Usually on the weekend, we like to make a big breakfast, but if we’re in a hurry, we just make a casserole instead. This Sausage & Veggie Breakfast Casserole is particularly good because it’s low carb! You can change out the veggies in this one to suit whatever you have available in your fridge.

Instructions :

These are the ingredients that I used for this particular casserole. The eggs are not pictured here, but I used a dozen of those. I love keeping the pepper & onion mix available in my freezer because it’s much quicker than having to cut up these veggies. Other ingredients were a tomato, two types of cheese, butter, mushrooms, zucchini and beef smoked sausage.

The first thing I did was slice up my sausage.

Next up, dice up about 4-5 mushrooms. Afterwards, I diced up my zucchini. Another veggie you could use here is a yellow squash. Last veggie to dice up is our tomato. Yum!

Add all of those diced up ingredients to a baking dish.

Then you’ll add 2 cups of your frozen pepper & onion blend.

After you add the blend, scoop out 1.5 cups of the cottage cheese, and add that plus one whole stick of butter sliced.

Next up is our eggs. I used a baker’s dozen (13) and cracked them into a mixing bowl. Then I whisked them up into a frothy yumminess! I added that to my baking dish along with my seasonings and mixed it all together.

After everything was mixed thoroughly, I topped it with the shredded cheese. Then I mixed all that cheese in, also. I just didn’t want it to burn on top.
