Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sausage Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a light greasing to a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure nothing sticks.
Step 2
In a large bowl, take your sweet potato cubes and toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 3
Make sure every cube is well coated; this will add a delightful flavor.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and pop them into the oven to roast for about 30 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 5
While those sweet potatoes are roasting to perfection, grab a large skillet and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Toss in the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking them for 2 to 3 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
Step 7
Add in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
Step 8
Once done, transfer this colorful mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
Step 9
In the same skillet, add the bulk sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
Step 10
Keep an eye on it for about 5 to 7 minutes until it’s fully cooked.
Step 11
Drain any excess fat, then mix the sausage into the bowl with the veggies.
Step 12
Stir in some fresh baby spinach, gooey mozzarella cheese, and fragrant minced rosemary for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 13
Now, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and the remaining kosher salt and black pepper until everything is well combined.
Step 14
Pour this creamy egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable blend, gently tossing to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated.
Step 15
Once your sweet potatoes are beautifully roasted, layer them at the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Step 16
Pour the hearty sausage and vegetable mixture over the sweet potatoes, spreading it out evenly to create a deliciously inviting casserole.
Step 17
Finally, slide the dish into the oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center.
Step 18
If you notice the top browning too much, don’t hesitate to cover it loosely with aluminum foil to keep it from getting too dark.
Step 19
Once it’s done, let it cool for a few moments before serving.
Step 20
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s perfect for any meal!.
