Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole – AIP by Season

February 23, 2019 / 15 Comments

This AIP Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole wins hands-down, maybe even over soups, my other favorite autoimmune protocol compliant breaky.

This casserole by Meagen Ashley of It’s All About AIP is the answer to the question I hear often in support groups and from clients, “Well what do you eat for breakfast on the AIP if you can’t have eggs or cereal?”

Full of phytonutrients from sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms. Bountiful in protein from bacon and a super-easy homemade sausage crumble.

With the added gut healing benefit of bone broth. This mamma jamma really wins the satisfying breakfast challenge, hands down.

Plus you can make it in advance then bake it the next day.

It’s flippin’ genius, because we all need time saving help when we be cookin’ almost err’day.

Personally, I decided to split it up into two casseroles. I baked one immediately then tightly covered the second one and froze it for future use. Batch-cookin-what-whaaat??

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 7 ounces white mushrooms sliced
  • 10 Brussels sprouts quartered
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup of pork or beef bone broth

Instructions

For the Bacon:

  • Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy.
  • Remove bacon from pan. Cool, then cover and store in fridge.
  • Reserve bacon grease in the pan for later.

For the Sausage

  • Heat medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and spices.
  • Crumble and brown until no longer pink.

For the Casserole:

  • Grease 9 x 13 baking dish with a little oil.
  • Heat the large skillet with reserved bacon grease over medium heat.
  • Add shredded potatoes, thyme and garlic powder. Sauté 5-6 minutes until softened but not crispy.
  • Pour potatoes into prepared dish. Add cooked Sausage and mix together.
  • Return large skillet to medium heat and add 1 Tablespoon oil.
  • Add mushrooms, sprouts, and onion, then season with sage and salt. Cook 5- 7 minutes until softened.
  • Add veggies to the baking dish and stir to mix. Cool, then cover and store in fridge overnight.
  • Preheat oven 350 F.
  • Remove casserole and bacon from fridge and uncover.
  • Pour broth evenly over top of casserole (this will help keep it moist).
  • Chop cooked bacon and sprinkle over top of casserole.
  • Bake 40-45 minutes until hot and bubbling. Cool 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

Special Equipment: Food processor -or- Grater
Alternatively, you can cook the casserole immediately, allow it to cool and store it in the fridge overnight. Then in the morning you can just reheat individual pieces. (I baked the warm/unchilled casserole for 35 minutes and it was heated through and sizzling, but I still wanted it to have more browning on top so it ended up baking for 40 minutes total.)
