Sweet Potato Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients: 

• 2 medium, sweet potatoes,, cubed (or 1 1/2 large sweet potatoes)

• 1 red, bell pepper, diced

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 1 lb grass fed ground sausage

• 8 eggs

• ⅓ cup almond milk, or coconut milk

• 1 teaspoon thyme

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper 

Instructions:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sweet potatoes are almost tender. Add onion and red bell pepper, season with salt & black pepper, and cook until vegetables are tender (about 3 more minutes).

Transfer the vegetables to a casserole dish.

Add sausage to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until browned (about 5 minutes), crumbling the sausage with a spoon as it cooks. Transfer to the casserole dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and spices. Pour over the vegetables & sausage mixture in the casserole dish, and stir to combine. 

Bake the breakfast casserole covered with an aluminum foil in a 375 F preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top of the potatoes begins to brown. Remove and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve!
