Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole! An easy, naturally gluten-free, make-ahead breakfast everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork breakfast sausage
- 3/4 cup red pepper diced
- 3/4 cup onion diced
- 10 oz (2 cups) frozen hashbrowns
- 1-2 cups spinach finely chopped
- 10 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup whole milk or unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or dairy-free cheese, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion and red pepper. Break up sausage into small pieces and cook until the vegetables have softened and the sausage is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Add the sausage mixture and mix until totally combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese. At this point you can either bake the casserole or refrigerate the casserole and bake the next day.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, uncovered until the eggs are set. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
Dairy-free: Use vegan cheese (I like Violife brand) in place of the cheddar and dairy-free milk (like coconut milk) in place of the whole milk, just make sure it's unsweetened!
To Make-Ahead: Pour mixture in prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, remove the plastic wrap and bake as instructed.
To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To Freeze: I suggest baking it in a disposable aluminum pan if you want to freeze it after! Let cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw for about 24 hours (covered) in the refrigerator, remove the covering, then reheat in a 350°F oven for 25–30 minutes.
