For exact measurements see the ingredient list below in the recipe card.

• Eggs
• Milk: regular milk, coconut milk, or almond milk work well
• Seasonings: dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Sweet Potato Sausage and Egg Casserole

• Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed sweet potatoes, cover, and cook about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almost tender.
• Add diced onion and red bell pepper, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 3 more minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a casserole dish.
• Cook the ground sausage in the skillet over medium-high heat until browned, crumbling it with a spoon. Transfer the sausage to the casserole dish with the vegetables.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or plant-based alternative), and dried thyme. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable mixture and stir gently to combine.
• Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until the top begins to brown and the eggs are set. Let rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.

Overnight Breakfast Casserole

To save time in the morning, prep the vegetables and cooked sausage the night before and store them in the casserole dish in the refrigerator. In the morning whisk the eggs with milk and seasonings, pour over the chilled casserole contents, and bake. This method cuts hands-on morning time significantly while delivering a hot, homemade breakfast in about 30 minutes.

Can You Freeze Sausage Casserole?

Yes. You can freeze the casserole either before or after baking. If freezing uncooked, leave out the eggs, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for about 24 hours, then add the eggs and bake as directed.

If freezing after baking, cool completely, wrap well, and freeze up to 3 months. Reheat thawed portions covered in foil at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until warmed through.
