How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 1 1/4 pound bag frozen sweet potato hash browns (or tater tots, Note 1)
- 1 pound turkey sausage
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 8 ounces shredded cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 brown onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon ground garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the frozen hash browns (or tater tots) evenly on the baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Step 2: Lower the oven heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
- Step 4: In the same cleaned frying pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the onions and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked sausage. Set aside.
- Step 5: Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Step 6: Assembly time! Grease the sides of 1 (8 in. x 8 in.) casserole pan(s). Scatter the hash browns or tater tots evenly along the bottom of the pan. Layer the sausage mix over the potatoes. Pour the egg blend. Scatter the cheese all over the top.
- Step 7: Cover the top of the casserole with foil and place it in the 375 degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 75 minutes. After 75 minutes, remove the foil and raise the temperature to 410 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook another 10 to 15 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
- Serve: Cool before serving. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Want to make your own sweet potato hash? You will need: 1.25 pounds peeled sweet potato + 2 tablespoons avocado oil + 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder + 1/2 teaspoon onion powder + 1/2 teaspoon salt + black pepper, to taste. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat. Grate the sweet potato through the large grates of a box grater or the grating disk on a food processor. Toss the shredded sweet potato with the remaining hash brown ingredients: oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly over the hot baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring after the first 10. They will be ready when they look crisp and are fork-tender. Note 2: Want to keep this paleo-friendly? Try using a cashew-based cheese sauce and drizzling it over the top of the casserole.
