An easy make ahead meal, Scrambled Egg Casserole with Sausage and Bacon is perfect for Breakfast, Brunch or Brinner (Breakfast for Dinner).
This scrambled egg casserole is a variation on my grandma’s recipe. The best thing about casseroles is they are perfect for making ahead of time. Grandma’s recipe has been a part of many Christmas breakfasts because you can make it the day before and keep in the the refrigerator. Then, Christmas morning just pop it in the oven and get back to spending time with family. It’s also great for a brunch potluck, maybe on Mother’s Day, and I like making it on brinner nights. My family has breakfast for dinner, brinner, one night every week. Any meal I can make ahead makes our busy evenings even easier.
When I started to make this post, I realized I didn’t take very many pictures. I guess because it’s so easy to make. Cook the bacon, sausage (reserve some for topping) and scrambled eggs. Then, you just mix the sausage and eggs with some sour cream (or plain Greek Yogurt) and shredded cheese. Put it in your casserole pan and top with some more cheese, bacon and reserved sausage crumbles, and you’re done. Then, you can bake it right away or put it in the refrigerator for later.
My Grandma’s recipe for scrambled egg casserole doesn’t include sausage. My family loves sausage, so I added it. That’s the wonderful thing about this recipe. It’s so easy to change and try a new variation. Just think about all your favorite breakfast scramble ingredients, and you have a new meal.
