Breakfast Casserole for the Freezer - by Sunscape

It was time to restock the freezer for my husband's breakfasts. This is one of the recipes that I make for him on a regular basis. He pulls one out of the freezer the night before and lets it defrost in the refrigerator. It only takes him a few minutes to reheat it for his breakfast. I prefer to make different things in large batches for him to choose from.

Sunscapes Breakfast Casserole

1 can of each: corn, carrots, green beans, mixed vegetables, diced tomatoes with green chilis
12- 15 eggs
12-15 hash brown patties or 1 package of frozen hash browns thawed
1 roll of buttermilk biscuits
shredded cheese - I use a Mexican blend
2 cups of diced, cooked ham or 1 lb of ground pork sausage

This is very simple to make I use whatever vegetables I have on hand. For this one, I used carrots, green beans, corn, mixed veggies, and diced tomatoes with chilis.

I put the hash brown potatoes with parchment paper in a deep-sided pan for the bottom layer. After draining all of the vegetables and beating the eggs, I season them with salt and pepper and add the meat and cheese, mixing well.

With everything combined, I pour the mixture over the hash browns and bake it at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. This is the point that I remove the pan from the oven to put the buttermilk biscuits on top. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top and continue cooking until the biscuits are golden and the eggs are totally set up. It often takes another 15-20 minutes.

After cooling in the pan for 30 minutes or so I tilt the pan and pull out the entire casserole with the parchment onto a large cutting board to cool.

Slice the casserole into single-sized portions and put them onto a parchment-lined cookie tray to freeze overnight before packaging. These portions freeze and thaw perfectly and can easily be reheated. It really makes it easy for me to have different breakfasts prepared for my husband. He can choose which he wants any day of the week while I take time with my morning coffee to create posts for Hive.

Look how nice and thick the pieces come out, making them a hefty breakfast to start the day.

Your freezer must indeed be a treasure of delicacies and honestly if I were in your husband's shoes I would devour all the yummy, yummy, yummy foods you make. 😁

He devours everything very well. I have to keep replacing things in the freezer. lol

This is just more than I can take @sunscape. This is purely delicious breakfast, your husband must be so lucky to have such a feast for breakfast.

Awe, you are too kind, Edith. He does enjoy having a nice big breakfast.

Those do look good and I do remember you making them before.

Yes, I do make them every other month for him. He loves the breakfast meals. Got more snow today and the temps went up a little.

Yummy! Delicious and filling breakfast. Your husband is so lucky to have all the goodies and yummy food everyday! I would have to run to burn out the calories everyday! My stomach would come close to bursting and I would sit like a fat cat!

I don't believe it, you as a fat cat? Maybe last life, lol.

Yummy!👌

I love how organized you are @sunscape! I make something similar but in the form of a savoury bread pudding. I like your version, sure would keep anyone going till lunchtime!

It sure does. The husband needs it since he has been dropping a lot of pounds this past year. I try to beef him up now. 😁

You're awesome, thank you!

Sounds great! I love veggies for breakfast.

It's so easy and freezes great.

Wow wow this casserole looks amazing and so rich but it's more a lunch than a breakfast 🤣 your hubby must have a big stomach 🤣🤣

He likes a big breakfast and light Lunch. The casserole fills him up. 😃

That looks really, really yummy. Not sure what we'd use for the top in the UK as we don't get buttermilk biscuits. Are they savoury?

Not really, just a light biscuit. You don't have to use them as I often top it with more cheese if I don't have them on hand. Plus, some bacon bits are nice too.

Looks amazing and I bet it tastes just as amazing!

Thanks, @erikah it is delicious and, with some Caribbean hot sauce, so good!
