Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole

This casserole is great option not only for breakfast ( as noted in the title of the recipe), but, for dinner or lunch. It’s full of protein and bit of cheesy goodness.

Ingredients Needed:

  • Hash browns
  • Eggs
  • Cheese
  • Milk
  • Breakfast sausage
  • Salt -Pepper -Onion powder

Hash Brown: I used a frozen variety of diced southern style potatoes. However, a shredded version will also work. Just be sure your potatoes are thawed before cooking the casserole. If they are frozen, this will affect the consistency of your casserole.

Can I Use a Low Carb Alternative to Hash Browns?

Breakfast Sausage: You want to use a ground breakfast sausage for this. It could pork, turkey, chicken or a plant based version. Make sure it’s fully cooked ( no longer pink) and if necessary, drained before adding it to the casserole.

Cheese Ideas

All of these flavors will go well with it. However, shredded will just work better.

  • Any variety of cheddar
  • Colby Jack
  • Swiss
  • Taco blend
  • Italian blend
  • American

How to Make: (full instructions in recipe card)

  • First, grease a 6-7 inch round baking pan. See recipe card for what I use.
  • Add breakfast sausage to your instant pot and using the saute function, cook it until it’s no longer pink. If needed, drain the sausage. Then, wipe out the pot lightly.
  • Pour water into the bottom of the pot and place the steam rack into the pot.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk and dried spices.
  • Layer the bottom of your pan with defrosted hash browns. Then, layer the cooked breakfast sausage. Pour the egg mixture on top them. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Cover pan with foil and place on top of steam rack.
  • Place the lid on your instant pot and cook on high pressure. Do a quick release. Carefully, remove pan from the pot and remove foil.
  • It’s hot! Let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

Goes great with a dollop of fresh salsa.
