Busy mornings usually mean you’re forced to either eat a quick and unsatisfying breakfast, grab something on the go, or skip breakfast altogether. But thanks to Ree Drummond, you can choose a fourth option. The Pioneer Woman has crafted a breakfast casserole recipe that can be made ahead of time and frozen, so all you have to do is pop it into the oven as soon as you wake up, and you’ll have a satisfying meal at the ready in minutes.

It’s delicious, filling, and the individual portions make it a no-brainer part of your meal prepping routine.

Drummond calls these casseroles her Ultimate Breakfast Bakes, and you can tailor them to your liking. Drummond first starts by cooking up some sausage and bacon bits before whipping up her eggs. She adds Greek yogurt and milk to her eggs to give them a creamy consistency and seasons them with salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.

To build the casseroles, Drummond likes to use mini aluminum casserole dishes to make them more meal prep-friendly. She first lines the bottom with frozen tater tots, then sprinkles on her meats, some of the egg mixture, then she tops the casserole with sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper jack cheese.

Each casserole gets covered with tin foil and popped into the freezer until it’s needed. Then, on a busy morning, one of the casseroles can be taken out of the freezer and put into the oven, and baked for 30 minutes with the foil on. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 to get the cheese super melty.

It doesn’t get much easier than that! Busy morning breakfasts don’t have to be boring and unsatisfying. Make up a bunch of these mini casseroles to start your days off right. Grab the full recipe from The Pioneer Woman here, and mornings will never be the same.
