A good classic breakfast casserole recipe can really stand on its own most of the time, but if you’re feeding a lot of people or it’s a special occasion, you might want to add another main dish or even a sweet treat to serve with your casserole. If you’re wondering what to serve with a breakfast casserole, I’ve got you covered.

I love a good breakfast casserole, whether it’s a bagel casserole, waffle casserole, hash brown bacon casserole, or a slow cooker breakfast casserole…they are all awesome!

And while you can certainly make a full meal from a breakfast casserole, for a really hearty meal or to feed a crowd you could pair it with one of the recipes below that the whole family will love.

I put together this list of 19 different recipe ideas to serve with breakfast casserole that would make a perfect addition to anything from a laid-back Saturday brunch to special occasions like your Christmas morning meal.

If you have room in the oven you can also bake your breakfast potatoes.

Sautéing up some fresh veggies is a great healthy side for breakfast. Mushrooms, chopped broccoli, or bell peppers are all great options to serve with either a sweet or savory breakfast bake.
