Overnight Breakfast Casserole {Easy!}

This Overnight Breakfast Casserole is the easiest and best way to feed your family during the busy holidays! Or when family comes to visit. Or anytime, really.

Because this breakfast casserole comes together in a snap, it gives you the chance to be a kitchen rock star while still enjoying your family and making meaningful memories.

When I married my husband, I married into the tradition of egg and sausage casseroles on Christmas morning. His family has been making breakfast casseroles on Christmas morning since before he was born.

So when we married, he asked me to continue the tradition. And it’s super fun. We open presents, clean up the wrapping paper mess, and then all tuck into a warm breakfast casserole with orange juice and sweet rolls.

And I gotta tell you, this is the best breakfast casserole! It’s SO easy to make and it turns out so yummy every time. It can be easily assembled the night before.  Then when you wake up,  just pop it in the oven.  Set the timer for 45 minutes, walk away, and when you come back, magic has happened. You pull out a hearty, delicious breakfast that everyone loves!

This breakfast casserole is also great when you have company over.

When we have family or friends visiting from out of town, I want them to have a great visit. And this breakfast casserole is the perfect way to give everyone a nice breakfast, without all the stress and of a traditional breakfast of pancakes and eggs. (I’ve been there and done that. Nothing makes me more ornery than making 100 pancakes and then cleaning up syrup from every corner of my kitchen. So, thank you, Overnight Breakfast Casserole, for being so low-maintenance. )

The best part of this casserole is the Jimmy Dean® sausage. This sausage has such a great savory flavor that makes everything taste better. You can use it in soups, pasta dishes, and of course, casseroles.

When I was growing up, we only ate deer sausage. My dad would go hunting and bring home a deer (or three), and we would all help prepare and package it. And my mom would always grind some of it for sausage. After the deer  sausage was ground, my mom would mix in a ton of seasoning, to hide the gamey flavor and make it editable as sausage. (My dad thought it was delicious, but never trust a man’s culinary opinion when he lived in a teepee and still says they were the best years of his life. Just sayin.)

Needless to say, our family’s way of getting sausage was long, tedious, and pretty disgusting at times.

So when I found out that you could buy refrigerated sausage that tasted delicious, well, let’s just say it was life-changing.

Now I never have to go out to woods and hunt when I want sausage. I can just head to my Kroger store and buy some premium and very affordable sausage that tastes great! Thank you for that, Jimmy Dean®.

This casserole is made with all the best things in life. Eggs. Cheese. Bread. Seasoning. And of course our key ingredient, Jimmy Dean® Sausage.

When I tell you that this breakfast casserole is easy, I mean it’s truly easy.

I made a quick little video showing to show you how truly simple and easy this delicious casserole is to make.

Easy peazy, right?

Oh, and if you don’t want to refrigerate it overnight, you don’t have to! You can cook it right away if you want to. Either way is great.

You can find all the ingredients for awesome breakfast casserole at your local Kroger store. Treat your family and yourself by buying Jimmy Dean® sausage.

I hope you get a chance to make this easy and delicious Overnight Breakfast Casserole this holiday season. Don’t forget to pin and share this post on social media! That way you will always be able to find it.
