Today for the Freezer Cooking Challenge, we’ll be making Easy Breakfast Casserole (x2). This is, for sure, one of the easiest make-ahead-meals to put together.
I save dirty dishes by cracking eggs directly into my casserole dishes. Then I add remaining ingredients, whisk it up, and it’s done. Super simple! If you have kids old enough to crack eggs, delegate that job to them while making these casseroles.
I made two of these casseroles last week with the help of my 12 year old. Once my casseroles were put together (it took 15 minutes, tops) – I put the lids on, and put one in the fridge to bake the following morning. The other, I labeled and put into the freezer, unbaked.
To bake my frozen Breakfast Casserole, I’ll simply put it into the fridge overnight, then bake as directed the next morning. I may need to add a little extra baking time if it hasn’t thawed entirely.
You will love how easy it is to make this casserole ahead of time! This kind of freezer cooking is my favorite. It’s practically effortless, and makes putting healthy food on the table for breakfast a piece of cake. (casserole. whatever.)
Go thou into the kitchen and begin cracking eggs. Breakfast has never been easier.
Check out how easy it is to make these great casseroles!
I am looking for recipes that can be baked and then frozen for my husband at hunting camp? Breakfast and dinner recipes. Thanks
Hey Laura it is sat December 23,2017 can I make the breakfast casserole and keep it in the frog till Christmas morning and then bake it or should I just bake it today.
Oops, I was offline during Christmas and missed this! I’ve done it both ways and both ways work! We prefer to mix it up the day before and bake it the day of so it’s fresh. :)
Laura, I have a favorite recipe (idea) to share – a lifesaver for me when I was a working mother (now retired). We call it “Wishbone Chicken”.
Wash and trim the fat on a WHOLE CHICKEN and place in a pan. Sprinkle it with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and slather with Wishbone Italian Dressing. That’s it. Bake about an hour at 350 degrees. Smells divine! Easy peasy!
As a working mom, I’d buy 3 or 4 whole chickens when on sale. I’d lay each cleaned chicken in foil and cover with the the salt and dressing. Then I’d wrap each tightly in the foil and put in freezer. On a work day, I’d take one out before I left for work, unwrap it, place in a pan and put it in the oven (frozen). I’d set the oven to come on at 2:00 p.m. at 325 degrees. The chicken will be partly thawed when the oven comes on.
The kids and I came home from school around 3:30. We’d walk into a luscious smelling house and a delicious “homemade” dinner was all ready for us!
Awesome, thank you for this idea!
