Ingredients for Sausage Breakfast Casserole

• Sausage – We grilled the sausage links and then cut them up and mixed them in. You could also use ground pork sausage and fry it before mixing it in.
• Hash browns – Make sure these are thawed.
• Marble jack cheese – It’s best to buy a block and shred it yourself for the ultimate melty cheese. You could also use cheddar cheese, mozzarella or even pepper jack to give it a kick.
• Yellow onion – Grab frozen diced onions and save yourself from chopping them.
• Whole Milk – A higher fat percentage will give you the creamiest casserole
• Seasoning – Simply salt and ground black pepper.
• Tin foil pan – Using a disposable casserole dish saves you clean up plus we like to use them on our grill so it doesn’t ruin our good pans.

How to Bake Sausage Breakfast Casserole in the oven

Cook sausage in skillet according to package directions. Prepare breakfast casserole according to directions. Bake in oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 60 minutes or until middle is set.

Make Ahead!

If you would like to prep this the night before to save time, you totally can. Prepare the sausage breakfast casserole in the foil pan and cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap to store it in the fridge overnight.

Just remember that since it starts in the fridge, it’s at a colder temperature so it’s probably going to take about a hour to cook on the grill or 1 hour and 15 minutes in the oven.

It will keep for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator if you make it ahead of time.

What is indirect heat?

The indirect heat method is usually used when food takes longer than 25 minutes to grill. The heat will be placed on one or both sides of the food. The burner directly under the pan of food is turned off.

Simply preheat your grill with all burners on. Then turn off the burner on the side where the food will be placed.

why is my breakfast casserole soggy?

Did you remember to allow the frozen hash browns to thaw overnight? If not, you might end up with a soggy casserole. The moisture coming out of the frozen hash browns while cooking can leave you with a soggy dish!
