I love this gluten free breakfast casserole because it so versatile! And my guests have raved about it, especially when made with bacon. You can skip adding meat altogether or replace the gluten-free sausage with gluten-free bacon or gluten-free ham. You can also skip the onion, add bell pepper or add more cheese. I have made a single recipe in a 7″ deep dish pie pan and 1.5 times the recipe in a 9×13″ glass baking dish. Be creative with this one!
Gluten Free Breakfast Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. ground gluten-free sausage, casings removed (or couple handfuls of crumbled gluten-free bacon)
- 2 lbs. (about 4 large) peeled and shredded potatoes (or 1 package gluten-free frozen hash browns)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese (your favorite) (I used sharp cheddar)
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped finely (optional)
- sea salt and pepper to taste
Breakfast Casserole with Sausage
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Brown sausage in an a large pan or skillet (non-oiled); drain fat; allow to drain more on paper towels; set aside.
- In the same pan or a preheated pan with oil, brown potatoes along with onion, about 10 minutes.
- Spray oil or oil a 9×9″ casserole dish (I used a deep dish pie dish); fold in hashbrowns, onion, sausage, salt and pepper; sprinkle with additional sausage on the top; pour in raw eggs.
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until egg is cooked thoroughly. If you wish a browner top place under broiler until it reaches your desired color.
This makes a great brunch dish. Enjoy!
This looks fabulous! I cannot wait to try this with the family! Thanks so much for sharing all this information!! Do you really make all of these things everyday? Oh my!!!
I am so impressed!
I make this all the time as a skillet casserole. Brown the potatoes etc. Toss in the ham for a couple minutes, top with cheese till it melts. Then serve with sour cream!
Sounds yummy, especially with the sour cream. And a skillet version is perfect for summer! Thanks for sharing, Brenda!
This looks really good! Has anyone else made it with Ham instead of sausage? I am going to use ham.
Hi, I am just wondering how many servings this makes? I’m guessing 4-6? Thanks in advance!
Hi Lisa,
This recipe serves about 5, but it always depends upon what you would consider a portion size. Happy holidays to you! Carla
I’m confused. Are there eggs in this recipe? I don’t see them listed in the ingredient list but it reads “cook until eggs are done”???
Sorry about that Judy. I updated before I saw your comment, though. As I was creating the recipe I could not judge how many eggs would be needed until I added it to the casserole. Then I forgot about it. Again, please accept my apologies!
