Whether you’re planning a weekend brunch or just received a last-minute invitation to one, a quick and easy 5-ingredient breakfast casserole is a great choice. With smart use of breakfast meats like pork sausage, combinations of cheeses including Cheddar, cream cheese, and cottage cheese; veggies like broccoli, potatoes, and zucchini; and the tasty crunch of breadcrumbs, these recipes come together in a snap, on a budget, and are ready to star on the brunch table.

Here are six 5-ingredient casseroles that are tasty, quick, and easy on the budget.

My Dad's 5-Ingredient Broccoli Casserole

Great for vegetarians and delicious for everyone, this creamy, cheesy, and crunchy casserole gets a boost from buttery breadcrumbs. A pinch of nutmeg may be optional, but Dad swears by it.

Sweet Potato and Apple Sausage Casserole

More like a hash then a traditional creamy casserole, this combination of apple sausage, sweet potato, and green apples brings sweet and savory together in just four ingredients (including honey mustard). Sweet Italian sausage is a great substitute.

Vegetarian Hash Brown Casserole

Take a classic casserole—made easy with a bag of frozen hash browns—and give it a bright brunch flavor with pico de gallo. This is also a great casserole to make ahead.

Vegetarian Potato and Squash Casserole

When four of the five ingredients are hearty vegetables, you know you’ve got a winning brunch combination. Feel free to substitute zucchini for either the squash or potatoes, based on your preference.

Broccoli Noodles and Cheese Casserole

Need a last-minute brunch dish? In 30 minutes, you’ve got a casserole with two cheeses to make it nice and bubbly. Want to add a protein? Add some chicken!

Simple Sausage Casserole

This 3-ingredient casserole with big breakfast flavor from sausage and cream cheese is made even easier by store-bought crescent roll dough; it can even be baked the night before. Cut and reheat portions and serve on a favorite platter for brunch.
