This was amazing! I guide used this as a guide and really only followed the time. I used tater tots, eckrich turkey sausage, added tricolor peppers, spinach, onion and garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, 5 eggs, mexican cheese blend, and almond milk. I baked it in a glass dish for 60 minutes covered with foil and it was perfection! I will be cooking this again
I used cooked tater tots on the bottom. No milk, mixed in 4 oz of cream cheese in turkey breakfast sausage, added green peppers and only used egg whites. It turned out wonderful. I used a 9 x 13 pan with 1 3/4 cartons of eggs. Will definitely make again!
Very easy to make and a good simple breakfast casserole. I used 7 eggs, no cheese, and 1 – 8 oz package of Wellshire Fully Cooked Turkey Maple Sausage Patties (4 patties)
I tried to follow this recipe exactly except I didn’t have all the ingredients. This recipe is flexible enough to adjust to what you have on hand. For example: I just used all my egg yolks on a tiramisu recipe and the only eggs I had were the leftover 6 egg whites. I had no fresh onions but I had dry minced onions. I also had some red and green bell peppers leftover from the holiday veggie tray. These substitutions into the recipe made a perfect Christmas morning dish. I would definitely make this breakfast casserole again. Hopefully next time I’ll have the correct ingredients. Highly recommended!
A definite staple meal in my kitchen. I have made this for many different relatives who have stayed overnight. Never a complaint, nor leftovers! I have substituted with breakfast sausage; sometimes used tater tots, sometimes potato cakes; added green chile, more egg, etc. No matter the substitution or addition, it is a great dish!
I had to season it after I tasted it. I added sprinkles of salt and hot sauce. When I made it I only used just under a cup of cheese, added and extra egg, spinach, mushrooms and cut down the cooking time. I checked at 47 mins and the edges were already a dark brown (in a glass pan) so I took it out. 40 or 45 mins may do for this dish. I’d make it again but I think I’ll use the seasoned hash browns to give it a little more flavor. My family really liked it
I used 12 eggs and everything else the same. It was done in about 50 minutes. I like this as a good alternative to the breakfast casseroles made with bread.
And absolutely awesome simple quick recipe to make for any occasion… Breakfast is not just for breakfast anymore!
This is an easy recipe to throw together. The flavor was good. It seemed a little dry. Next time I will increase the eggs by one or two and perhaps add a 4 oz. can of diced green chiles.
I was looking for a healthier version of a breakfast casserole and this was a great find! I used egg beaters and 2 whole eggs, reduced fat cheddar, breakfast turkey sausage, and shredded potatoes. Next time I am going to add multicolored peppers and double the recipe. My family liked it so much there were no leftovers.
Delicious, everyone enjoyed it! I too added an extra egg, salt and pepper to taste
This was tasty, and really satisfying. I made it to take as lunch, (in a thermos) and it lasted all week covered in the refrigerator. I couldn’t find ground turkey sausage, so I bought raw links, cut off the casing, and chopped the filling. My only change would be to reduce the added salt, because my sausage was very salty.
Super easy to make! I used an extra egg like others recommended and it probably could have used two. I used mild Italian turkey sausage which was delicious. Next time I’ll probably use 3/4 of a pound of sausage instead of a full pound.
This turned out great. I made it just as it said, although I used sharp cheddar cheese. I used ready-to-go egg whites and that was so easy to do. I cooked it for 1 hr and it made the potatoes very crispy,which was great. Easy recipe and very good!
Tried this New Years morning. Followed directions wo green onions, added purple onions and green peppers, baked 50 mins. Turned out great. Will keep and repeat
I think this recipe deserves 5 stars, not usually crazy about those bkfst casserole recipes that are full of bread and mustard. Very simple and very good. Missing salt and pepper though.
We all loved this recipe! I like to scale this recipe’s ingredients to yield about 12 servings. Can you help?? Tina
Mine is in the oven as I type, although I made some alterations! I used potatoes O’Brien, Hormel Smokies instead of turkey sausage because that’s what I had on hand. I also used 8oz of Greek yogurt with just a touch of milk to give it the right consistency. Topped it with tomato slices. It smells wonderful.
Easy recipe to follow. I added an extra egg, lean turkey as well as assorted bell peppers and 2 gloves of garlic. It’s crispy around the edges after 60 min which I’m ok with. Turned out great!
yummy! Quick & easy. I left off the onions & it was a big hit at breakfast.
It was good but I put less potatoes than called for and the potatoes were still overpowering. Thanks for the recipe.
