Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole

This sweet potato breakfast casserole is chock-full of vegetables, Italian sausage, cheese, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. Healthy, satisfying and delicious meals from breakfast to dinner.

Why I Really Love This Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole:

One of the things I love about casserole recipes is that they pack everything you need for a complete meal into one dish. After a little prep work, pop it in the oven and you’re done until it’s time to eat! This sweet potato breakfast casserole is no exception. Chopping veggies and cooking sweet potatoes and sausage takes a little time, but it’s still one of the easiest dinners I make. Because this particular casserole appears on the dinner table far more often than it does on the breakfast table!

A touch of sweetness from the sweet potato perfectly balances the spicy sausage. You can use regular potatoes, but trust me here. Sweet potatoes are the way to go. However, this is a very forgiving recipe, so feel free to switch up your favorite proteins and veggies.Or add fresh herbs and enjoy the flavor!

Easy, delicious, healthy, filling… you know why we love them?
