Cheesy Sausage, Potato & Egg Breakfast Burritos

54 Comments

Cheesy Breakfast Burritos are full of cheese, sausage, hash browns and scrambled eggs. They are perfect for a quick meal in the morning or anytime. I freeze mine then I heat them in the microwave right from the freezer.

In a large skillet over medium heat add the sausage and onion.

Cook until there is no pink remaining, drain

the fat then place on a plate and set aside.

Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and add the butter.

Add the frozen hash browns, salt and pepper to taste

then cook the hash browns until cooked through and

almost brown. Remove the pan from the heat before

they get crispy and place the hash browns

on a plate then set aside.

In a large bowl whisk the eggs and milk

together. Salt and pepper to taste.

Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel

and cook the eggs, don’t overcook them.

In a large bowl add the sausage,

hash browns, scrambled eggs and cheese.

Toss well with a large spoon.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the mixture and

place it on one tortilla about 1/3 of the way toward the

center. Shape it into an log shape but keep it

about 1 & 1/2” from both ends.

Roll the tortilla over and under the filling.

Fold over the edges toward the center of the tortilla.

(I only used the toothpicks so I could take the picture.)

Continue to roll placing the seam side down.

If you plan on eating these within the next day, wrap them in plastic wrap so they don’t dry out and refrigerate. To heat, remove the plastic wrap, cover the burrito with a paper towel and microwave on high for 20 seconds then turn over and microwave until hot.

If you are going to freeze them, wrap them in foil only then freeze them in freezer bags. To heat, remove the foil, cover with a paper towel and microwave frozen for 60 seconds. Turn it over and microwave for another 45 seconds or until hot.

  • 30 oz. frozen hash browns
  • 4 Tbsp. butter, more if needed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 40 six inch flour tortillas

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat cook the sausage and onion until no pink remains. Drain the fat, place the meat on a plate and set aside.
  2. Wipe out the skillet with paper towel and add the butter. Add the frozen hash browns, salt and pepper to taste and cook over medium heat until the hash browns are cooked through and almost brown, do not let them get crispy. Remove the skillet from the heat and place the hash browns on a plate and set aside.
  3. Wipe the skillet out with paper towel.
  4. In a large bowl whisk the eggs and milk together. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook them over medium heat, scraping the skillet with a rubber spatula to break up the eggs, then salt and pepper to taste. Do not overcook the eggs.
  5. In a large bowl combine the sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs and cheese and toss well with a large spoon.
  6. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the mixture and place it on one tortilla about a third of the way from the bottom. Form it into a log making sure you keep it about 1-1/2″ from both ends.
  7. Roll the tortilla once around the mixture tucking it under the mixture.
  8. Fold the sides over the top and toward the center of the tortilla then continue to roll placing the burrito seam side down.

To eat within a day: Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap so they don’t dry out. When ready to eat, place 1-2 burritos on a plate and cover with a paper towel. Microwave on high for 20 seconds then turn over and continue to cook until hot, this won’t take long.

If you are going to freeze them: Wrap them only with foil then place them into a freezer bag. 

To cook while frozen: Remove the foil and place 1-2 burritos on a plate. Cover with a paper towel and cook on high for 1 minute. Turn the burrito over and continue to cook for 45 seconds or until hot then serve.

    • Yes I did. I actually had to leave the house so I cooked everything, mixed it together and put the bowl in the refrigerator. When I got home I wrapped them and froze them. Next up will be hot sauce with shredded chicken, taco ground beef and whatever else sounds good at the time. They are fun to make. Thank you so much Bernadette! 💕

  13. These sound so good! And easy, too. I usually make a bunch of these to freeze, but I only put sausage, eggs, cheese, and green peppers in mine. Adding hash browns and onions sounds good, too!

  21. What a great way for parents to feed their kids on busy school mornings. I should make a batch of these to give to my son and DIL for the kids breakfast.
