    • Breakfast Stuffing Casserole

    ★ Why You’ll Love this Recipe ★

    This is the casserole of all casseroles. That's actually not even a casserole. It's STUFFING. Breakfast stuffing. It's exactly as delicious as it sounds.

    This is a great way to use leftover bags or boxes of stuffing. You can use plain stuffing cubes or seasoned.

    This recipe is really versatile as far as flavor so add your own spin on it, or just use what you have on hand.

    Breakfast + Stuffing = So easy. So good!

    Take all the things you know and love about traditional Thanksgiving stuffing then add eggs, bell peppers and sausage. Ta-da! You have yourself a tasty breakfast casserole.

    You can start with any flavor stuffing but I personally think the sage flavor goes great with sausage.

    ★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

    Make this casserole with leftover stuffing mix!

    The shelves will be full or stuffing mix after Thanksgiving. Go ahead and snag a few of those marked down boxes and make this breakfast stuffing!

    Here's everything you need:

    Breakfast Stuffing Ingredients
    • Breakfast sausage. Any flavor spicy or not. Your choice!
    • Butter. Or margarine works if you prefer.
    • Onion. Yellow or white, your choice. White onions are typically more mild.
    • Bell pepper. Choose any color. Red, yellow and orange tend to be sweeter than green.
    • Eggs. Corn-fed-hen laid eggs tend to have the best flavor.
    • Cheddar cheese. Or choose any cheese you prefer.
    • Stuffing mix. You can use plain, sage or any flavor stuffing that sounds good to you.

    Optional Toppings

    • Hollandaise sauce. Make your own or use the quick mix packets. This is optional but adds some richness and moisture.
    • Picante or hot sauce. This is a great alternative to Hollandaise sauce that's a quick and easy way to add flavor and moisture.

    ★ How to Make this Recipe ★

    This breakfast stuffing casserole comes together in a few simple steps.

    Here are the basics of what you need to do. (See below for the full recipe.)

    How to Make Breakfast Stuffing
    1. Sauté sausage, onion and pepper.
    2. Beat eggs.
    3. Combine eggs, onion, pepper, sausage and cheese with stuffing.
    4. Add to casserole dish and bake.
    5. Prepare Hollandaise sauce. (optional)
    6. Serve sliced topped with Hollandaise, picante or hot sauce.

    That's it! A super easy way to feed a family or small crowd for breakfast or lunch.

    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    Sauce optional.

    If you want to dress up this breakfast casserole you can top it with Hollandaise sauce. Get my homemade Hollandaise sauce recipe or use a packet mix.

    You can also easily add a little kick by topping your slice of this casserole with picante sauce, hot sauce or even salsa!

    How can I lighten up a breakfast casserole?

    Lighten up this dish with turkey sausage. You can opt for the typical pork breakfast sausage or give turkey sausage a try. Both are delicious. You can change up the flavor of this casserole by choosing flavor stuffing. Try sage, maple, or Italian breakfast sausage. Each on give this dish its own spin.

    Can make a breakfast casserole from leftover prepared stuffing?

    Yes! If you don't have dry cubes, but you do have leftover stuffing from Thanksgiving dinner that you want to use to make this dish, you can.
    You do not need to add the onion if using prepared stuffing. Otherwise, follow the recipe as directed. Reduce bake time as needed. Casserole is done when it's golden brown and firm (eggs are fully cooked).

    Can breakfast casserole be made ahead?

    This is an easy Christmas or holiday morning breakfast because you can prep and even bake it the night before. If you fully bake it, you can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Then microwave each slice for about 30-45 seconds before serving.
    Or prepare everything but wait until the morning to bake it. Just cover with plastic and refrigerate for the night. Then remove plastic and bake in the morning.

    How long can you store leftover breakfast casserole?

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    This can be frozen and defrosted but it is not recommended as texture will become somewhat chewy.

    What type of baking dish is best for breakfast casseroles?

    This recipe works in any sized casserole dish. I've made this in a 9x12 dish or an 8x8 dish. Bake time will be slightly longer in a square pan and casserole with be thicker.

        Hi Karen, Yes, the breakfast casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight, then baked in the morning. However the stuffing cubes will become a little more saturated and ultimately softer if made ahead. Not necessarily a bad things, just keep that in mind!

      I made this last minute for a family reunion and it was so quick and easy.
      We had ground pork/bacon breakfast sausage and no bell peppers so I substituted mushrooms and topped it with asparagus and parmesan for the last 10 minutes uncovered, then drizzled the hollandaise last minute before serving.
      It was a HIT! (And my family are Midwest country folk who like basic potluck recipes. Think tater tot casserole and macaroni salad. Much praise!)
      Today I actually have the correct ingredients, so I can’t wait to make this for lunch! Thanks!

        Hi Janet, Yes. Cover loosely with foil before baking. You want some of the moisture to vent but the foil helps keep it from drying out too much. You can remove the foil for the last few minutes of baking if you want to crisp the top some.

      Hi there. I would love to make this but should I use cooked stuffing or just straight out of the box?

      Reply

        You can use either, but straight of out the box is best.
