This dairy free breakfast casserole is a delicious, hearty dish full of eggs, potatoes, sausage, peppers, and onions. It’s an easy make-ahead meal.
A hearty breakfast is the best way to start a busy day. While we love pancakes and other sweet breakfasts in my house, sometimes a savory, protein-rich meal is in order.

Many people would add cheese to a dish like this, but it’s not necessary with all the other flavors working together so well here. Nobody misses the dairy in this dish.
Dairy Free Breakfast Casserole Tips
For the liquid in this recipe, I like to use oat milk. You could substitute almond milk or any other mild non-dairy milk, or use regular milk if you’d prefer.
I use breakfast sausage links that I get from my local meat share. You can use any sausage links you’d like, or try crumbled breakfast sausage. Alternately, you could use chopped cooked bacon.
Frozen hash browns can go right into this recipe while still frozen. If your hash browns have salt in them, use less salt than the amount listed. And if your hash browns are defrosted, the cook time will be a bit shorter.
You can adapt this recipe by substituting chopped asparagus for the red pepper, use shallots instead of onions, or add some mushrooms for a different flavor. You can also skip the sausage for a vegetarian version. This dairy free breakfast casserole is a very flexible recipe that always comes out delicious.

I made this for a baby shower today—the mama was dairy-free. And it was delicious! Didn’t even miss the cheese.
Can I make this casserole a day before and bake in morning?
I haven’t tried this, but I imagine it would work well.
