot of grits for a quick and easy dinner! The leftovers make an excellent breakfast the next morning, as well.
I just made this for the first time this morning (well, anytime after 12N is MY morning…lol) using flour tortillas, green chile sauce (dipped the tort’s in it), sauteed the sausage in the sauce, then put cheese over the sausage (because you can never have enough cheese!), then I put the leftover sauce in the eggs (scrambled it in), then I baked it then added another layer of cheese right after I took it out the oven.
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!
This looks insanely, incredibly good. Sooo yummy!
It’s so easy and one of our favorites!
My family and I tried this tonight for dinner. It was delicious and very filling. Thank you so much for putting this recipe out there for all!
So glad you enjoyed!!
Can you freeze leftovers?
Could you add frozen hash browns to this?
I’ve never tried it!
This amazing breakfast recipe looks so great…Will try it soon
I make this but add shredded hash browns to it. My oldest son requests it every time he comes home.
A wonderful dish. Family favorite. I add diced ham, green pepper and onion to mine. I also add two extra eggs.
I don’t see when you add the hash browns?
This is our go to, hands down easiest, delicious, perfectly repeatable breakfast. Make it on Sunday and eat all week. I add cream cheese and sautéed diced bell peppers and onion to the sausage. So good!!!
This is a great recipe, but i add i pack of Philadelphia cream cheese with my sausage after i brown it this is awsome
Easy to make and everyone loves this casserole!
If I wanted to make this gluten free, could I leave out the crescent rolls and just use eggs, sausage and cheese?
Wondering if you can make it into mini muffin crescents
Easy and delicious! I make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas breakfast!?????
Hello everyone happy Labor Day
This basic recipe is very flexible. I make the dish often and many times I make completely the night before and then pop in oven the next morning. Also, I often adjust ingredients to match needs. For example, I had a larger crowd so I used almost two packages of crescent rolls and nine eggs.
Did you make it all in one pan? Or divid up into 2 pans?
Does this freeze well?
question I am making5 of these for a shower. I am making day before have you ever reheated.
Wow!! Love the simplicity of this recipe. I used 9 eggs and added a pinch of dry mustard while beating the eggs. It was a hit at breakfast with the mommies today. Thanks for sharing this recipe. You have a new follower on the blog ?
Amei uma delícia! ???
Look Look! Thank you.. I was lookin for a simple recipe with not much to use to make a diner for family. I read the other comments and tweeked your recipe for my familys liking. Less eggs,1tbsp.ketchup,hamburger,rolled the crust. And. .. Hid bacon around the edge of pie.
Thank you! My kids loved it. Easy, cheap & tasty. :-)
How long can the casserole be refrigerated for leftovers? I was thinking about making it and having it as a ‘breakfast meal prep’. Thank you!
What a great, simple recipe! Super delicious end product!
I made this for breakfast but added diced hashbrowns to it. I cooked the hashbrowns first because I wasn’t sure how well they would cook in the egg.
This was good! I used 12 eggs instead of 6 and added salt, pepper and a bit of onion powder to the eggs,
Made this for my coworkers for a Christmas breakfast. Everyone loved it! Thanks!!
I made this tonight for dinner. My 3 yr old loved it, and he’s a picky eater.
I use kielbasa sausage instead of ground sausage. I like it better that way. I’ve also considered adding a sprinkle of chopped bacon to the top. I haven’t experimented with that yet. We’ll see how it works. I also use more then 6 eggs for a fluffier end product.
Very delicious and easy to make! I added diced frozen potatoes, mushrooms and yellow peppers. I used the already cooked Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles. It took a little longer to bake with all the extras I added but I will make this again for sure!
I used bacon instead of sausage just now and I can’t wait to see how it taste
Do the Crescent rolls get done cooking it this way? I’m afraid the dough will be gooey?
I precook the crescent roll 5-6 min before adding the egg cheese mixture
This is a great variation of a similar casserole I make. However, our chickens have blessed us with a surplus of eggs so this is a great way to use some of them up! It’s in the oven now and looks soooooo yummy!! Thanks for the recipe!
This was SO yummy for Christmas morning breakfast! I can’t eat carbs so not having the potatoes like so many recipes was great. I just ate the top while the family devoured it all. Thanks for the recipe.
Making this for the first time for Christmas morning. It’s so easy to make, perfect for a morning when I’ve got a ton of other things cooking in the kitchen and don’t have time for an elaborate breakfast with lots of cleanup!
So yummy! If you don’t have croissant rolls you can just line the bottom of your pan with slices of bread and it is good!
I just made something like this tonight, only after I add the sausage, I add a layer of thawed, shredded hash brown potatoes, then add the egg and cheese. We call it Breakfast Pizza.
if there are leftovers, can they be frozen and reheated?
I’ve made this breakfast bake several times and my family loves it and it’s so easy! I’m trying the crockpot orange rolls now! Thanks for the great recipes!
…making this for food day at work. Looked so yummy and simple!! I added peppers and green onions to make it more colorful!! Looking forward to co-workers loving it!!
Meg-
Have you ever made this with bacon? I am making this for church Sunday and wanted to do one sausage, one bacon :)
Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to try it!!
So delicious!! We loved it!! Wondering if it can be frozen??
How many does this typically feed?
4-6 :)
We love this! It’s a Saturday morning breakfast staple. Any leftovers freeze well in individual servings too for quick weekday breakfasts.
We also like to add onion and bell pepper to the sausage. My hubby loves when I use some pepperjack cheese too!
I made this and my family loved it. I put it together, but didn’t get to cook it until the next day. I just put it in the refrigerator and it baked it the next day. Turned out great! My son has asked me to make it again. That’s a first since he is a picky eater!
I am cooking this right now and im using a gas oven. For some reason the eggs arnt cooking. Its now been 45 minutes in the oven and eggs are still goey. I have upped the temp and im still confident about this recipe
I make the recipe almost the same but add an extra egg or 2. We love it!
I use bread without the crust as the bottom layer, and refrigerate overnight. I also add ground mustard and chopped green chilies
Any recommendations if you don’t have that size pan? I only have casserole dishes and tried to cook it this morning. The insides aren’t cooked :-/
Hi Amanda & Kevin!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. By the way, your dogs are adorable. I, too, have a Boston Terrier (Roscoe).
:)
I’ve made this for years. I also add O’Brien Hash Browns on top of the sausage layer. If you aren’t familiar with O’Brien’s they are potatoes with red and green bell peppers and onions mixed in. You can find them in the freezer section.
Saute the hash browns in a bit of oil for about 5 minutes to thaw them.
I make this exactly the same but add 2 cups shredded hash browns, thawed. I add them before the egg mixture is poured.
I make it on Sunday and my husband and I eat it for breakfast all week long! I added hashbrowns and a couple more eggs! With maple sausage!! Yummy!!
my mom made this on christmas day for breakfast and supper
I make this but add onion, green pepper and mushrooms! SO GOOD!
Can you freeze this before baking? Looking for an easy recipe for a freezer meal club. :)
I made this for breakfast guests this morning using maple flavored sausage and it was a huge success, everybody loved it and raved about it. The best part?……it is so easy, no complicated ingredients that you can’t find in the grocery store and only takes 30 minutes to cook, just long enough to pour the mimosa’s. Super Yum.
I JUST put this in the oven. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!!!!!
Sounds yummy, I would make it without cheese, though!
This was made in my kitchen this morning for company that is visiting. BIG HIT!! Will make again soon.
Hi, this looks great and I’m definitely thinking of making it for Father’s Day tomorrow, but the recipe you have listed at the top calls for *crescent rolls* while your recipe book and bottom recipe listing calls for *croissant rolls*. I’ve checked and found that they are not the same, so which should I use?
I have made this recipe for some time with a little alteration. I cook the bottom layer of crescent for about 5 min before adding the ingredients and then after all the ingredients are added I top it off with another layer of crescent rolls. An easy way to stretch this is to add more eggs and stick with the same amount of meat.
great recipes. Sorry your family dislikes leftovers . Leftovers makes a flavorful and affordable way to eat meals with or without a large family.
I make a turkey meat loaf with potatoes added, it is delicious leftover as a cold sandwich.
Enjoyed the pictures. Thank you
What an amazing accomplishment! My casserole came out wonderful! Your website helped from all the others showing step by step and giving visuals of the steps. I’m a very visual person so it helped a lot in my favor. Thank you!
I just stumble upon this recipe and was so excited to try it! I am a vegetarian so I substituted the sausage for vegetarian crumbles. It turned out amazing! Super easy and cheap recipe for college use.
Thank goodness for websites like yours..I have made several of your recipes and all are amazing. I tried this with hills hire farms turkey kielbasa chopped up and sautéed with a little olive oil and buffalo wing sauce and only used half the cheese on top of the casserole. Just a little spin on it and came out pretty good :)
I am wondering if I can double this receipe and do two layers. Would it work?
Your recipe is perfect. Minimal effort for something totally yummy. I can see myself making your breakfast casserole regularly from now on :) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your web site. I found this recipe yesterday and made it for my wife and in-laws this weekend. I added onions and green peppers and cooked the whole thing last night and just re-heated it this morning. It was a hit!
This is great! So simple. We need something simple for Sunday mornings and this is perfect. I can get up and make it before waking the kids and it will be ready when they are. Thanks!
Hi- I’m trying to make this for 150 people for a college retreat! eek! My question is… can I cook it and freeze it overnight and reheat it in the morning? I need to make 25 casseroles and serve them for breakfast the next morning. Advice? Thanks!
Hello Christina- anytime a recipe states, “brown” & or “strain” it is referring to cooking beforehand .Most meats are cooked before baking in recipes – even casseroles. You technically can throw it all together but it will be messy & greasy . few exceptions like a homemade gravy uses fat/grease to get a more robust flavor and to cook into flour before adding stock or water. Hope this helps with this and many recipes in the future
I made this for breakfast this morning and it came out really well. I had to make a few changes because I bought 2 bags of the prepackaged sausage crumbles made by Jimmy Dean and it was three ounces over the 16 ounce meat directions, so when I poured the six eggs, it wasn’t enough to cover it all. So I added two additional eggs (a total of 8 eggs) to compensate for the extra sausage crumbles, and it worked out perfectly. Everything else, I did as instructed. Great recipe, and the kids loved it, even my four year old, and she’s an EXTREMELY picky eater!
Does this do well in the freezer? I am trying it tonight but since its only three of us, I thought about freezing half!
Hi! I found this recipe on your blog and was excited to make it! I cooked it and everything was delicious but there is one thing I had a problem with! When I poured the egg mix into the casserole, it all kind of plopped in to one place. It didn’t really “pour evenly”. Thus, we got stuck eating it with some parts egg and some parts not. It was still yummy, but clearly not the way it was intended to be! Any tips or suggestions for how to make it work for me better next time?!
I love this recipe except there are a few things i do differently. 1) add i can mushroom soup to the 6 eggs. beat well. add 1/4 c milk to egg mixture mix well. 2) 6 slices of bread cubed, instead of the pillsbury dough. 3) once everything is put together i seal and put in refrigerator over night. Bake in the morning YUMMO :)
This was a hit with my boys and husband. I used bread because I try to stay away from premade stuff like crescent rolls. Also, I ended up needing 9 or 10 eggs to totally cover all the sausage but that was fine because we normally eat two eggs a piece anyway! :) Thanks for a great recipe.
This is amazing. I made it for my hubby, who generally doesn’t like things like this. Well he loved it!! Thank you so much
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.
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!
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.
thank you so much for this Recipe.
I am haveing family over for a Christmas breakfast and this will
taste great :-))
Can this be frozen before baked?
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
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.
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
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 :)
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!
I would love to double this recipe as you did, in the same size pan. Question though, did you place both crescent roll sheets on the bottom, like one right on top of the other?
I made this today and it was a HUGE hit!! So easy and delicious!
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 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
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
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!
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!!!
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’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!
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 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!
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 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!
You guys are so cute..thanks for the recipe! There are so many great ideas on this website.
Yummy! I am making this tomorrow for work!
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!!:)
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!
This is a great recipe. My sister used tater tots instead of crescent rolls on the bottom.
Did you smash the tots ?
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
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!
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!!
i made this for my little guy’s first day of preschool today…SO easy and yummy too! thank you!
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 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!
I just got your web sight from my daughter,Every thing looks so good. Where do I start?
Lois
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 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!
I just made this for the first time this morning (well, anytime after 12N is MY morning…lol) using flour tortillas, green chile sauce (dipped the tort’s in it), sauteed the sausage in the sauce, then put cheese over the sausage (because you can never have enough cheese!), then I put the leftover sauce in the eggs (scrambled it in), then I baked it then added another layer of cheese right after I took it out the oven.
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOO! (if I must say so myself!)
I stumbled on your site and I just tried this. It is so easy and so yummy!!! It is very good for supper!
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!!
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 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.
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 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!
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
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
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!
My goodness!! The can of cream of mushroom soup was genius. I whisked it into my eggs and poured it over the sausage. Used croutons as a base and added some more eggs since I had to feed more people. Baked for an extra 10 mins since there were more eggs (40 mins total) and it came out amazing!!!
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.
This is one of my favorites too. Try it with bread sometime. It is yummy that way too.
