Loaded Overnight Breakfast Casserole

Recipe Description

This Loaded Overnight Breakfast Casserole is one of my top recipes to make when we have guests staying overnight. It is simple to throw together in advance and then you just need to bake it in the oven when you want to serve it. No mess and it really is the absolute best loaded overnight breakfast casserole you have ever tasted!

To make this overnight loaded breakfast casserole, I start by frying sausage in a large skillet. Next, I whisk together a herby egg filling. Then I place bread cubes in the bottom of a baking dish and assemble the casserole by scattering sausage, bacon and cheese on top. I pour in the egg filling and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, when everyone is up, I turn on the oven and bake the casserole. Always go down a treat!

To make Loaded Overnight Breakfast Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:
