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?

“This breakfast casserole has a homemade gravy that takes a bit of extra time but it is so worth it you guys!”
Am I missing something? I didn’t see the gravy in the pictures or recipe and I hate to miss the best part. 🙂
Julie Evink says
It’s the roux made with the flour that I’m referring too.

Just made this for christmas breakfast. HUGE hit.
I used the wrong size pan so my cook time
Varied greatly. I just cooked it as directed
Then check every 10 minutes till it was no longer
“Soupy” and the eggs were fluffing up. Will
Make again.i ended up cooking mine an extra 25
Minutes past directions.
Julie Evink says
So glad it worked out and you enjoyed it Jenn!
Mary says
I tried this for Easter Breakfast and sadly it was not well received. 🙁
Texture was awful and overall a bust! My family and I ended up going out to breakfast ….
Would not recommend this.
Michelle says
In your directions to said you could make it ahead, do you mean prepare ahead and bake the next day or does it have to be baked that day?
Veronica says
If you make it and bake it the day beforehand. What’s the best way to reheat for breakfast?
Thanks!
Julie Evink says
You could warm it in the oven or microwave.
