Rule #222: Kids need to earn their keep.
We force manual labor on our kids. Brooke has to mow the lawn with her law mower bubble machine. (She always misses a spot.) And now I’ve got Corey on KP Duty cooking this Low Carb Breakfast Casserole. Kids these days need to pull their own weight now that we’re all sequestered at home, am I right?
This cheesy, savory, heart-warming and low carb breakfast casserole will help get you through these loooooong days at home! The kids can even help in the cooking process, too! The other bonus is that most of these items are still available in grocery stores. You may have to sub regular pork breakfast sausage for turkey sausage or a different kind of riced cauliflower, but we can all be flexible, right?
We found this turkey sausage at our grocery store, and it was great! Like I said, regular pork breakfast sausage would be great, too. I think a ground Italian turkey sausage would work as well.
First, we just brown up the sausage a bit, breaking it into smaller pieces.
Normally I liked to use the fresh, refrigerated riced cauliflower, but our grocery store was out. They had this frozen riced cauliflower, and it worked just fine! It acts as a great filler for the casserole. Feel free to sub hash brown potatoes if you’d like!
Now, force your child or other indentured laborer to stir some diced yellow onion and cauliflower in with the browned sausage.
Sauté for a few minutes until softened (about 8 minutes).
Whisk together a dozen eggs and some milk.
Throw in some cheese (half a bag each of shredded cheddar and mozzarella).
Layer the mixture out onto a greased 8×13″ pan.
Pour the egg mixture over top and give it a gentle stir.
Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until set!
Hello, you golden-brown, low-carb lover, you!
Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving, and garnish with green onions.
Shpoon ‘er up, y’all!
This casserole makes 8 good sized servings coming in under 330 calories and only 6g net carbs each. It also freezes like a charm!
So, get those kids to work, y’all!
