  1. Kat Jett says:

    I make a variation of this recipe, but I add Tennessee Pride Hot sausage (I pre cook it) and mince a small onion-Its requested all this time for morning company. love it!

  2. Amber says:

    Yummy and EASY! Love it!

  3. tricia says:

    freezable?

  4. Camille says:

    Sure!

  5. Laura Lewis says:

    Can this be made the night before?

  6. Six Sisters says:

    Yes! Then you just wake up and pop it in the oven!

  7. Jenny S. says:

    This looks yum! Do the hash-browns need to be thawed?

  8. Cyd says:

    Thaw them just slightly and that will help with mixing!

  9. Susan says:

    I would like to make this for about 30 people. I will be using large industrial size baking pans. What temp should I use and can this recipe be tripled? Please help. This will be served at a church breakfast honoring teachers for the upcoming school year. Thanks for your help

  10. Cyd says:

    Hi Susan. This recipe can be tripled. But we have never made it in an industrial sized baking pan/dish. We made it in a 9 x 13, so you would need to be sure your baking pan is as deep as the 9 x 13. Having the pan that big, you may need to add a little more cooking time. Be sure it's cooked all the way through and not jiggly in the middle. You could always make 3 9x13 pans of this! It can be prepared the night before and then cooked in the morning.

  11. Ana says:

    Hello :) Can I cook this in a 8X8 pan and if so what do I put the temperature too?

  12. Cyd says:

    This would be too much for an 8 x 8 pan. You could cut the recipe in half. Cook for about the same time. Watch it closely because it may not take as long to cook.

  13. Ruth says:

    Hi! This recipe looks really good and I'm going to make it today but I had a question about the sausage. Do I took it before I put it into the oven? Thank you!

  14. Cyd says:

    Yes, cook the sausage first.

  15. diane says:

    We want to make 4 pans ahead and freeze it, will it be good if frozen before it is baked? Or would it be best baked first?

  16. Cyd says:

    You should be able to assemble the recipe and place in a freezer container. Thaw in the fridge and then bake as directed.

  17. Alesha says:

    Can I brown the hashbrowns first (so they can be a little crispy) and then mix in with other ingredients?I know the hash-browns would need to be cool off before I mix with other ingredients.

  18. Cyd says:

    I love crispy hashbrowns! You can brown them first if you like them brown and a little crispy!

  19. LW says:

    Making this recipe for a huge family event tomorrow. Need clarification, do need 12 or 24 eggs? 1 cup or 2 of milk? I know it says 12 eggs and 1 cup two places..is that a typo? Help please!! thanks!

  20. Cyd says:

    We are sorry we didn't see this over the weekend. Thanks for catching that typo. Hopefully you figured it out. The recipe has been corrected now.

  21. Mayela says:

    Can I use homemade hashbrowns? If so, how should that work, do I cook them first? Thank you

  22. Laurie says:

    Can I assemble it all the afternoon before the morning of? I work evenings so I am hoping to do all the prep work and assembly before I go into work.

  23. Cyd says:

    Frozen hashbrowns you buy at the store are just partially cooked (blanched). So you may want to partially cook your homemade hashbrowns or add extra cooking time to the recipe, but be sure the other ingredients don't overcook.

  24. Brittany says:

    Could I cook this the night before and then warm it in the oven the next morning? Trying to make for a large crowd after a baptism.

  25. Cyd says:

    We have made this the night before. Have a wonderful baptism day! :)

  26. Emily says:

    This was delicious! I added the vegetables raw into the egg mixture - omitted the green pepper and tomato but added a whole red pepper. Everything else was as the recipe said. Nice with a splash of hot sauce on top! Thank you for this recipe!

  27. Brandi koehm says:

    Id like to use cut up russet or yellow potatoes diced instead. Do I need to add time or pre cook?

  28. Kathy Belinkie says:

    Just curious - with the French Toast Casserole and the Breakfast Casserole, what do you serve with them for a festive breakfast? Going to make both for a bridal shower brunch, but just can't seem to decide on what else I need.

  29. Cyd says:

    You could do fruit kabobs on skewers,orfrozen yogurt bites - https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/frozen-yogurt-bites/We have all kinds of breakfast muffins. Mini Cinnamon Roll Pops - https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/mini-cinnamon-roll-treats-recipe/Best of lunch with your bridal shower.

  30. Cyd says:

    Frozen hashbrowns have been blanched, so they are partially cooked. You would need to cook your potatoes and then shred or dice them. Here is a link with more information.https://ask.metafilter.com/224346/Difference-between-frozen-bagged-hash-browns-and-a-potatograter

  31. Julie says:

    What temperature do you set the oven to? I did not see it stated in the recipe.

  32. Cyd says:

    Set the oven to 350 degrees.

  33. Peggy Schabel says:

    I'm making this for my daughter in-laws shower and using 12x18 pans for 70 people planning on getting 24 servings per pan but not sure how many eggs per pan I should use can you help

  34. Cyd says:

    You could do 1 1/3 of this recipe for your pan size. Or just make about 4 batches and divide it between your pans. Cook until golden and set. Watch closely for doneness. Hope this helps. We have always made it in 9 x 13 inch pans. Best of luck with the casserole and your shower. Sounds so fun!!

  35. Sherry says:

    I have made this recipe twice now and each turned out really yummy. However, 350f for 55 minutes was not enough both times. I even turned it up to 385 and it still took more than an hour.

  36. Cyd says:

    Hi Sherry, Thanks for the heads up. We'll adjust the time.

  37. Jessica says:

    Do you think this would be good as meatless? Sometimes I have everything on hand but the sausage 😄

  38. Cyd says:

    This would be good without meat. But really tasty with meat!!

  39. Melissa Sue says:

    When this is prepared the night before, do you actually cook the casserole then warm it up the next morning OR are you putting it in the fridge uncooked then cook it the next morning?

  40. Cyd says:

    Prepare the casserole by combining all the ingredients. Then place in the fridge instead of cooking. Next morning pull it out and cook. It may take a little longer to cook because the ingredients are so cold from being in the fridge all night. So watch it closely. Or you can set it out for about 30 minutes before placing in the oven.

  41. Nikki says:

    Made this today. Phenomenal! So tasty! We were out of peppers so I just used a little more broccoli (around 2 cups). I topped it with a little extra cheese, sprinkle of red pepper flake, sour cream and sriacha. My husband says this is his new favorite. Thank you!

  42. Cyd says:

    Hi Nikki. We are so glad you liked the Easy Hashbrown and Egg Breakfast Casserole on Six Sisters. This is a great recipe for changing up ingredients. Loved hearing about the changes you made. Have a great week!

  43. Amy Jo Weseloh says:

    has anyone ever tried this in an electric roaster? We are making this wonderful recipe for my niece's bridal shower - (community come and go) and expect 150 people. oven space is limited so if I can use my roaster it would be great

  44. Erin B. says:

    Made this but omitted the sausage and I added fresh, premade at the store, pico de Gallo in place of the chopped veggies because it basically had the same thing and I wanted tomato in it and not broccoli and it was amazing!! I made it and cooked it in the morning (did not put in fridge overnight) Served with sliced avocado... perfect breakfast!

  45. Cassie says:

    Can I add mushrooms to this? I assume it would be suggested to sauté before adding them?

  46. Erin P says:

    This was very tasty! Took a bit longer to cook than I expected, I turned the oven up a bit. But really easy and delicious!!

  47. Momma Cyd says:

    Yes, mushrooms would be great in this breakfast casserole. I would saute them first.

  48. Deb says:

    Made with mild Italian sausage; excellent!

FAQs

Why is my hash brown casserole soggy? ›

Frozen hash browns will leak moisture during cooking, which could leave a soggy, sad mess behind. For the best results, let the frozen hash browns thaw overnight in the fridge, then thoroughly pat them dry to remove as much moisture as possible before cooking them to crispy.

Why is my breakfast casserole soggy? ›

Baked egg dishes tend to have issues with becoming too rubbery or watery after cooking. This is especially the case when high-moisture vegetables or dense meats are in the mixture—sautéing the potatoes and vegetables before baking helps to dry the food and concentrate flavors.

Why do you have to refrigerate breakfast casserole overnight? ›

The casserole is covered and refrigerated overnight to allow the liquid ingredients to be absorbed into the bread. This is a perishable mixture and should be cooked the morning or day after assembly. Bake in an oven set no lower than 325 °F. Most recipes suggest 350 °F.

How do you know when breakfast casserole is done? ›

To check if your egg casserole is done, you can insert a knife into it, and if it comes out clean and the casserole has set in the middle, then you can pull it out of the oven. As a quick tip, if it happens to be browning quickly, you can cover it with a piece of foil for the last minute of baking.

What is the trick to cooking hash browns? ›

Squeezing the shredded potato in a towel or cheesecloth to remove as much moisture as possible helps it brown more evenly. Cooking the shredded potato briefly in the microwave helps it develop a better crust that remains crispy for longer.

How do you thicken a hash brown casserole? ›

Whisk together equal parts cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl. Use one tablespoon of cornstarch per cup of liquid you would like to thicken. Stir out all the lumps. A few minutes before your casserole is done, add it a little at a time until you are happy with the thickness.

How do you make egg casserole not watery? ›

A corn starch and water mixture would probably work, but I find arrow root and water works well using less and at lower temperatures. Just adding it to the casserole before baking should thicken it without adding any other steps.

Should you cook a casserole covered or uncovered? ›

Generally, casseroles with grains, rice or pasta that will cook during the baking process are usually covered, for at least part of the time. Casseroles made of cooked ingredients are usually baked uncovered. If you like a crisper, browner top, be sure the casserole is uncovered for at least part of the bake time.

What is the key to making a good casserole? ›

  1. Choose the right baking dish. If you're all about the crunchy topping, use a shallow dish. ...
  2. Undercook your pasta. ...
  3. Drain your meat. ...
  4. Beware of mushy vegetables. ...
  5. Know your cheeses. ...
  6. Master the art of casserole assembly. ...
  7. Don't skip the topping. ...
  8. Make it now, but bake it later.

Can you eat an egg casserole that was left out overnight? ›

Never leave cooked eggs or egg dishes out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours or for more than 1 hour when temperatures are above 90° F. Bacteria that can cause illness grow quickly at warm temperatures (between 40° F and 140° F).

Can you leave raw egg mixture in the fridge? ›

If you've got raw egg yolks or whites left over from a recipe which you don't want to waste (let's face it, why would you?), you can store them in the fridge as long as you plan to use them within the next few days.

Can you make a casserole with raw eggs ahead of time? ›

Can You Make Egg Casserole Ahead of Time? This easy egg casserole is the perfect make-ahead breakfast. Simply combine the ingredients the night before and place the mixture in a prepared baking dish, then cover it tightly with storage wrap or foil. In the morning, bake the casserole according to the recipe.

How to tell if hashbrown casserole is done? ›

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 F. After 45 minutes, it'll be done but looking kinda pale.

Why is my breakfast casserole runny in the middle? ›

Why Is My Breakfast Casserole Runny? The key to a breakfast casserole that is moist and delicious but not runny is to make sure you have the proper ratio of bread, eggs, and milk. If there is too much liquid for the bread to absorb, the result could be a runny casserole.

How long to bake eggs at 350 degrees? ›

Bake eggs at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes or until the yolk reaches your desired doneness. If your eggs don't come right out, run a knife around the edges to help them loosen.

How to make hash browns not mushy? ›

Squeeze out the moisture: Squeeze out as much moisture as you can from the grated potatoes. An easy way do this with a potato ricer (or an orange or lemon press), using it like you would a garlic press but without forcing the potatoes through it completely. You just want to press out the excess moisture.

How do you keep hash browns from getting soggy? ›

We want you to soak the potatoes in water, like really slosh them around to release some starch. This helps to avoid that awkwardly raw center between crispy outer layers.

How do you make a casserole not soggy? ›

Just because your casserole is starting to look a bit soupy doesn't mean it's beyond saving. In fact, all you need to do is add some pasta noodles or grains to your base. This trick works for the simple reason that both types of ingredients soak up water as they cook.

Why is my casserole watery? ›

Prep Vegetables Ahead Of Time

That's because vegetables naturally contain a lot of water in their raw form. When cooked, water leaches out, transforming your rich, gooey casserole into a liquidy slop. That doesn't mean you have to ditch your beloved veggies, though.
