This was delicious and a huge hit Sunday in my Sunday School class. Not a bite left!
This was delicious and a huge hit on Sunday morning in my Sunday School class!
Made this for the first time this morning for my parents that came in town. Everyone loved it! My husband declared it to be his favorite breakfast casserole I’ve ever made 2 bites in 😆👍🏼
I made this tonight. I had to cook it 10 minutes longer because the eggs were still runny. Next time I think I will add bell peppers. For just two of us we halved the recipe. We enjoyed it very much!!!
Is there something that You can substitute the eggs with my wife cannot eat eggs with out getting sick and every dang breakfast recipe is full of eggs
They make a vegan egg substitute that might be a great option
Sean. I have the same issue as your wife. There is a product called …… Just Egg. It comes in a liquid form and a precooked form. The liquid works well as a scramble. While it doesn’t taste exactly like an egg, it does the trick.
Please give directions for freezing. I'm making for a new Mom.
assemble the casserole and cover it with foil and freeze it – don't bake it. Have the new Mom thaw and bake as directed above.
How long does this take to defrost in the fridge before baking it?
If I would do this in a crockpot, how long do you think it would take on high?
I'm with Aunt Marie and M&L Stewart…. I'm making this for a family vacation in 2 weeks. Do I cook it now & freeze it? Or, wrap in foil and cook it on vacation?
Absolutely love the recipe. I have a question tho, I am making 3 casseroles for a family gathering Sunday morning. Would it be ok to make them on a Friday night with out having to freeze them?
I followed to recipe to the letter but it is till quite runny! I will need to bake for much longer!
I made the mistake of putting a tray under mine, and the bottom didn't cook. I remedied that by frying in a pan, but next time I know better. Taste is delicious … this is a Sunday Brunch keeper, for sure.
Curious to know the answers to Aunt Marie's questions as well…what is the best way to freeze this for later?
Have you ever made ahead and frozen it? Do you also add egg mixture before freezing and does it have to thawed before baking?
I cooked then froze. Was great. Good for quick meals. Leftovers. Or when gifting meals.
This is my go-to breakfast casserole for Christmas morning (and any other time I’m craving it)! I always substitute 1 cup of milk with a can of Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese Soup. It makes it so tangy and sticks together better! Love it!
Can you cook this in The crockpot??
Very yummy but I think next time I cut down on the garlic and onion powder as too overpowering-served mine with salsa and I loved it thanks for the recipe! I like that you could use bacon or ham as well! A keeper!
Do you bake this covered or uncovered?
I baked it uncovered
My boyfriend and I have tried this twice now. The second time we used 10 eggs and 1 cup of milk because the cooking time was longer than expected the first time we followed the recipe by the book. We also layer it the second time around. It's cooking in the oven now and smells delicious!
how was it adding the eggs? I want to make a breakfast casserole with sausage and eggs.
do you thaw or cook the tots at all before they go into the mix? cant imaging throwing in frozen tots and having it all cook correctly..
I used frozen tater tots. I didn't thaw them, but you certainly can thaw them if you prefer. Enjoy!
2 cups of milk? that just doesnt seem correct at all, im sorry but the video shows it tb very soupy at the bottom?
Patti – the ingredients listed are correct with correct amounts. You can change anything you wish, but I can't say that it would turn out.
Had to cook it longer than stated and was runny, but it had great taste. Will cut down on milk and increase eggs next time.
I cooked per instructions and it came out fully cooked. Second time I halved the sausage and added bacon(cooked before hand) , onion, and mushrooms. Still no issue with cooking through. I cooked for an hour then sprinkled more shredded cheese on top and cooked ten more minutes.
Made this a few nights ago.hubby loves it. I use tater tot crowns, store was out of regular tater tots. Will add mushrooms next time,super easy recipe. Thank you
Cooking it right now for a crew of teens…
perfect! Hope they enjoy it!
I make something similar only to the milk and eggs I add one can of Campbell's cheddar cheese soup. I get asked to bring it to every potluck. I also add in some peppers and one jalapeño
Several of my favorite items in one dish – looks delicious
