Our family routine generally includes a pretty boring breakfast. My husband and son eat oatmeal almost daily and my daughter and I like to have yogurt. But, that doesn’t mean we don’t like to splurge, usually at brunch. In fact, with Easter coming up this Vegetarian Egg Potato and Sausage Casserole would be a great idea! MorningStar Farms Sausage Patties are not only vegetarian but they are so tasty. We love them and they are a big indulgence for us. They taste great with pancakes, inside breakfast burritos and in this Egg and Potato Casserole.
What I love about this egg and potato casserole is how easy it is. I mean, with two kids, easy is always better for our busy family. Besides being simple, it is also oh so tasty. Since there are only four in our family I don’t make a huge portion. Using an 8 inch square dish this egg and potato casserole easily feeds our entire family of four.

That looks so easy! I’ll have to send this over to my sister-in-law because she is always looking for new recipes! Thanks!

Thanks, Sara. Easy is my specialty. Ha!
Jen A says
To be honest, I’ve never tried any meat (non-meat) substitute meals as we aren’t vegetarian. The dish looks delicious though! I’m pinning it for any of my vegetarian readers!
LaVonne says
Thanks Jen. My sister, who isn’t vegetarian, enjoys these sausage patties too. They are quite tasty! I don’t know if they “taste” like real sausage. They do to me. LOL!
Nicole says
While I prefer to prepare fresh meals, I really like Morning Star products. I usually keep a box of their corn dogs in my freezer for emergency lunches for the kids.
LaVonne says
This is definitely one of those indulgent brunch items we don’t have too often. But yes, we like fresh meals too. You can easily make this with real potatoes as well.
LyndaS says
That looks good! I like eating breakfast casseroles – they seem so satisfying.
LaVonne says
So satisfying and pretty affordable too!

LaVonne says
We like to keep the burgers and breakfast strips in the freezer regularly. The sausage patties are a treat though. It was nice to have them this week. I love Morningstar too!
