HEALTHY EGG & SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Healthy Egg & Sausage Casserole

This Healthy Egg & Sausage Casserole is dairy-free and super convenient for busy mornings! Just reheat in the microwave for a minute or two and you’ve got a hot breakfast of savory sausage, fluffy eggs, sweet potato, and whatever veggies you like (I went with peppers and onion). You might also like my Bacon Spinach & Potato Egg Casserole!

Did you know? One study showed a breakfast of eggs kept participants fuller and helped them eat less for the next 36 hours compared to a bagel breakfast with the same number of calories! (source) Eggs are definitely a satisfying and nutritious breakfast choice.

Choosing the best eggs

I always choose “organic” or “free range” eggs. “Organic” means the hens have access to the outdoors, cannot be kept in cages, and must be given organic, non-GMO feed. “Free range” requires the chickens to have free access to the outdoors, but places no restrictions on antibiotic use or the quality of feed. “Cage free” doesn’t mean the hens are allowed outside to forage, it just means the can move around freely within the barn or shed.

Casserole add ins

For this recipe, you’ll also need lean turkey sausage, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, onion, unsweetened cashew milk, seasoning salt, and garlic powder. All of this gets sautéed together in a skillet until the sausage is lightly browned and the onion is caramelized. Yum!

Recipe substitutions

I used Jones brand breakfast turkey sausage links, but you could also use Applegate chicken breakfast sausage, or another lower fat brand. You could even use natural turkey bacon or ham!
Feel free to swap out the sweet potato for regular potatoes, or the bell pepper for mushrooms, spinach, or another veggie of choice.

Feel free to add a cup of cheese on top before baking – I used dairy free VioLife cheddar shreds but you can use any cheese you like!

Bored of the same old meal prep chicken? This Peachy Jalapeno Grilled Chicken has so much flavor between the sweet peaches and kick of jalapeño. It’s a longstanding favorite at our house. We love it for grilling, meal prep, or a delicious weeknight dinner! It’s not what most would consider “spicy,” but if you really can’t stand the heat, omit the jalapeño for a delicious peach glaze! This recipe is also gluten-free and dairy-free (yay).
