Mother’s Day Brunch Sausage Breakfast Casserole
I love the base of hash browns and eggs in this sausage breakfast casserole. You can even make it healthier by substituting turkey sausage if you prefer! I’ve even seen this made with only egg whites, egg substitute, or even low-fat cheeses!
Any make-ahead casserole that is that adaptable is a must in my book!
We chose the less fat turkey and pork Johnsonville breakfast sausages for this recipe but any flavored sausages your family enjoys will work out great.
I recommend picking a mild sausage if feeding a crowd that may or may not like extra spice. For this Mother’s Day brunch sausage breakfast casserole recipe, you can serve with extra salsa or pico de gallo to give a punch of flavor!
Quick tip for cooking sausage:
The hardest part of this recipe is simply cooking the sausages. The directions on my Johnsonville Sausages was to bake them in the oven. This is a genius idea in my opinion. A much cleaner and quicker way then messing up a skillet.
Use a piece of foil underneath and clean up is even easier. Or, if you prefer being eco-friendly, you can grab some silicone baking mats. They clean up super easilyand are reusable.
Next, you mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl before pouring into your greased casserole dish. I love my Pyrex dishes, but you can use any larger casserole or baking dish for this recipe.
You just want to make sure you spray with a non-stick cooking spray or coat with butter before pouring your mixture into the bowl. Otherwise you might have some stuck on food, and that’s no fun to clean up!
This is a thick casserole and make sure you have it sit out 30 minutes while your oven preheats. Especially if you are using a glass dish. Never put a cold dish into a hot oven. Shattering happens easily, so be careful!
Since my kids don’t like peppers or onions, I left them out of this sausage breakfast casserole recipe. Instead, I added salsa to mine and my husband used hot sauce on his. I believe there would be a much better flavor with the added vegetables.
This Mother’s Day brunch recipe for a sausage breakfast casserole is a great idea to make-ahead and have your husband or kids pop into the oven the morning of to “surprise” you with. Breakfast in bed is a lot easier when you know what they will be making!
No matter when you enjoy this dish, your whole family will love the all-in-one breakfast recipe!
After you have prepared all the brunch food, make it easy on yourself and serve up a platter of Shari’s Berries.
