Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it into small pieces as it cooks. When done, set it aside.

In the same skillet, cook diced onions and peppers until soft. Add them to the sausage.

Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Layer half the hash browns in the baking dish. Top with half the sausage mixture and cheese.

Pour half the egg mixture over this layer. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes. The eggs should be set and the top golden brown.

Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your tasty breakfast burrito casserole!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Want to make your breakfast burrito casserole even better? Here are some handy tips:

Prep your ingredients the night before. This saves time in the morning when you’re hungry and sleepy.

Try adding different veggies like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrition. You can also mix up the cheese types for new flavors.

Make a big batch on Sunday and enjoy it all week. It’s a great way to have a quick breakfast ready to go.

To store leftovers, cover the casserole with foil or put it in airtight containers. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can freeze this dish too! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to eat frozen leftovers, thaw them in the fridge overnight. Then reheat in the oven or microwave until hot.

For best results, cut the casserole into portions before freezing. This makes it easier to grab just what you need later.
