Overnight Christmas Breakfast Casserole
I love having a delicious breakfast on Christmas morning like this overnight Christmas breakfast casserole. Not only is it tasty but the bits of red pepper and green spinach in it also give it a festive look.
I love that I can make this the night before. However, if you don’t want to make it the night before, you don’t have to. You just have to thaw the hashbrowns ahead of time. Then, just assemble the casserole the same and bake it the same.
This breakfast casserole includes sausage, onion, red pepper, hashbrowns, spinach, eggs, milk, and cheese. This casserole is also gluten free. You can also make it dairy free if you use dairy free milk and cheese.
