Hangover Casserole–Instant Pot or Crockpot egg, potato, spinach and mushroom breakfast casserole.
Hangover Casserole
Got a candy hangover from Halloween? Get some good nutrition in you with this nutritious egg casserole. It’s got spinach and mushrooms for veggies, eggs and cheese for protein and flavor from salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion. This recipe can be made in your Instant Pot or your Crockpot.
Greg loved this (we served it for dinner) with salsa on top and I’m a ketchup fan. You can get creative with additions into this casserole. Some ideas are bell pepper, bacon crumbles, goat cheese, minced garlic, red onion, green onion, ham cubes, etc.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Russet potatoes–or red potatoes
- Olive oil–or butter
- Onion–or shallot
- Mushrooms
- Spinach–fresh or frozen
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder–or granulated garlic
- Shredded cheese–I used a mexican blend. Cheddar, colby jack, monterey jack are all good choices.

Steps
Wash and peel potatoes. Cut into ½ inch cubes. Place the potatoes into a steamer basket. Add 1 ½ cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add steamer basket into bottom of Instant Pot.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid. Remove the steamer basket and set aside. Discard the water.
Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Add in the oil and onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and spinach and saute for 3 more minutes. Turn off Instant Pot.
Stir the potatoes, ½ tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp pepper and garlic powder into the pot. Gently stir in the cheese.
In a bowl whisk the eggs together with remaining ¼ tsp of kosher salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pot.
Cover Instant Pot with air fryer lid. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes/Tips

- I used an Avokado silcone steamer basket*.
- If you’d like you can add in bacon crumbles or cooked ground sausage with the eggs. You may want to reduce salt if you add in bacon or sausage.
- Try adding in some diced bell pepper (saute with the spinach).

Sounds and looks amazing! I do have an Instant Pot but not an air fryer lid. I have an air fryer, not basket type, it’s an Emeril Lagasse French Door 360….it does so much more than air fry. It also has a bake setting, so I’m thinking of using the bake setting instead of the regular oven. My question is, no matter which type of oven I use to bake this, do I still need to steam the potatoes first? Before putting it in a casserole dish? I’m thinking do everything in the IP except the eggs, then mix everything together and then bake. What ya think? Thanks!
I would go through step 5 as written. Then transfer the mixture to a 9×9 inch casserole dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
Ok great! Can’t wait to make this over the weekend. Your recipes are always good!!
Oh, after I add the egg mixture, should I cover it with foil before baking? Seems like baking eggs for 45 minutes is a long time. (Not questioning your advice lol) Thanks!!
maybe cover with foil for 30 minutes and then take off foil for last 15 minutes
Karen I made the recipe as written and it was good, but it was a little too heavy on the potatoes. I will cook fewer next time. I’d also like to add the cooked sausage. How much should I use?
I would use half a pound of sausage, cooked.
Italian sausage, scallions and parm
I plan to make this in a 9×9 casserole dish. Should the dish be covered?
no need to cover
After i pressure cook the potatoes and i drain the water and place the metal container back in the instant pot and press saute, it automatically says “end”. Then after trying a couple of more times it says “c6l”. Any help?
That error code means that one of the pressure sensors isn’t working. Most of the time, it’s due to a buildup on the sensor contacts. Cleaning the contacts will likely fix the problem.
Could this be made in the oven? Suggestions for baking time would be appreciated.
Oops, please ignore the question about oven preparation. I didn’t read the recipe thoroughly enough before asking the question, and now I see there is instructions for using the oven.
