Primal Breakfast Casserole

Submitted by KT Scarlet

"Taking the best from others and cutting out anything that's non-primal. When you can, make this with free-range, pasture-fed eggs, pork, cream, butter and cheese, and the veggies from your backyard garden or locally grown. You really don't need bread for a breakfast casserole - it's just a filler, and the texture/flavor is just as good when you refrigerate the mix overnight."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 12 eggs, from happy free-range chickens, with grass under their little scaly feet
• 1 lb pork sausage (watch ingredients!)

• 1 cup heavy cream

directions

1. Brown pork sausage over medium heat, drain (and save fat to cook with later that day!) and let cool a bit.
2. Scramble 12 eggs in a large bowl.
3. Chop onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, green onions, whatever you are in the mood for, and add it to the eggs.
4. Add cream.
5. Add 1-2 cups of shredded cheddar (shred it yourself and you won't be eating the potato starch they use to keep pre-shredded cheese from sticking. who cares if it sticks? It's cheese!).
6. Finally add the slightly cooled off cooked sausage.
7. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
8. Heat oven to 325.
9. Use butter to grease the 13x9 casserole dish and spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
