Velveeta cheese breakfast casserole is the cheesiest breakfast casserole you will ever make.
As the breakfast casserole bakes the cheese melts into all the crevices between the sausage and eggs making each bite full a cheesy delight.
A block of cheddar or a bag of shredded cheese, regardless of the brand will not melt the way Velveeta does.
This cheesy breakfast casserole recipe with sausage will make a 9 x13 baking tray and will feed a large family.
It is a great breakfast casserole recipe to serve when you are having a family breakfast, holiday breakfast or brunch.
If you have a smaller family then you can divide the recipe in half and make an 8x8 baking pan.
When making an 8 X 8 tray you will probably need to trim the hash brown patties to fit the bottom of the smaller pan.
10 - 12 hash brown patties fit the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish perfectly.

Directions to make breakfast casserole
Follow these easy step by step directions to make Velveeta Breakfast Casserole below.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 F. degrees.
Brown the breakfast sausage in a frying pan. When the sausage is cooked through drain it on a paper towel. Set it aside.
Step 2: Bake the hash brown patties following the directions on the package. Flip them over half way through so they brown evenly on both sides.
When the hash browns are finished cooking line the bottom of a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan in a single layer.
Step 3: Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl.
Add the salsa, sour cream and salt and pepper to the bowl with the beaten eggs.
Mix well so most of the lumps of sour cream are mixed into the eggs and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4: Add the browned crumbled sausage to the bowl with the eggs.
Stir the browned ground breakfast sausage into the egg mixture.
Step 5: Add the cubed Velveeta Cheese to the bowl.
Stir to mix the cheese into the egg and sausage mixture.
Step 6: Mix well to combine and coat the cheese and sausage in the egg mixture.
Step 7: Pour the casserole ingredients into the baking pan over the cooked hash brown patties in the 9 x 13 baking dish.
Use the back of a wooden spoon to spread the cubed cheese and sausage evenly over the hash browns.
Step 8: Bake in a preheated 350 F. degrees oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle and the cheese is bubbling. Use a tooth pick to check.
Recipe FAQS
Leftover breakfast casserole can be frozen and eaten another day. Cut the breakfast casserole into individual serving, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. The plastic wrap will keep the pieces from getting freezer burn. To reheat unwrap a piece and heat in the microwave for a minute or two until heated through the center.
Recipe Expert Tips
- Crispy hash brown patties: Bake the hash browns or cook them in the air fryer which is how I recently made crispy hash brown patties.
