How to Make Crack Breakfast Casserole

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Layer the cooked sausage and crumbled bacon over the hash browns.

Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

6 eggs

1 packet of ranch dressing mix

Stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4: Bake the Casserole

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole layers.

Top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set, golden brown, and bubbling.

Step 5: Let It Rest & Serve

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips + Tricks for Recipe Success

✔ Use Freshly Cooked Hash Browns – If using fresh instead of frozen hash browns, sauté them lightly before assembling the casserole.
✔ Make It Spicy – Add diced jalapeños, a pinch of cayenne, or hot sauce for a little heat.
✔ Swap the Cheese – Try pepper jack, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend for a different flavor.
✔ Use Turkey or Chicken Sausage – A leaner option that still adds plenty of flavor.
✔ Make It Ahead – Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, bake as directed.

Serving Suggestions

✅ With Fresh Fruit – A side of mixed berries, melon, or orange slices balances the richness.
✅ Toast or Biscuits – Serve with buttery toast, English muffins, or homemade biscuits.
✅ Drizzle with Hot Sauce – If you love a kick, try it with sriracha, buffalo sauce, or salsa.
✅ Avocado & Sour Cream – A dollop of sour cream or sliced avocado adds creaminess.
✅ Breakfast Potatoes – Pair with crispy roasted potatoes for an extra-filling meal.

Storage & Reheating Tips

✔ Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
✔ Freezer: Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
✔ Reheat: Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or warm in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10 minutes.
