What Makes This Recipe So Good
Hashbrowns. Sausage. Eggs. Cheddar. Basically all the breakfast staples come together in one easy-to-make breakfast casserole that’s gluten free, feeds a group, and can totally be made in advance to save time on busy holiday (or regular day) mornings. It’s SO delicious. Like, it’s so simple that it shouldn’t be as delicious as it is, and YET. I could eat this literally every day, it’s that good. My whole family loves it, too, which just makes life SO much easier. And I don’t know about you, but any recipe that makes life a little easier is a totally must-make in my book. You can make this recipe as simple or as involved as you like. Work in some sautéed mushrooms or fajita-style veggies. Use crumbled bacon, diced ham, or maple sausage. Switch up the cheese, change up the seasonings, throw on your favorite toppings (salsa would be delish). Or just keep things classic like we did this time around.
Chef’s Tips
Ok, meal preppers and make-ahead-ers (?). You’ve got two options for prepping this one in advance. Option 1 – assemble the gluten free breakfast casserole as instructed the night before, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight. When you’re ready to bake it in the morning, let it come to room temperature first, then bake as instructed. Option 2 – make everything exactly as instructed, let the fully baked casserole cool, refrigerate it in an airtight container, and reheat individual servings throughout the week. Both methods work really well, and both taste really good. After your frozen hashbrowns thaw, be sure to drain any liquid well. You don’t want a breakfast casserole that’s soggy on the bottom. Double check your individual ingredients for added salt (or salt substitutes). If your hashbrowns or sausage are particularly salty, you’ll want to dial back the amount you add yourself. Making this for someone who’s gluten free, even though you yourself eat gluten on the regular? You’ll want to be extra sure that the sausage and hashbrowns you use are actually gluten free. Some brands use additives and other secretly gluten-containing ingredients, and some are just a risk of cross-contamination. To be really safe, look for “certified gluten free” labels on the packaging.
