Prepped in 5!
We have breakfast for dinner at least ONCE a week because we love breakfast that much! Breakfast casseroles are one of our go-to’s because they’re so simple and today’s recipe for potato egg casserole is one of our favorites. We first made this for a holiday breakfast years ago and have had it on repeat since. It’s filled with cheesy potatoes, eggs and sausage and is so delicious and simple (it’s prepped in 5 minutes!) As with most casseroles, this is perfect for making ahead of time for an easy morning (think holidays or busy weekends). Even so, it’s simple the morning of – just mix and bake and it’s ready in 40 minutes! Pair it with a sweet casserole like Coffee Cake or Cinnamon Bites for a complete meal.
