It has been a crazy couple of weeks around our household. The Crossfit open, hosting a baby shower, evaluations and interviews at work, the list goes on…Lets just say I’m so glad my husband came up with this Easy Paleo Breakfast Casserole. That’s right, no shame here, my husband created this recipe. He has been making it for us for about a month now and we are loving it! Not only does it taste fantastic, but it is very convient to keep in the freezer and pull out for a quick breakfast in the morning before leaving for work.

This is one of those recipes you can tweak in many different ways. Try bacon vs. sausage, white potatoes vs. sweet potatoes, add green chilies for an extra kick, you get the idea. After a few trails this is our favorite way to make it.
Easy Paleo Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked sweet potato (I bake them for about 45 mins at 400 degrees, remove the skin and measure)
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1lb Italian sausage (mild or hot)
- 2 handfuls of spinich
- 1 3.8oz can sliced olives
- 10 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Brown sausage and drain fat. Set aside on a paper towel.
- Cook onions and bell peppers in a large dutch oven skillet until soft.
- Add mushrooms and cook until tender.
- Combine all remaining ingredients (including the cooked sausage) except for the eggs.
- Season with sea salt and pepper and mix well.
- Beat eggs in separate bowl and then pour into skillet.
- Using a fork, gently mix eggs into the mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until eggs are cooked.
- Then set your oven to broil, and brown the top of your casserole. This should only take about 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool 1-2 hours before slicing. Enjoy!
Tips:1. This will be very greasy if you don’t drain the sausage well after cooking.
2. If needed, place the casserole on a tilted cookie sheet and allow grease to drain before slicing.
3. This also works well cooked in a casserole pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal. (like pic —>)
4. You can slice and wrap individually in plastic wrap for freezing for future use. Take out of the freezer and place in fridge the night before use.
5. The picture to the right is a double batch cooked in a large casserole dish and sliced into 10 servings. (27g carbs, 21g protein, 9g fat per serving)

Cool 1-2 hours??
What size can of olives?
Thanks!
Hi Brandee! I used a small, 3.8oz can. I updated the recipe to include the size. Thanks!
Back to the sweet potatoes……. after baking did you cube, slice, mash, etc? Thanks.
Yes, please expand on what you did with the sweet potatoes. The recipe is not clear if they are supposed to be mashed or cut.
Hi Kellie,
I updated the recipe. I bake mine until very soft throughout, and simple remove skin and dump them in the recipe. Once you stir in all the ingredients it evenly distributes the potato. So I’m not exactly sure I would call them mashed or cut? Hope this helps!
Is there a brand of Italian sausage you use? I am not sure if what my grocery store carries is clean.
You can use aidell’s chicken sausage! It’s a great brand.
Can you expand on how you prepared the sweet potato please? Did you peel/cube the sweet potato before cooking? Is it the insides of a baked sweet potato?
Hi Lisa, the sweet potatoes are baked and then the skin peeled off.
What can I do if I don’t own a dutch oven pan?
Hi Candy, the reason I suggest a dutch oven pan for this recipe is because you can easily cook it all on the stove and then throw in right in the oven. You can also cook this dish in a stovetop pan and then transfer to a deep casserole dish to bake. Both ways work great.
