Hey friends! Here today with a new breakfast recipe. I made this easy Whole30 breakfast casserole randomly on Sunday and I wasn't really planning for it to go up on the blog but it was too delicious not to share! This breakfast casserole is easy and perfect for meal prep. This recipe is paleo and Whole30 compliant and a great healthy option for the whole family.
I'm coming up on the finish line of my first Whole30 and I think I will definitely be incorporating more compliant meals like this one into my diet! When I started Whole30 one of the things I was worried about was missing out on my favorite foods. Especially cheese in dishes like this one. But to be honest, I have been eating so many delicious meals that I really haven't missed too much (besides wine). And adding avocado to my breakfasts gives me the healthy fats I crave instead of cheese. I mean, I won't say I'm never having cheese again ever but now I don't feel the need for it on a daily basis.

Whole30 Casserole Ingredients
Like most of my other recipes this one is really versatile. Super fancy and complicated recipes aren't really my thing. I like to make recipes that I can change up and just use whatever I have on hand. Here is what you need:
- Breakfast sausage - I like Pederson Farms or Mulay's. This recipe also works great with chorizo!
- Broccoli and green peppers and onion - or really whatever veggie you like
- Potato, shredded
- Eggs
- Some basic seasonings and spices
How To Prepare
This recipe is so easy to make. All you gotta do is cook your breakfast sausage and add it to the mixture of shredded potato, broccoli and chopped green pepper. Top the whole thing with your egg mixture and you have a delicious breakfast ready to go in about 25 minutes!
I've been liking breakfast with a little side of fruit lately. I've never been a fruit for breakfast kinda gal but these oranges were the perfect compliment to the casserole. Once it was all done it was easy to pop it into meal prep containers for grab and go breakfast for the week.

I thought no milks were allowed..I find this so confusing
Jen says
No dairy is allowed. Almond milk is made from almonds 🙂 so as long of the rest of the ingredients in the almond milk are compliant, it's A-OK.
Gabby says
Is there a substitute for the sausage?
Jen says
You could definitely use any other protein you prefer. Bacon, ground chicken, chorizo, or add more veggies and leave it out completely 🙂
Brianna Murphy says
Yea I’m confused I haven’t been able to find a sausage without sugar. The Pederson farms one I looked up had raw sugar as well
Jen says
Pederson's has a no sugar chorizo and a no sugar Italian sausage. Mulay's carries a no sugar chorizo and a no sugar breakfast sausage as well. If those aren't in your area then buying regular ground pork or beef and seasoning it how you like is always an option! 🙂

What size pan did you use? I couldn't find it listed.
Jen says
Mine is 9x11
Mary Ann says
I made this for Day 1 of January Whole30. It was really easy and delicious. I loved the broccoli in it the most. And great for leftovers.
Jen says
so glad you liked it!
Jen says
So happy to hear that!
Gabby says
If I want to sub egg whites for 6 of the whole eggs how would I do that? How much would I add?
Jen says
I would do about 3/4 cup to 1 cup egg white.
Esther says
I made this last week and it was very tasty. I was looking for something for breakfast that would have some real calories as I run 4-6 miles every morning. The potatoes and other veggies have really done the trick. I'm going to try it with some jalapeños to add some extra flavor.
