As farmers, we love easy casseroles that feature food we raise. This Easy Egg & Sausage Casserole is perfect for brunch, a weeknight meal, or a nice breakfast. The casserole is perfect as is, or it can be cut into pieces and served on a sandwich. #easycasserole #eggcasserole

Basic Egg Casserole
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 Bacon Breakfast Casserole and we LOVE it because…bacon!
Sure 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, eggs, cheddar cheese, sausage, bread, milk, and salt. We use a simple 9×13 pan and simply enjoy eating this!
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 so I cut it into serving sized pieces, wrapped 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!
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.

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!
