Food is my friend for sure! You like cheese? YUP! Potatoes? ABSOLUTELY! But there’s one thing better than both those and that’s BREAKFAST! You can’t tell me having a good, healthy(ish), hearty breakfast doesn’t just make you feel complete like you can tackle anything for the day. Combine it all together and you have the best breakfast ever, Cheesy Potato Breakfast Casserole…Plus it’s kid friendly!

The combination of some of the most popular breakfast ingredients makes this cheesy potato breakfast casserole one of a kind. There are several dishes that it may look like, but the taste is truly unique! It warms you from the inside out and you will be back for more.

I grew up eating breakfast casserole and it was always something made on MOST holiday mornings. We made ours a little differently though. So, here is my spin on a little childhood memory. I hope you have fun making memories of your own in the kitchen and enjoy this delicious recipe!

Before you begin your cheesy potato breakfast casserole journey, my biggest tip will be to make this a day ahead. It is ALWAYS better the next day!


Start by prepping your ingredients! Preparation will always make your time in the kitchen faster

Brown your meat. If you want to add some alternatives listed in the recipe, now would be the time!

There’s my handy tool again

Dress those eggs up!

Prep your potatoes and give ’em a little flavor

Let’s Layer!

Bake it off, brown it up!

Serve and devour…you won’t have leftovers, I promise!


Recipe Substitutions/Add ons

  • add onions into ground sausage and cook
  • add peppers and onions into ground sausage and cook to make more southwest
  • use tater tots instead of diced potatoes
  • use sliced bread instead of potatoes
  • add 2-3 extra eggs for a richer casserole
  • make vegetarian by replacing sausage with spinach, mushrooms, onions and diced tomato

      Yes! That would be so delicious! If you look at my previous blog about the burrito bowls I talk about a meat substitute. In that blog I added in Turkey meat, but you can always leave it out! That method would work great!
