Afterwards, carefully crack each egg into a large bowl. Once all cracked beat the eggs together until scrambled.

Then we want to add the cooked sausage and onion along with the bacon crumbles, to the bowl and give everything a good mix.

Afterwards you will want to add the thawed hash browns to the bowl and give it one final stir to combine the casserole mixture.

Once mixed we can transfer the breakfast casserole to a well-greased 9x13 baking dish. When all done go ahead and place the baking dish into the pre-heated oven. Allow your Amish Breakfast Casserole to bake for approximately 35 minutes or until it is cooked through.

You will know the casserole is ready to come out of the oven when the center no longer appears wet and the edges are golden brown. Your Amish Breakfast Casserole should be firm to the touch and not runny when served.

Afterwards you can serve your baked casserole with a side of fresh pico de gallo or homemade salsa. Then add a dollop of sour cream and enjoy! We also enjoy dishing the casserole into a tortilla for easy and hearty breakfast burritos!
