Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe (2024)

Breakfast time is supposed to be the best meal of the day and with this sausage breakfast casserole, you will be getting the best! Full of great protein and flavor, you can’t go wrong with this casserole.

If I am being honest, I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. You get all the delicious tastes and protein and you can put it all in one dish! My husband loves this meal so much especially when I add some extra bacon to it.

You can play around with this meal. You can add extra bacon, ham, or any type of vegetables you think your kids will eat! Broccoli and peppers would taste amazing. But, I am pretty partial to how it is since it is super simple to throw together!

You can also make this up the night before and then throw it in the oven when you wake up in the morning. Talk about easy! You could even serve this sausage casserole for dinner.

You could also serve this easily with other dishes like our loaded egg bell pepper rings, overnight apple french toast recipe, or some extremely delicious cinnamon roll french bread bake.

See exactly how to make up this sausage breakfast casserole (no bread needed):

To make this breakfast casserole start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, in the skillet cook up the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Make sure that it browns up completely. Then drain the grease.

Then, unroll the crescent rolls and spread them out into the bottom of the 9×13 inch pan. Press the seams together making it into one large sheet of dough (if you find that your store sells it this way that would work too!).

Now, spread the sausage evenly over top of the dough. Then top the sausage with the shredded cheddar cheese (you can also add in other flavors of cheese here as well if you want).

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and pepper together until they are well combined.

Next, pour the egg and spices mixture over top of the cheese and sausage layer. It should just about cover the sausage.

Once the eggs and sausage layers have been completed, place the 9 x 13 inch pan in the oven and bake it for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust starts to turn a nice golden brown and the eggs are completely set up.

Do you like to play around with the recipes to suit your family?

Feel free to do that with this recipe! You can have fun with this casserole making any substitutions you want by adding ham or bacon, veggies (asparagus or mushrooms are good), and some other cheese flavors.

That looks d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s! (You have no idea how long it took me to type that - lol!)
Kratts says:

I love this! We add shredded hasbrown potatoes to ours. Yumo!
AlyceB says:

Mmm, that sounds delicious!!
PS - I just have to say that I was GFC #10600 - I like being a nice round number for people, haha!
Whitney & McKayla says:

I've added potatoes too when I was short an egg LOL. Our store has crescent roll sheets, no seams to worry about.
JulieBug says:

Ooh yum! I bet my family would adore this recipe. :)
WarPathPony says:

i make this in a cast iron skillet over an open campfire when we are horsing around! Great filling breakfast!!!!! I also add the hash browns for a little extra comfort.....food factor! Yummy for sure.
Try putting in some sage into the sausage to give it a bit more bite, blend with some garlic and BAM!!!
New take on a great base!
Cherrye says:

Can this be put together the night before? Unsure with using the crescent dough. And if so how would that affect the cooking temp/time putting it in cold from the fridge (foil perhaps?)?

My family has made a casserole similar to this for years! We make it every night before Thanksgiving day and Christmas Eve. We do 10 slices of cheap white bread, cubed in a greased pan, then top with cubed sausage patties - we leave them frozen. Then we top with cheese and the egg mixture. We cover it and put it in the fridge overnight, then in the morning mix 1 small can of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 c milk and a can of diced green chiles together and pour over the top of the pan. Bake for an hour and then devour!

globalgirlbkk says:

Can this be made in advance and baked the morning of? I need to make a breakfast casserole for a brunch but need something I can put together the night before! Looks delish
Six Sisters says:

You will be fine making it the night before and cooking it the next morning.
globalgirlbkk says:

Thanks!
Kimberlee Schory says:

Yum! I'm always leery about making casseroles like this..nothing worse than soggy crust in an egg dish but this was REALLY good and super easy. Crust cooked thru beautifully! This will be a go to recipe for sure!
Amanda says:

Anyone make it the night before and have it turn out okay? I need to make something for in the morning but won't have time to do a bunch of assembly. Also curious if you could throw asparagus in there and have it come out okay? I like a little green in my egg casserole. :-) This looks really yummy!
Cyd says:

You can totally make this the night before. Asparagus would be delicious in this breakfast casserole!
Heather Boyles says:

My family has been making this recipe for years! It's delicious! We've started adding rotel to the sausage for an extra kick. Yummy!
Stephanie says:

This recipe is now my go-to for when family comes to visit! So easy and so good! The only adjustment I had to make was it took a little longer to bake than the time said, but it was no big deal. My family loves it too, I actually started making two pans because one was always gone too fast.
Stephanie says:

I made this recipe this morning for breakfast, the only changes I made were to use 8 eggs, because we are egg fans, and instead of Oregano, I used Tastefully Simple's Herb and Spinach mix. SO GOOD!!Will definitely be making this one again!!
LeAnn says:

This looks so good, I am going to have a houseful for Thanksgiving so I'm thinking this would be great for the morning after to feed the crew.
Brad says:

I used 2 extra eggs and add chopped up bacon! #meatlovers!
Renee says:

What does the cooking time/temp change too? And will foil make it faster?
Cyd says:

Everything stays the same. But always check it as it's cooking. Oven temps vary so much.
Leslie says:

I will never make a breakfast casserole without oregano again! Much needed something something.
Becca says:

Any extra tips for making this the night before? Like waiting to pour the eggs over until the morning? We love this recipe but won’t have time to make Christmas Eve morning!
Momma Cyd says:

It's fine to make it the night before and cook the next morning.
Sarah says:

Would love tips for making this the day before - should I go ahead and bake it and then just reheat it the next day? Please give advice!
Momma Cyd says:

Assemble the casserole, stick it in the fridge overnight and then bake in the morning.
Christy says:

I love this recipe so much! I'm not a huge sausage fan, but the elements of this recipe came together beautifully. It was so yummy. Definitely a do over!
