In December when I talked on instagram about making my Sausage and Cheddar Breakfast Casserole every year for Christmas morning I received so many messages asking if you can omit the bread or if there was a low carb version. So I set out to create a low carb breakfast casserole with all the classic flavors of the original.
This Low Carb Sausage Cheddar Breakfast Casserole doesn’t have bread or potatoes in it. Yet its every bit as satisfying and delicious as you’d hope. The ingredient list is simple and you know I’ve included plenty of dried herbs and seasonings to maximize flavor. I just know you’ll love it.
Low Carb Sausage Cheddar Breakfast Casserole Ingredients
- Ground turkey, beef, chicken, or pork
- Eggs
- Milk
- Cheddar cheese
- Seasonings
How to Make Low Carb Sausage Cheddar Breakfast Casserole
To make this recipe you’ll first brown and season your ground meat. While that’s cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a few seasonings. Spread the finished ground meat in the bottom of a baking dish. Top with the cheese and egg mixture. Bake! It’s so simple and so good!
What size baking dish should you use?
You’ll want to use a 9 x 13 baking dish for this recipe.
Can you prep this ahead of time?
Yes! Cook the ground meat, assemble the casserole, refrigerate it covered overnight, and pop it in the oven (with no cover) in the morning. It comes out perfectly!
Can you use a different cheese?
I love cheddar in this breakfast casserole but shredded mozzarella would also be a great choice.
How to serve this
I love this savory entree with fresh fruit or a simple salad. If you’re wanting to do potatoes I recommend my Easy Diced Air Fryer Potatoes, Easy Seasoned Roasted Potatoes, or Skillet Breakfast Potatoes.
