As farmers, we love easy casseroles that feature food we raise.  This Easy Scrambled Egg & Sausage Casserole recipe with cheddar cheese is perfect for brunch, a weeknight meal, or a nice breakfast. 

The egg casserole is perfect as is, or it can be cut into pieces and served on a sandwich.  We love that it can be mixed up and baked right away, sitting overnight isn’t necessary.

Basic Scrambled Egg Casserole Recipe

This is a go-to breakfast casserole in our house, but it is also an easy casserole to eat for any meal.  There are only 6 simple ingredients, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, sausage, bread, milk, and salt.  We use a simple 9×13 pan and simply enjoy eating this!

We LOVE easy casseroles in our house!  Eggs are such an economical and filling protein that we love our flavor-filled Everything Bagel and Sausage Casserole and Ham, Egg & Cheese Casserole.  

Another variation of this casserole is the Turkey Sausage & Egg Casserole and our Bacon Breakfast Casserole and we LOVE it because…bacon!

I asked my husband to describe this casserole.  He said, “It’s like a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich without the bun.”  We had some nice little rolls, so I took my slice of casserole and made a sandwich!  The rest of the family preferred to eat theirs without bread. 

We had a little leftover casserole so I cut it into serving sized pieces, wrapped it in a paper towel and put in freezer bags in the freezer.  This will make a great breakfast in the future.

You can add more eggs if you’ve got more people or hungry people to feed.  Reduce the eggs and milk a little bit for a smaller portion.  My son likes more eggs, less milk and the longer cook time to avoid the “soggy egg” texture.

Food Comes From Farms

If we don’t currently raise these ingredients on the farm we have at some point in the past.  And we have family and friends all across the United States that raise chickens for eggs, pigs for sausage and other pork, milk for cheese and wheat for bread.  We know that when we buy these ingredients at the grocery store we are supporting farmers in the USA and that makes us proud!

Ingredients used to make egg and sausage casserole

Here are a few other classic casseroles that can be found on our farmhouse table: Twice Baked Potato Casserole, Easy Mexican Casserole and Sausage Pizza Bubble Up Casserole.

This is a classic breakfast casserole for holiday mornings served alongside our Old-Fashioned Cinnamon Rolls which can be made the day before.

Tips for Making a Quick Egg Casserole

  • Since the number of eggs can be varied the thickness of the casserole will affect baking time
  • Milk can be substituted for half milk and half cream or half and half for a richer casserole
  • To make a bacon sausage and egg casserole use half a pound of sausage and half a pound of bacon
  • Original, maple or zesty sausage can be used, find your favorite flavor and enjoy
  • Bread should be slightly dried out or toasted before cutting into cubes. We’ve prefer smaller cubes as they mix in with the other ingredients to create the best flavors in every bite
  • To freeze casserole cut into individual servings, allow to cool, wrap in a paper towel and freeze individual portions in freezer bags
  • Garnish with sliced green onions or chives

Egg & Sausage Casserole Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease 9×13 pan.
  2. Crack eggs in a mixing bowl and lightly beat with a fork or whisk. Add milk and stir.
  3. Stir together all ingredients and pour into a lightly greased pan.
  4. Bake for 30 – 45 minutes.

Ingredients Needed for Egg & Sausage Casserole

  • Eggs
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sausage
  • Slices of bread, dried
  • Milk
  • Salt (optional)
  • Pepper (optional)

How to Make an Egg and Sausage Casserole

Brown sausage in a skillet and drain fat.  I like to set cooked sausage on a plate covered in a few layers of paper towels.

Crack eggs into a mixing bowl and scramble with a fork or whisk.  Stir in milk and prep the remaining ingredients.

Once eggs are scrambled add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir well.

After stirring pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13″ baking dish.

I like to use a dish with a lid because it makes storing leftovers so much easier!

Bake in a 350°F oven for 30 – 45 minutes until the casserole is lightly brown on the edges and across the top. The casserole is done when the center is set and no longer jiggles when shaken.

This casserole is so simple and delicious it’s a regular on our family menu. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

    I wonder how it would be with bacon?

      I think substituting cooked bacon for the sausage would be excellent! Or maybe just adding bacon to make an extra meaty casserole. Great idea!

    How well does this reheat? I need to make a casserole for a bridal shower that is 1.5 hours away so I’ll need to reheat it before serving.

      We freeze this cooked casserole in individually sized pieces and then reheat in the microwave and it works well. Let me know if you reheat the entire pan how it goes. Thanks!

    This was good. But for me it didn’t make enough, I used 3 slices of bread, 5 eggs and a pound of sausage, in a 7X9 pan and it only filled it 3/4 of the way. But it was very good.

      Hey There! Great question! I haven’t tested this recipe without bread, but now I’m curious. I think it would taste more like sheet pan eggs with meat than a casserole, but I’m not sure? Please let me know if you give it a try!

      Sautéing it first with the sausage would add a nice flavor if you like onions!
