Loaded Overnight Breakfast Casserole

Loaded Overnight Breakfast Casserole

My family all agreed that this breakfast was a winner! I loved it because it took hardly any time at all to prepare. I put a few things into the Instant Pot the night before. I refrigerated it overnight and the egg mixture soaked into the hashbrowns. Then I cooked the casserole in the morning for a couple of hours. It was the perfect choice for a mid-morning breakfast.

Greg said it’s definitely my best breakfast casserole yet. I do believe this is because of the overnight refrigeration. That process really allowed the egg mixture to soak into the hashbrowns and the consistency of the eggs was perfect.

It’s a bonus that you can cook the casserole in the Instant Pot, slow cooker or the oven! You choose the method! Make sure to spray the bottom of whatever dish you use with non-stick cooking spray or you’ll have quite the mess to scrape off.

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

  • Hashbrowns–or tater tots (you can also do a combination of the two) or hashbrown patties
  • Salt and pepper
  • Bacon crumbles–or a cup of cubed ham or browned ground sausage
  • Eggs
  • Milk–or evaporated milk
  • Ground mustard
  • Shredded cheddar cheese–or another type of cheese like colby or pepper jack

Steps

  1. Grease your dish: Spray your crockpot, Instant Pot or 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 
  2. Layer: Arrange hashbrowns/tater tots in the bottom. Lightly salt and pepper the hashbrowns. Sprinkle the bacon on top. 
  3. Whisk eggs: In a bowl beat together the eggs, milk, ground mustard, a pinch of salt and pinch of pepper. Pour over the bacon.
  4. Get cheesy: Sprinkle the cheese on top. 
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Instant Pot baking instructions: Place the liner into the Instant Pot. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Press the slow cook button and set it to 2 hours and 30 minutes on high. Crockpot baking instructions: place the crock liner into the slow cooker. Cover with lid and slow cook on high for 2-3 hours. Oven baking instructions: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cover pan with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes. 

Notes/Tips

  • Want to add some veggies? Try adding in sauteed peppers, onions and mushrooms. Add them on top of the hashbrown layer. Another idea is to add in some chopped spinach. No need to cook it beforehand.
  • Serve with pancakes and fruit.
  • This recipe is gluten-free.
  • To make this recipe low carb try using cauliflower rice in the place of hashbrowns.
  • I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a slow cooker or in the oven.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Other recipes you can make with hashbrowns are Instant Pot Broccoli Ham Casserole.

    I’m making this recipe tonight for tomorrow. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. I have a problem every time I try to print out these recipes. The ingredients don’t print out, just tiny little dots. How can I fix that problem? Any advice would be appreciated. THANKS!

      That is weird! When you do the print preview does it show all the ingredients?

    It looks great! I was wondering how it would turn out using the pressure cooker setting on the Instant Pot?

      You could do that but you would have to use the pot in pot method and it would probably take a 30 minute pressure cook time.

    Can I use the liner from my Instant pot inside my Ninja foodie WITHOUT a trivet? The lid will not close if I put anything under the liner from the Instant pot. I do not have any other tall round deep dish to use.

      I think you need a trivet underneath it so that the air can circulate underneath. But I’m not 100% sure!
