I am a big fan of overnight breakfast and brunch casseroles.  I just love the convenience of putting together a delicious casserole the night before ... followed by the ease of serving up a piping hot breakfast the next morning by simply popping an-already-prepared dish in the oven.

What could be better?

Well, how about making an overnight casserole with ingredients that already give us a head start on the prep?

Whip up this tasty prepare-ahead casserole and serve up a hearty breakfast or brunch your family will love ~ all with a low-maintenance morning for you.

Because that's the case with this hearty Overnight Sausage, Egg & Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole.  Taking advantage of packaged pre-shredded hash browns makes preparation of this tasty casserole super easy.

And while I fry up my own sausage and shred my own cheese, you could certainly skip these steps, too, and take advantage of prepared sausage crumbles and packaged shredded cheese.

Which is all great, because I don't know about you, but in the morning? ...

I'll take all the help I can get.  {Yeh, morning is definitely not my strong point.}

To prepare this make-your-morning-easy Overnight Sausage, Egg & Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole, grab some bread and cut it into cubes.  Grab some eggs.  And grab some cheddar cheese and shred it up.

Once the casserole is baked, the bread cubes bake up super light, giving the finished casserole a fabulous texture.

Then brown a pound of sausage in a skillet ... and add the prepared hash browns.  Cook the hash browns for just a few minutes.

Prepared hash browns can be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.  In my local stores, some varieties are near the meats, and some are in the dairy/eggs section.

Next, combine the sausage/hash brown mixture with eggs, milk, spices, the shredded cheese, and the cubed bread.  Mix it all up until its well combined.

The cubed bread soaks up some of the egg and milk as the mixture rests overnight.

And once the casserole is baked, the bread cubes bake up super light, giving the finished casserole a fabulous texture.

It's nice and fluffy and light.  And sooooo good.

Once everything's mixed together and friendly, pour the mixture into a greased baking pan, cover, and stick it in the fridge.

And when you get up in the morning and want to serve your family a deliciously hot-and-tasty breakfast or brunch? ...

Bask in the glory that your prep is all done!

How easy and convenient is that for a morning?

In the morning time, pop the casserole in the oven and bake it up ...

... and there you have it!

Hot and tasty, hearty Overnight Sausage, Egg & Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole your family will love.  And ~ bonus ~  a low-maintenance morning for you.

Enjoy!
