How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

This casserole is a meal prep hero. Cut it into squares and store in airtight containers for up to 3 days; it reheats beautifully in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go. For longer storage, wrap individual portions in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.

To serve, I love pairing it with a fresh fruit salad and a drizzle of hot sauce for a little kick. It’s also fantastic on a brunch buffet next to muffins and coffee—everyone can grab a slice and go. Just reheat frozen portions overnight in the fridge or straight in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned, breaking it up. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in hash browns, cooked sausage mixture, and 1 1/2 cups cheese.
  4. Pour mixture into prepared dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until set and golden on top. Let rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley and serve.

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate—then bake in the morning, adding 10 minutes to the cook time. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months; reheat in the oven or microwave.
