Whenever I see breakfast bowls on fast food menus, or in the freezer section of my grocery store, I think of how easy they would be to make at home.
Breakfast bowls are very simple. They are basically just potatoes, eggs, sausage, and maybe a few vegetables all mixed together, I knew a homemade version of these would be so easy to come up with.
I tried a few different things and came up with a version that my family loves.
My favorite thing about breakfast bowls is that I can make up a large batch at once and we can enjoy it for several meals. This mixture also freezes really well and makes for an easy breakfast on busy days.
This recipe makes a lot, so if you are just making it for one breakfast you will probably need to cut the recipe in half.
And in our family these really are not breakfast bowls because we will eat them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Breakfast Bowls
- 1 bag of frozen O’brien hashbrowns (cooked according to package directions)
- 1 dozen scrambled eggs cooked
- 1 pound breakfast sausage browned
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Mix all the cooked ingredients together and stir in cheese. Serve immediately or reheat and serve. You can also freeze this in small containers and take out and reheat as needed.

This is always my lunch the day after we have boiled potatoes! Love it, love it!

We love breakfast in our house, so these bowls would be a hit! I never thought of making them in advance…thanks for the tip.
I love to make this!! I even go a step further and make breakfast burritos, wrap them in waxed paper and freeze for those super busy mornings!
Yum! I just did sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits and froze those individually. I’ll have to try this next. We’re big on breakfast night too so I could use it for that as well. Thanks!

Do eggs freeze well? How are they after you reheat them? I’ve never frozen them. This looks great!! I’m making your refried beans today to freeze! I’m so excited to have food in the freezer ready for use.

@Jen, I don’t like eggs frozen on their own, but when frozen and reheated in a dish like this with other ingredients we enjoy them. The texture may change a little, but we don’t really notice it.
we have made this before it is delicious I do add a bit of seasoning since hubby is from the south he requires it in most everything.
I really like the idea of freezing individual bowls for the kids to grab. Also, you could save money by making your own hash browns.

Easy and fast and tasty – what a fabulous idea! I was just thinking we needed to change things up at breakfast sometimes.

This looks delicious! In Texas, we would take this concoction and put it into a tortilla for a breakfast taco.
Wow, what a great idea! I LOVE yummy breakfast foods–all mixed together. I am going to do this for my family! Do you freeze individual bowls, or freeze in bulk?
Thanks for a simple, but great idea!
Great idea! We do this often for dinner as well! YUMMO!
I never think about this because breakfast bowls aren’t my favorite thing, but they’re definitely one of my husband’s favorite meals! I love hearing that they freeze well. Since I won’t eat them and DH won’t eat a whole batch (since I won’t let him!) I’ll definitely be making these ahead of time!

This is how I start my breakfast tacos. I also add onions, bell pepper, garlic & celery to the hash browns (when my children allow it, read that daughter). Put a large tablespoon in the middle of a flour tortilla and roll up, place in small baggie or snack ziploc bag, close; place in a two gallon ziploc bag and freeze. Just take out what you want in the morning (or afternoon or evening) and warm in the microwave for about 45 seconds depending on the number your are warming up. We make these when we go RVing to the river every summer.
