The 8 Casseroles I Make Every Christmas

(And Why I Prep Most of Them the Night Before!)

Christmas morning is filled with activity and fun, so who wants to step away from the magic to make breakfast? Not me! That’s why I lean on make-ahead casseroles that I can prep the night before and bake while we’re opening stockings. These are the dishes I make every single year—the savory breakfast bakes that feed a crowd, the classic sides that everyone expects (and requests!), and the cozy potato favorites that always earn second helpings.

Each one is simple, uses ingredients I already have on hand, and tastes amazing. The best part? Most can be assembled ahead of time for an even easier morning. I love that I can spend more time with my family and less time in the kitchen while still serving a delicious, comforting meal. From cheesy hashbrowns to sweet blueberry French toast to the crispy-onion classic, these are the recipes I trust year after year to make Christmas feel special without keeping me tied to the stove!

1. Christmas Morning Casserole

This is packed full of savory flavor, requires few ingredients and take no time at all! I prep it the night before so Christmas morning stays all about the fun. It’s eggs, sausage, bread, and cheese baked into a golden, bubbly pan that feeds a crowd.

2. Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

This casserole is one of our top 10 breakfast recipes! It has bacon, potatoes, and THREE kinds of cheese. It’s a favorite because it not only tastes amazing, but it feeds a crowd, is ultra simple to throw together, and can be prepped the night before.
