I love a breakfast casserole. They make breakfast so simple and no one complains about a cheesy casserole filled with eggs and hash browns!
This one and Amish Breakfast Casserole are staples in our house.

How Long Is Breakfast Casserole Good For
Overnight Ham Breakfast Casserole will be fine in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days. Make sure to cover it tightly to keep it fresh as long as possible.
I like to bake casseroles in this square baking dish that has a lid so I can just pop the lid on when I’m ready to refrigerate it. Makes things so much easier!
Can You Freeze Breakfast Casserole
This casserole can be frozen either before baking or after!
To freeze it unbaked, assemble it completely and transfer to a freezer-safe and oven-safe container (like a disposable aluminum foil pan). Cover it tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost it in the refrigerator overnight before baking. It shouldn’t require any extra baking time if it’s completely thawed.
If you want to freeze it after baking, I would divide it into individual portions and freeze in separate containers. That way you can just pull out a single serving if that’s all you need. The baked casserole will be good in the freezer for 2 months. Defrost it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat either in the microwave or the oven (if you want that crispy top!).
