Eggless Breakfast Casserole?!?!


Cheesy Sausage and Hashbrown Casserole

I always looked forward to holiday breakfasts as a child.  These mostly consisted of hashbrowns, sausage or bacon (sometimes both!), eggs and biscuits.  I could eat this ‘breakfast’ meal morning, noon and night.

This particular recipe started with a search for a Father’s Day breakfast meal that didn’t have any egg (TC and sis have allergies/intolerances) but was still delicious and filling.  Everything I would normally prepare (based on what I had as a child) would not meet the allergen needs.  Pinterest to the rescue!!

I could tell my entire family was skeptical as I explained it was eggless.  So often this means bland and tasteless or funky textures.  This put all those misconceptions to rest.

It was such a hit I included it in the rotation of my frozen meals I cook on the weekend for week night dinners.  Look for a post soon on how I prepare the week’s dinners on the weekend for fast and easy homemade meals on weeknights!  As always, below is the recipe and link.  Please excuse the laundry basket in the photo below! :)


First, I started preheating the oven to 375 degrees and browned the sausage on my stovetop.


Next, I chopped up the cooked ham.  You can purchase it already diced if you like.


In a large bowl (and I mean seriously large) I combined the hashbrowns, ham, sausage, cream of potato soup, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.


Next, I spread the mixture into the casserole dishes.  My mixture made enough for 3 small casserole dishes.


Bake for one hour.  The top should be golden brown.


This dish can be served as a casserole (as I made) or in individual ramekin dishes.  Next time I think I will add green peppers and maybe some other veggies.  What would you add, if anything, to this dish?

Enjoy!
