My Keto Breakfast Casserole with Sausage is such a popular breakfast in our house. Tons of yummy flavor and protein to start your day! It is an ideal make ahead breakfast recipe since it reheats beautifully!
Keto Breakfast Casserole with Sausage
My family loves my Keto/Low Carb Sausage Ball Puffs, but sometimes I don’t want to take the time to scoop out every single one and bake them in batches. When my time is short, I can make this Keto/Low Carb Sausage Breakfast Casserole instead. It is basically the same recipe except I subbed out the cheddar cheese for Monterrey Jack cheese since that is what I had on hand today.
My hubby and big kids love spicy foods, so I made it with hot sausage. I’m pretty much a wimp when it comes to hot stuff, but the hot sausage was pretty mild. This Keto breakfast casserole warms up nicely in an air fryer or wrapped in aluminum foil in the oven.
I’m a little bit of a leftover snob as I want my food to taste as close as possible to fresh out of the oven so I rarely warm up foods like this in the microwave. However, my family enjoys this recipe so much; I’ll probably have to make two casseroles to have enough to last for a couple of days.
Serving Keto Breakfast Casserole
While I love just this as a great stand-alone meal, some prefer a little something extra to go alongside this for breakfast. In that case, you can easily whip up a batch of our keto biscuit recipe. Just slice them in half, toast, and add a portion of this keto breakfast casserole to create a delicious and easy breakfast sandwich!

February 11, 2018 at 3:24 amOmgosh ? I’m working nites n will be stopping in my way home to get what I need to make this looks yummy ?
Lynne says
February 17, 2018 at 12:16 pmI use block cheese and hand shred because shredded cheese in a bag contains potatoe starch which is not keto friendly. Interested fact I found out. Will definitely make this
Kasey says
February 24, 2018 at 2:22 pmYes, I usually do as well. However, when I am in a rush I will use shredded and haven’t had any problem with it stalling me.

December 2, 2018 at 5:44 pmHi,
Can I substitute almond flour for the coconut flour? I really can’t stand coconut flavor. Thanks.
Tom
Kasey says
December 19, 2018 at 1:23 amYes, but you will need 4x as much.
Chelsea Hinton says
March 4, 2018 at 6:30 pmHow big is a serving?
Kasey says
March 4, 2018 at 9:26 pmI just cut the pan into 12 equal sized servings.
Denise Hall says
November 18, 2018 at 10:33 amI cut it into 6 pieces and it still was only 3 carbs, I used maple breakfast sausage, it has less carbs than the regular one. This is absolutely delicious
Kasey says
February 23, 2019 at 1:43 pmAwesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Megan says
March 5, 2018 at 11:08 amDo you have the macros for this? I
Made it and it’s delicious but just started Keto and tracking and keeping a close eye on all macros! Thank you!

Kasey says
March 5, 2018 at 3:58 pmSOrry about that. I had to do some updates on the back end of my blog. That info is in the recipe box at the bottom. Thanks!
Rachel says
March 5, 2018 at 4:02 pmCarbs per serving please?
Kasey says
March 5, 2018 at 4:04 pmThe nutritional information is included at the very bottom of the recipe box in the post.
Rob says
March 20, 2018 at 8:20 amCould almond flour be subbed?
Kasey says
March 23, 2018 at 3:45 pmYes, but it is not a 1:1 substitution. It is more like 1/4 cup coconut flour to 1 cup almond flour.
Lindsey says
May 2, 2018 at 1:35 pmDo you think the eggs could be doubled to make this a little fluffier? Also, can it be put together the night before and then thrown in the oven in the AM? Thanks!
Kasey says
May 3, 2018 at 9:15 pmI have no idea I have never tried it that way. I would think it would taste pretty eggy. Yes, you can put it together the night before and bake the next day. The cook time will be a little longer.
wanda capps says
May 13, 2018 at 8:33 amHow long after being cooked will it be ok in the refrig for reheating?
Kasey says
May 21, 2018 at 8:07 pmI don’t eat leftovers after 3 days.
Mary says
November 11, 2018 at 5:37 pmIs 4 eggs correct? I made it with 12, not realizing the error. It was good. Definitely tasted the coconut flour. Baked it about 5 mins longer
Kasey says
November 14, 2018 at 5:03 pmYes, 4 eggs are correct. If you are particularly sensitive to the taste of coconut you can sub almond flour but you’ll need 4x as much.
Elizabeth says
May 15, 2018 at 10:11 pmdoes this recipe freeze well? I was thinking of cutting it into portions first…sort of a grab and go to work!
Kasey says
May 23, 2018 at 3:34 pmI haven’t tried freezing it, but I would think it would be fine.
MrsDK says
September 22, 2018 at 1:09 pmMade this with just over a cup of almond flour instead of coconut and took it to church. It was a hit — thanks!
Tammy says
October 13, 2018 at 4:59 pmI just popped this in the oven. I was about to make the puffs but saw this. Way easier lol than spooning out puffs. I’m so lazy ?
Kasey says
October 13, 2018 at 7:25 pmHahaha! I understand.
Missy says
October 14, 2018 at 6:04 pmHi, I’m new to keto starting next week. This is my breakfast dish for the week. I’m preparing this for 3 people so it says it makes 12 servings so u only eat 1 square for breakfast right? Are you still hungry after? Can I add avocado and lettuce to make it more filling?
Kasey says
October 19, 2018 at 6:40 amIt is up to you how much you eat. I just provide the nutritional info per square so each person can determine their own serving size. I only eat breakfast one day a week on Saturday mornings personally. I would just eat one square with a slice or two of bacon.
Jenni says
October 23, 2018 at 11:18 amMade this with almond flour and added onions and bacon (personal preference) super yummy.
Kasey says
October 28, 2018 at 5:59 pmAwesome! Glad you loved it.

Amy says
December 7, 2018 at 12:13 pmHi! I have made this several times and love it! I was wondering what you thought of substituting the shredded cheese for cream cheese instead. Do you think that would turn out well or would it not cool right and ruin the casserole?
Kelli says
December 30, 2018 at 12:22 pmI have never cooked or eaten much sausage in my life, so sorry for the newby question, but how/where do you buy the sausage? Do you buy it in links and break them up, or do you buy it raw/ground somewhere?
Kasey says
February 23, 2019 at 2:43 pmIn the meat section of your grocery. It will be in the same section with hot dogs, sausage, bacon, etc. Use the breakfast sausage logs for this recipe.
Salima says
January 13, 2019 at 2:26 pmThanks for sharing this recipe! The macros listed on the bottom of the recipe seem super low for the entire recipe! As you mentioned, you cut the casserole into 12 pieces. So for each price, is it a 12th of the macros listed?
Kasey says
January 22, 2019 at 10:38 pmThe nutritional information listed is per serving based on 12 servings.
Jennifer says
January 13, 2019 at 7:25 pmMy husband won’t eat egg yolks. Would this be okay with just egg whites? Did I need to use 8 egg whites in place of the 4 whole eggs?
TIA.
Kasey says
January 22, 2019 at 10:37 pmThe eggs help make the bread in the casserole so I’m not sure it would work without the egg yolks. You need those for moisture. This is not an egg casserole. It is my sausage ball puffs in a casserole.
Stephanie says
January 27, 2019 at 7:37 pmAs I started assembling this, I realized I didn’t have any sour cream so I substituted 2 tbsp of cream cheese instead and added some heavy cream. It was delish!!!! The whole fam enjoyed this!
Taylor says
February 14, 2019 at 7:23 pmTastes exactly like McDonald’s sausage McMuffin without the bullshit ingredients and the fake American cheese. It was delicious and addicting!
Kasey says
February 16, 2019 at 11:03 pmGreat! So glad you loved it!
Tina says
February 20, 2019 at 10:33 pmCan you prepare this the night before and bake in the morning?
Kasey says
February 22, 2019 at 4:32 pmI’m only made it in the morning, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
Rene Miller says
May 29, 2019 at 7:59 pmNew to all of this but this is a great breakfast; 12 pieces will last us 3 days at least. I would imagine that baking and freezing half will not ruin anything about it. Going to try that next time.
But I do have a question? What is the perfect Keto coffee? Why is it called that? Does it give more energy? I am a coffee nut so this is a need to know.
Thanks, great job on all of your work here by the way.
Kasey says
June 1, 2019 at 9:51 pmI assume you are talking about bulletproof coffee. It is a way to get additional fats into your diet as well as keeps me filling full without having to eat a lot of carbs, calories, or proteins.
