Overnight Breakfast Enchiladas ~ Tortillas stuffed with Sausage, Eggs,Cheese and Bacon! This is the Perfect Overnight Breakfast Casserole Recipe!
These delicious Overnight Breakfast Enchiladas are the perfect, easy breakfast recipes that are made the night before! I’m all for overnight breakfast casseroles like my favorite Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole.
This is because I’m all about sleeping as long as possible every single morning. When I can prep breakfast the night ahead, stick it in the fridge and just pull it out and bake it the next morning it makes me want to do a happy dance. These Overnight Breakfast Enchiladas have flour tortillas loaded with sausage, bacon and cheese. Then they are covered with eggs and topped with more bacon and cheese!
A few of my other favorite make ahead breakfast casseroles are Sausage & Cheese Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole and Biscuits and Gravy Overnight Breakfast Casserole! Both of these are overnight breakfast casseroles so Mom can sleep a little bit longer. Trust me, this makes the entire family happy and they still get their breakfast made!

- Sausage
- Shredded cheddar cheese

- Eggs
- Half-and-half
- All-purpose flour
- Salt

A couple weekends ago we headed up to the cabin with my mom and dad for a relaxing weekend. The guys were going to try the ice fishing up there and us girls were just going to hang out and do a little shopping. It sounded great. We could just relax and do whatever we wanted and not have a worry.
This sounded great until the hubby came down with a bad cold a couple days before we left. He decided he was good enough to go so we still went. Saturday morning the guys headed out to the lake and us girls left to do some shopping. Throughout the morning I thought my throat was a little dry but blamed it conveniently on the cabin and hoping it was just dry in there. As the day wore on the sicker I became until that night I was shivering, exhausted and aching. Fun stuff. Off to bed I went.
The next day I felt terrible still but the aches were gone I just had a terrible sore throat. This went on for a couple days then it moved to my head. Ugh. Seriously. Could the chest cold not be enough. Nope. Everything started draining. Lovely picture I’m painting here isn’t it? It seems like so many people are sick right now. I’m so ready for spring.
It’s only the middle of January. *SIGH*
If you are looking for a breakfast to warm you up in the bitterly cold January winter here one is. It’s a bit of a fun twist on a regular old egg bake. You can switch the meat for whatever you like or have on hand. I was worried the tortillas were going to be soggy if I put the eggs in the night before but I did it anyways and it was awesome! The eggs run into the tortillas and it’s so yummy!

Julie, can’t wait to try your recipe! Will be making it for one of our Vacation Bible School volunteers breakfast during the week. You are so kind to share your yummy recipes with us. Thank you!
Julie Evink says
Let me know how it turns out!!
Pat G. says
So easy and so good. Needs a couple more eggs. I also drizzle enchilada sauce on top and add some green chilis.
Julie Evink says
That sounds so yummy!
Chelsea Tomlins says
This is a go to when I serve breakfast to the worship team at church. I mix a small can of green chilis with the sausage and cheese, and then do a drizzle of enchilada sauce on top when I pull off the foil to finish it uncovered. It’s magic how it comes together and doesn’t get soggy!
Julie Evink says
Thanks for sharing! I’m happy to hear its a go to recipe!
MJ. Gill says
Made this for two of my adult grandsons. They LOVED it. Gotta’. say, the recipe site was not very user friendly, it kept flipping back. Grrr. Will definitely make it again though.
Julie Evink says
I’m happy to hear they loved it!
Nora says
We love these. They are so simple and tasty. I often make them and wrap them individually to freeze for a quick easy breakfast.
Brooke Kill says
A perfect breakfast meal prep! I love it!
Debbie L says
I’ve made this recipe a couple of times and it was well received. I have a question can you assemble it and freeze it to be baked another day?
Julie Evink says
Yes! We recommended thawing it before baking it.
Catherine M says
Always amazing. I omit the bacon bits and always leave this overnight, sometimes two nights. BUT….if it isn’t cooking properly or doesn’t cook in the middle….take it out at least 30 minutes before baking it. It needs to come to room temp, otherwise you are heating a cold casserole and it will bake unevenly.
Jenny says
Can this be made with corn tortillas?
Julie Evink says
Yes that should be fine!
Heather says
Question! I’m making this for a group coming to town – the recipe says put the cheese & bacon bits on top, cover and bake and then uncover to finish baking… in the video it looks like bake first without it and then add them before the uncovered baking… can someone help me clarify that? Thanks!
Stacey says
I did not do the overnight set. I just prepared it and made it. I’m giving it only 4 stars because my family said the consistency was a little weird. Thinking it was because there weren’t very many eggs used but a ton of half and half. Made it have a weird texture. I would try this again and lower the half and half but increase the eggs. Otherwise it was good. I always make the recipe per the instructions the first time then tweek it for the next time.
Julie Evink says
I’m sorry your family didn’t like this recipe. It’s always devoured when I make it!
sandy says
the eggs didn’t cook and it was raw. I baked another 15 minutes to cook the eggs
