Picking Your Ingredients for Making this Keto Breakfast Sausage, Egg and Cheese Casserole.
Start by picking the best, cancer-kicking ingredients. By choosing quality food and ingredients, you can ensure you are doing what you can by putting only the best in the bodies of your family.
Natural Sausage: Brown the sausage in a large, shallow skillet. I like to use natural sausage that doesn’t contain nitrates or nitrites. It’s important to me to keep any foods known to be a carcinogen out of my kitchen, and this is one of them. Owens or Jimmy Dean both have “natural” brands of sausage. Search for those at your local store.
Cheese: Feel free to mix up the type of cheese you use for the topping. I like Tillamook Medium Cheddar. I like the ingredients Tillamook uses and the way they make their cheeses. Tillamook uses rBST-free milk and they naturally age their cheeses. But, feel free to use pepper-jack, mexican blend, monterey jack, or a mixture of whatever is in your fridge.
Green Chiles: I always have cans of diced green chiles in my pantry. They instantly spruce up any dish and give it a mild flavor even the kids will eat. For this dish, I’ve used canned diced green chiles or green chile salsa. Whatever you hand on hand will work.
Eggs: I always keep organic, grass-fed eggs on hand at home. I love eggs that have that rich, deep orange yolk, as I always see when dining in Europe. My favorite brand is Happy Egg.
Prepping for Your Yummy, Easy, Keto Breakfast Casserole
There isn’t a lot of prep needed for this dish.
Start by prepping all your ingredients. Remove the cream cheese from the fridge to come to room temp as quickly as possible.
Grease your 9×13 casserole dish with whatever you like to use. (Butter, olive oil, oil spray). Just make sure it’s a quality ingredient 🙂
As your cook your sausage, prep the remaining ingredients (eggs, milk, salt, pepper, shredded cheese).
That’s really it! Now enjoy this delicious keto-friendly, yummy breakfast all week long.
