    Breakfast Enchilada Casserole is the perfect dish for a lazy weekend morning. Make it on Saturday morning and you'll have leftovers to start your week right!

    A slice of breakfast enchilada casserole on a white plate with a fork. They sit on a green cloth napkin.

    It's not always easy to get a delicious and healthy breakfast on the table every morning which is why freezer-friendly breakfast casseroles are a must-have in your freezer. This Breakfast Enchilada Casserole is a yummy addition to your breakfast rotation and it's easy to make.

    It's packed with bold flavors - eggs, sausage, peppers, and tomatoes. Green chiles give it a kick. It's sure to be a winner at your house.

    Ready to give it a try? You'll want to make a double batch so you can enjoy a big slice for breakfast this weekend and then freeze one for a busy week when cereal just won't do. Let me show you how to make it!

    Ingredients to make breakfast enchilada casserole

    How to Make Breakfast Enchilada Casserole

    Sausage and egg mixture in a skillet
    1. Preheat oven to 350°.
    2. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking oil and set aside.
    3. Crumble the sausage in a large skillet and cook until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
    4. Add one tablespoon of butter to a large skillet. Once it begins to sizzle, add the peppers and onions, and cook until the onions are translucent, and the peppers begin to soften (about 2 minutes.) Remove skillet from heat.
    5. Add the cooked sausage and tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine.
    6. Whisk eggs and add the seasonings.
    7. Add one tablespoon of butter to a large skillet. Once it begins to sizzle, add the eggs. Cook until not quite firm. Remove skillet from heat. Combine the eggs and the sausage mixture and mix well.
    8. Add 1 cup of the enchilada sauce to the bottom of the casserole dish.
    9. Add ⅓ of the tortilla pieces on top of the sauce, making sure they are spread evenly across the pan.
    10. Spread ½ of the sausage mixture evenly over the tortilla pieces.
    11. Spread 1 cup of the cheese evenly over the sausage mixture. Top with ⅓ of the tortilla pieces, spread evenly over the mixture.
    12. Spread the remaining sausage mixture evenly over the tortilla pieces.
    13. Layer the remaining tortilla pieces evenly over the sausage mixture.
    14. Spread the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the tortilla pieces.
    15. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the casserole and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling. Place under the broiler and allow the cheese to brown. Remove and garnish with fresh cilantro and top with your favorite fresh ingredients.

    How to Freeze Breakfast Enchilada Casserole

    You can (and should!) make a double batch of this delicious casserole and freeze one for later. Here are my tips to freeze it:

    1. Bake in a disposable aluminum pan.
    2. Allow it to cool completely before freezing. You never want to put hot food in your freezer.
    3. Make sure you cover the casserole with parchment paper first and then top it tightly with aluminum foil.
    4. When you want to reheat the frozen casserole, make sure to thaw it completely in your refrigerator.
