Cheesy Sausage, Potato & Egg Breakfast Burritos
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.

Looks fantastic!! I envy your family haha 🙂
Thanks I think the food is the only reason the grandkids like to come over. 😂
Ah but it’s all home-made, so, a chicken-and-egg! 😉
Never mind the grandkids, if it was not for covid and an ocean, I would be buying the house next door haha
These look great though I may leave out the hash browns. These would be perfect to bring along on a camping trip. You always make me hungry! Thanks! 🙂
My husband said the same thing about the hash browns but I figured if he didn’t like them that would be more for me. Nope he had no trouble devouring them. 😂 Thank you Betty and you are very welcome. ❤️
Yummy! I definitely want to make this. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Chantel.
Yum
Thank you Marty.
Dianne, this is a wonderful recipe. Did you make all of those burritos? You must’ve been very busy.
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! 💕
Yummy, breakfast in just one bite! I will ask my husband to make it, and then I will take care of the folding and freezing 😄.
How funny! I would have loved if my husband had cooked everything because I enjoy folding and freezing too. My husband actually taught me how to fold them a long time ago.
These look delicious! My family loves a hearty breakfast burrito!
These are my favorite burrito Dorothy. I have to get busy and make more because I just ate the last one today. We all devoured them almost daily. Thank you 💕
Looks like another keeper from you, Diane. Thanks!
You’re welcome Janet. Have a great week! ❤️
Recipe and end result look easy enough and delicious. Can’t wait to try it! Thank you!!
Thank you so much and you’re very welcome.
Nice tutorial. Burritos are great for travel.
Thank you! There are so many different ways to make them too.
I love it! Great idea to do if you have an extra freezer. Meal prep for future breakfast. Efficient and healthy!
Thanks!
That’s a great idea Diane
Thank you Sheree!
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!
Thank you Michelle. We devour these and there are only about 6 left!
Great idea! I feel we need more breakfast options lol
Thanks! I love food that goes from the freezer to the plate in 2 minutes.
This is also a great way to make breakfast on camping trips. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely! Great idea and thank you so much. ❤️
How did I miss this post? I love breakfast burritos! This looks fabulous! Thanks Diane, it would be awesome to have some frozen for the grandkids. Can’t wait to try this one out. 💕C
I just finished the last one today. Once our side of beef gets here in November I want to make hot shredded chicken, ground beef with taco seasoning etc. I want a big variety I love these for lunch. Thank you!
I could eat burritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Egg, cheese, meats, beans, rice ~ what’s not to like! C
Grab -n-go and easy in the morning … sounds good to me!
Than you Linda. We have been eating these non stop. I finished the last one for lunch. 😩
Thank you! 💕
Yep, I would totally eat that! 🙂 And it’s so nice of you to give detailed instructions for refrigerating, freezing, reheating, etc. You’re good at covering all the bases!
Once I fill my freezer up with a side of beef in November, I want to make a huge variety of multiple kinds of burritos. They are the quickest meal ever and they are fun to make. Thanks!
Wow. Do you basically order a half a cow from somewhere?
Yes a friend of ours has a farm and his meat is all organic and SO much cheaper than buying it from the store. It is one price per pound for the entire side. Usually under $2.00 a pound but then he takes the cow to the butcher and we pay them to process it. They also make the ground beef, patties, wrap it and freeze it.
That sounds truly awesome, Diane. Does it taste so much better than store-bought too?
No comparison to the store bought meat but it is because he uses no hormones or other stuff on the cows. It is the best tasting meat I have had. Last year he couldn’t get his cows butchered because the government limited the amount of cows that the butcher could process. He took the cows in and they turned him away. None of us were able to get meat and he had to sell them at an auction. He lost a ton of money and we have spent a fortune on meat from the grocery store that doesn’t even come close to his. I felt so bad for him.
That is really sad. And why on earth would the government limit the number of cows that could be butchered? What dumb rationale did it have for that?
Too many people working in a small room that could contaminate the meat (or so they thought last June 2020) is all I could think of. I have a feeling the price is going to be up this year since he didn’t make much last year.
Ugh. All around cruddy situation there. :/ So sorry.
Don’t be we made do.
Hope the farmers did okay still too. 🙂
What a great idea for busy mornings! Thanks for sharing this, Diane.
You’re welcome, there are so many different fillings you can add for variety.
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.
That’s a great idea but you will probably have to keep doing it! Lol They are so good and such an easy meal and my husband and I ate them more than the grandkids. Keep a few for yourself, they are addicting.
Good to know, Diane. 😂😂
Such a great idea. We cook/freeze bacon and sausage for quick access but I never thought about doing these breakfast burritos. Thanks Diane !
Cooked and frozen bacon is the best, I always have a bag of it in the freezer. I never froze cooked sausage, good idea! Thank you 💕
So clever but so simple. Yum
Thank you so much Barb!
