Why You’ll Love this Recipe
Ingredients You’ll NeedHere are a few notes on the key ingredients you’ll need for this easy hashbrown breakfast casserole.
I love having a savory breakfast option to go along with something sweet. When we make cinnamon rolls or monkey bread for a special breakfast I always like to serve this hashbrown casserole alongside. The older I get the more I need protein with breakfast – especially when we’re having a sweet treat! (PS try these gluten-free donuts for a breakfast treat!) How to Make Gluten-Free Breakfast CasseroleThe first step to making delicious breakfast casserole is to cook the sausage and vegetables in a large skillet over medium heat. The onions and peppers in this casserole won’t cook anymore once they are mixed into the the casserole – so I like to get them nice and soft while I brown the sausage mixture. After the veggies have cooked, add the spinach and let it wilt for just a few minutes. I also love the pretty colors in this casserole with the the red pepper and spinach! Many breakfast casseroles use soaked bread for texture – but I keep this breakfast casserole gluten-free by adding frozen hashbrowns. They make it hearty and give it a great consistency. Also be sure to add a good teaspoon salt and pepper when you mix everything in a large bowl so this casserole is flavorful once it’s cooked. Make it over the holidays or the next time you have a big group of people to feed on a busy morning! Make it Dairy-FreeThis breakfast casserole is also really easy to make dairy-free. I actually almost always make it dairy-free when I prepare this for my family. I use coconut milk in place of regular milk and vegan cheese in place of sharp cheddar to make this dairy-free. It tastes just as delicious and you’d never know it’s dairy-free with all the sausage and onions/peppers! For another favorite recipe try these banana pancakes! Make-Ahead OptionOnce you’ve added all the ingredients into the casserole dish. You can cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the casserole. The next morning simply remove the plastic wrap and bake as instructed! I hope you enjoy this sausage hashbrown breakfast casserole as much as we do! PS try topping it with hot sauce!
