Spicy sausage egg and mushroom casserole


Ok so after that last casserole that I ate all week, well I felt a tweak was in order. This casserole should be more like a lasagna or quiche. This time I layered it instead of mixing all the ingredients together. I also added some UN pasteurized cheese from the cheese store (only a small amount for flavor) I picked 2 small chunks with bold flavor a smoked cheddar and Red Witch which is like a Gruyere. Supposedly the pasteurization process is what makes it hard for the body to process so i figured I can have this unpasteurized cheese in small doses on occasion. You can skip the cheese if you are being strict.

1 shredded purple sweet potato
1/2 shredded onion
3 sliced cooked sausages
1/2 c shredded unpasteurized cheese (optional)
3/4 package sliced mushrooms
large handful chopped cilantro
1/2 chopped jalapeno
14 large eggs beaten
with Siracha, salt and pepper to taste.
(I season most layers with salt and pepper, except the sausage layer)

Grease casserole dish with bacon fat or coconut oil.
Layer shredded potatoes, season, add onion shreds, cheese, sliced mushrooms, season, cilantro, jalapeno, pour egg mixture over and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes until set. 

De-lish!

Chili Relleno breakfast Casserole

I like to prep my meals for the week whenever I can, and this is perfect for a quick meal on the go. This is an inspired version of my grandma's famous John Wayne casserole that i have been craving.



12 eggs- beaten
1 sweet potato- shredded
2 cans of green chili's
 (I used 1 hot, 1 mild)
3-4 de-seeded diced tomatoes
1 small onion- shredded or chopped 
 (hello food processor was already dirty)
1-2 cups shredded Coconut gouda cheese 
(optional and probably a bitch to find but my cheese place had it)
1 package of Cooked bacon crumbled (sausage or ham would work too)
Hot sauce to taste (I used about 1/4 c siracha and beat in with eggs)
1/8-1/4 tsp ground cayenne
Salt and pepper to taste
( I salt and peppered the sweet potato and tomato separately too)

Mix all ingredients. Pour in a greased casserole dish. 

Bake uncovered at 350 for 40 minutes or until center is set.
