The Best Paleo Breakfast Casserole

All right, you guys. Your number one request when it comes to blog posts are always healthy, easy recipes. The only thing hard about this Paleo breakfast casserole is chopping up the ingredients. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy, like Charlotte says. ;) Ask, and you shall receive.

About a year after Charlotte was born, I started the whole Paleo kick, as most of you know, and you can read more about that here. I’ve been off and on for years, and I know my basics (it’s just my want-to that always throws me off, but that’s a story for a different day).

EASY PALEO BREAKFAST BAKE

Let’s talk about a yummy breakfast casserole that you can enjoy without any guilt and be set for the entire week! Reasons to love this casserole?

Full of all the yummy good stuff to fill you up, you can add or delete some ingredients to accommodate what you have in your fridge.
You can even Sunday prep it and set yourself up for success.
It’s super versatile. You can add different meats (like bacon crumbles) into the mix instead of the uncured, all beef hot dog. Or you can swap out the sweet potatoes for mushrooms.

INGREDIENTS

Paleo/Whole30-compliant hot dog links, sliced (I use the Applegate all natural beef hotdog)
3 cups cubed & peeled sweet potato
olive oil, as needed
6 green onions, sliced
1 can Rotel, mild, drained
1 tablespoon chopped basil (or 2 teaspoons dried basil; what I use)
fresh bundle of spinach
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
10 eggs

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix the veggies, drained Rotel, and seasoning in a bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk well. Set aside.
Over medium heat in a large skillet, brown the sliced hot dogs. Smash them up as if you’re trying to make it into crumbled sausage. Add olive oil if necessary.
Add sweet potatoes, vegetables, herbs, and salt and cook about 7-10 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture into a 9×13″ pan.
Pour the eggs over sausage-vegetable mixture and bake 25-30 minutes or until a knife, inserted in the center, comes out clean. (Do NOT over bake.)
