The Best Breakfast Casserole Recipes

The savory smells of a breakfast casserole is exactly what I expect to fill my house with every Christmas morning! These past few weeks, leading up to Christmas, we’ve been focusing on the entertaining aspect of the holidays. Now, it’s all about feeding your soul with comfort foods and good company. It’s time to BRUNCH!

Our brunch menu really is a group effort, and that is what I love most about big gatherings that are mainly centered around food. Sharing recipes is obviously one of my favorite facets of life, and many of our friends have given me inspiration for the dishes on this blog. If you have a recipe that you think is amazing, but lack the platform to share, I’d love to hear from you, and feature it on The Southern Source!

In the mean time, check out these classic breakfast casseroles and add them to your next brunch menu!

Potato Chip Hash Brown Casserole

The hash brown casserole has a potato chip topping and if you read the 26 facts about me, you’ll learn that chips are my weakness. I absolutely love chips of all flavors, shapes and brands. I am a big fan of Lays, so the Lays Classic Potato chip is what we’ll be using in my recipe below.

Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole

This is a classic sausage and egg casserole recipe that everyone loves. Get a head start on the prep for this casserole by browning the sausage the night before and storing it in the fridge. For a crowd of twenty, we usually make two sausage casseroles, and if you’re like us and have someone with a gluten allergy, just make one without the crescent rolls. It still tastes out of this world!
