Cheesy Potato Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Cheesy Potato Sausage Breakfast Casserole is an easy breakfast or brunch recipe you can throw together on a weekend that the whole family will love!
I hope you are having a great holiday week! We had a wonderful first Christmas as a family of three and wish I could do it all over again. The special time with friends and family was priceless and the food was just as enjoyable. We loved this Cheesy Potato Sausage Breakfast Casserole and know you will, also!
Mr. Wishes loves his breakfast food and really the only time we get around to eating breakfast together is on his days off from work. He LOVES this Overnight Breakfast Egg Casserole. Casseroles are just the easiest way to get all of his favorite breakfast foods knocked out in one dish.
Of course, the most important part of breakfast is the MEAT. A lot of breakfast dishes involve bacon but we are all about the sausage over here!
Johnsonville makes throwing a delicious breakfast together super easy with their fully-cooked breakfast sausage. Hey, wherever I can save myself some time (especially around the holidays) I am all about that! Their fully-cooked sausage links and patties are not only a time saver for those busy mornings, but also pack some flavorful protein into your breakfast.
Any recipe that calls for bacon is, in my opinion, even better when swapping it out for sausage. For this recipe, I cut up the already-cooked sausage and tossed it into this egg, potato, and cheese casserole to make it more of a hearty breakfast. So much flavor packed into such a simple dish!
You can put your fully-cooked Johnsonville sausage in a skillet just to warm it up or in the microwave and eat it plain with some eggs and toast or incorporate it into a breakfast dish like I did with this Cheesy Potato Sausage Casserole.
If you are into breakfast casseroles, definitely check out my Buttermilk Biscuit and Egg Breakfast Cobbler. This Cheesy Potato Sausage Casserole and that breakfast cobbler both go great alongside my old-fashioned peanut butter pancakes.
You should also try my Grilled Beer Brats I made with Johnsonville’s Original Brats or my Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Scramble I made last year with their fresh pork breakfast sausage links. Breakfast food is my jam! Also, do you remember the mini french toast roll-ups I made with their sausage last year? I’m also loving this Tator Tots Breakfast Casserole.
Enjoy and Happy 2019 a few days early!

This looks and sounds delicious!
All of this cheesy, meaty, “breakfast” goodness is making me hungry.
My hubby is obsessed with breakfast food, but we rarely get to enjoy a nice breakfast meal together (except for perhaps on vacations). I usually prepare a hot breakfast meal for us to enjoy as a family a couple of times around the holidays, his birthday or other special occasions. This looks like it would be right up hid alley, so I might have to try this for New Year’s Day morning!
Thanks for sharing!
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Actually brunch is my favorite. Love a hearty breakfast
I love breakfast casseroles as they are so easy to make. I agree that a hearty breakfast sets you up right for the day!
We generally eat light for breakfast but this casserole looks like a great way to start the day. Any family that loves a good sausage will love Johnsonville and this dish.
This looks so delicious and hearty. It would be perfect for those mornings we have swim meets and the kids need to fuel up before leaving.
One of our favorite breakfast dishes is a casserole. Easy to make and even easier to enjoy!
Now that is my kind of casserole. If it’s cheesy, even the grandkids will eat it. I love fixing breakfast for dinner when they come over because it’s one of their favorite meals. We are all going to love this.
Such a delicious meal…the perfect breakfast to start the day. Thank you for the recipe. I’m going to make this soon.
Yum I need to make these! It looks and sounds so good I would love it. So would my family. Yum!
I made this when the boys were over for the holidays! They each took some home for breakfast the next day! Such a wonderful recipe!

A new favorite breakfast at our house!
I live for this kind of breakfast!!

There is nothing I love more than a cheesy casserole.
