Breakfast, brunch or breakfast for supper, this Cheesy Sausage Egg Hashbrown Casserole is prepared in minutes and is a delicious way to start your day. Or end it.

Do you ever have breakfast for dinner? We do often. We enjoy breakfast dishes but rarely have time to enjoy them at breakfast!

So when I get the chance to make a breakfast casserole like this cheesy sausage egg hashbrown casserole for supper, I jump at the chance.

Breakfast for supper

I used to think breakfast for supper was faster than making a regular supper, but I don’t believe it is. We often make pancakes (blueberry is a favorite) or applesauce puffs. That, of course, requires baking dishes. However, we all enjoy eating breakfast foods and to have the time to make this casserole (let alone eat it) makes the family happy.

My time saving tips for breakfast at supper:

If you can, make the muffins, breakfast casseroles or even pancakes ahead of time. You can reheat the pancakes and just pop the casserole in the oven.

Make sure you have nothing going on that night. Enjoy the family time so you aren’t rushed like you are at breakfast.

Making Cheesy Sausage Egg Hashbrown Casserole

The most time consuming part of making this casserole (besides the baking) is cooking the sausage.

I personally believe sausage takes longer to cook than hamburger does, though I am not sure why. Maybe it is my imagination. You can always cook up a large batch of sausage then put it in the freezer and use as needed. Such a time saver!

Cook up the sausage until it is no longer pink.

After cooking, layer in a greased 9×13 baking dish in this order: hashbrowns, eggs, sausage and cheese. You will also pour a little milk (we use almond milk) in the pan.

Bake for 45 minutes or until done.

This breakfast casserole is really that easy! You can certainly add green peppers or green onions to the layering process (about 1/2 cup). That would add a little punch to the flavor.

I certainly add salt and pepper to ours.

I also used a cheddar cheese but they have a new cheese with a bacon flavor called Smoky Bacon Cheddar. It wasn’t used on this casserole, but I have used it in the past and it is delicious!
