For the holidays, I love to have breakfasts that I can make the night before. That way when we're all busy with morning activities, I can just pop breakfast in the oven with no work required.
One of my favorite breakfast casseroles is this Egg and Potato Breakfast Casserole. We also call it Farmer's Breakfast.
Rather than using bread to create bulk, this recipe uses shredded hash browns, and we all love it! It's my go-to recipe for holiday breakfasts, brunch potlucks, and just good old-fashioned Breakfast for Dinner.
Egg and Potato Breakfast Casserole Recipe
This Egg and Potato Breakfast Casserole (with shredded hash browns) is perfect for holiday breakfasts, brunches, potluck breakfasts and more since you mix it up beforehand and just pop in the oven in the morning.
Ingredients
- 8 Eggs
- 1 package frozen Shredded Hash Browns
- 1 roll Pork Sausage (hot or mild, depending on taste)
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Milk
Instructions
- Add the pork sausage to a 9x13 pan and break up the sausage into smaller pieces.
- Add the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk and mix.
- Then add the hash browns and make sure that everything is evenly mixed in the pan.
- Bake immediately, or you can cover and store in the fridge overnight (or a couple of hours) until you are ready to eat.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

How much milk? The recipe says cup. Does that mean 1 cup? Thank you.
Corrie C says
Sorry...the 1 must have gotten deleted. It's 1 cup. I've corrected the recipe.
Grace says
Do you cook the sausage first or can everything be raw before you bake it?
Corrie C says
Everything can be raw before you bake it (which I love because it makes the recipe so easy!).
Ashley says
What temp and bake for how long?
Corrie C says
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour.
Jill says
Do you add baking time if it is made the night before? Tks!
Corrie C says
I usually just bake it the same whether it's mixed up the night before or mixed up right before baking. However, it might be closer to the 45 minutes rather than the hour for baking since the hash browns would have thawed in the fridge overnight.
Linda says
What size is the frozen hashbrown package? Thanks!
Corrie C says
I usually buy the Great Value brand, which is currently 26 oz. But, you can buy any brand that has around that much in a package (like the Target brand has 30 oz. in a package which would also be fine).
linda says
Do you thaw frozen hashbrowns first or can they go in straight from freezer?
Corrie C says
They can go straight in from the freezer.
Cheryl says
What about the grease from not cooking the sausage first and draining it? Will it be as good if I precook the sausage?
Corrie C says
I don't find that the casserole is greasy. I'm not sure what happens if you cook the sausage first, since I've never tried it.
