You know what isn’t awesome? The fact that summer is coming to and end and it’s back to fall and the hustle bustle of the school year.
Did you have a good Labor Day weekend? I know we sure did. It was our last summer weekend at our cabin and I’m am thoroughly and utterly depressed that we are done with summer per say. It was our first summer with the cabin and we sure enjoyed it and used it as much as possible. I think hubby and I got the most use out of it for sure as my mom kept telling me she felt like she was visiting “my cabin” when she would come up!

In between soaking up the rays on the pontoon, playing with Miss K and reading I found time to make some food. Actually the best part of planning the weekend was coming up with what I was going to make up there. It gave me a chance to try out some recipes on a bigger crowd of people. Obviously I wasn’t going to slave over a hot stove while the lake was calling my name, so quick and easy was the main goal!
This hashbrown breakfast casserole has a homemade gravy that takes a bit of extra time but it is so worth it you guys! This is hands down the best breakfast bake I’ve ever made!
This sausage egg hash brown casserole is super easy and you can make it up the night before and then just pop it into the oven the next morning. We were usually up with Miss K first so I just put it in the oven and it was ready when every one got going that morning.
Sausage Egg Hash Brown Casserole
I love this breakfast bake because I am not a fan of the ones with bread and ham. Of course if ham is your thing then by all means substitute ham for the sausage or bacon for that matter! As far as the bread goes, I just think it gets soggy and I am not a fan of soggy anything! Maybe I just haven’t tried the right breakfast casserole yet?

Where is the gravy that was mentioned?
Julie says
You make the sausage gravy in step 2.
Sarah says
I am wondering if i could bake this in an electric fry pan as my over is out of action , if so what would the instructions be? Thanks
Julie says
You could try it, I’m not sure how long it would take to cook. Here is a crock pot recipe for a different breakfast casserole. You could swap the ham for sausage and it would be close to the same result!

Hi This looks delicious. When you prepare this the night before. Do you put everything together, wrap & put in the fridge? Then the next morning you just bake it? I wasn’t sure if you mix the egg mixture and hash browns with the. meat? HELP! Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a wonderful and blessed day. 🙂
Julie says
Yes, put the entire casserole together and put into the fridge. When you bake it the next morning, add 15 minutes of cook time to the original time.
