Breakfast casserole without eggs

We love breakfast casseroles in our home. However, most of them include eggs as a main ingredient.

Whether its a general dislike of eggs or avoiding eggs due to allergies, this recipe takes simple ingredients to produce a delicious breakfast.

How to make breakfast casserole without eggs

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9×13 casserole dish.
2. Brown the ground pork sausage in a frying pan until no longer pink, breaking into chunks as you cook. Drain the excess grease and then remove and place aside in a bowl.
3. Place the frozen southern hashbrowns and yellow onion into a frying pan. Add the olive oil into the frying pan.
4. Cook according to package instructions on the hashbrowns .
5. Once the hashbrowns are cooked, add the spinach and spices (salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic) to the hashbrowns and cook an additional 2 minutes.

What I love about this recipe

It is always a crowd pleaser! I have brought no egg breakfast casserole to potluck breakfasts and it is devoured quickly. It can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for even more ease. It does take a bit of time (30 minutes prep) to cook each individual ingredient, but the serving size is large and makes it worth the time and effort.

The base layer of southern hashbrowns has a crunchy outside and tender inside (as an added bonus, it makes this casserole gluten free). The pork sausage is rich in flavor and makes up a large portion of the casserole. And to finish the casserole off – melted cheese and crispy bacon! Yum!
