Pin This RecipeThis Sausage Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole is perfect for Christmas morning. It can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to pop it in the oven. Christmas morning is hectic enough without having to worry about breakfast. Pop this casserole in the oven when you get up and it will be ready after all the presents are open.
This casserole has all of my favorite breakfast foods. Frozen hash browns, sausage, eggs and cheese. I browed the hash browns prior to putting them in the casserole. I think it helped get the potatoes fully cooked and crispy. Feel free to skip that step if you wish. Also, I used hot breakfast sausage (Tennessee Pride) in this casserole. I think it adds more flavor, but feel free to use all regular breakfast sausage or half regular and half hot.

Could I make this and then freeze it? we are going camping wondering if i could make it Tuesday night freeze it then bake it Sunday morning?? If so do i have to take it out the night before or put it in frozen>> if so then how long to bake it for?
You can freeze it. I always thaw it before baking as instructed above
It will be just fine. Enjoy!
I made this for breakfast today following your recipe. It turned out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this. It is a keeper.
I cut everything in half and used a 7×9 pan. Came out super delish!
How can I go wrong with this recipe as it has everything I love. So easy to make and was so good. I think I will add green onions and serve it sour cream next time, but as is, it was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Very good. I made this for breakfast this morning only cut the recipe in half and used what i had on hand. I used a 8×8 pan, half a chub of Jimmy Dean Sausage, 1 large potato (Grated) 1 cup of extra sharp cheese, 4 eggs and 1 cup of half and half. Used the same spices but half the amount. Thanks for the recipe, hubby is happy, will make again!
although i love the thought of the potatoes and sausage in the recipe,i am trying to cut down on carbs…so i replaced the shredded potatoes with shredded summer squash! Worked out great. I also cooked this in a cupcake pan so i can grab a quick breakfast…and froze a bunch of them to have at a later date! thanks!
Awesome idea to use cupcake pan! Also great for portion control because this is so good, hard to stick with small portion when scooping out of a large casserole pan….☺
Wonder how long it can be refrigerated before baking?? It sounds so delicious!!
a day or two would be fine. You can also freeze it and just thaw it out before baking. Enjoy!
Best breakfast I`v tried in 2017. Thank you
This was a huge hit! Great recipe. I actually assembled, cooked & froze it about 3 days prior to serving. Then simply heated it in the oven! Very yummy.
My new fav! Thanks for sharing.
I wanted to make a nice family breakfast, but as many know, I am no kind of morning person. I hate mornings. The only thing I want is a cup of coffee and to be left alone. That's it. However, occasionally, I like to have a nice breakfast with the family, and especially the kids love it when this happens. So I needed something that was quick to fix, and could sit in the fridge overnight, so all I would have to do is pop it in the oven in the morning and let it bake while I have coffee in solitude. So basically I wanted the best of both worlds, and I found it in this lovely casserole. It's simple, delicious, and can be put together the night before, stored in the fridge covered until morning, take it out and let it come to room temperature, about 30 minutes, and then pop it in the oven. Mine cooked for about 50 minutes before it was completely done (probably because it was refrigerated). It came out wonderfully, and everyone loved it.
If you don't have milk, can you just add more cheese and/or eggs???? I am halfing the recipe…. Already made it as instructed, killer YUM alert !!!! thank youo so much, you make me LQQK good with this recipe .. My fam thanks you TQQ 😉 ~ Katherine
What could i changed the eggs for?We don't eat eggs.
Eggbeaters? If you don't eat eggbeaters, you might look for a different breakfast casserole. We have a ham and cheese hash brown Casserole without eggs on the blog.
I made this last night to bake early this morning so the kids would have a good meal before hitting the road. Made as directed here and, wow, 5 stars! The kitchen smelled wonderful & it got rave reviews all around. I like the chorizo and mix of pepper jack & cheddar cheeses idea and will try that next time. Also needs S&P, that's it, love it!
