Description

Hot sausage, cauliflower rice, cheese, and eggs bring tons of flavor to this quick and easy, low-carb breakfast casserole.

Ingredients

1 serving cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package hot pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
1 (12 ounce) package frozen riced cauliflower
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 sweet onion, diced
12 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
2 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Reserve grease in the pan; place sausage into the prepared dish.
3 Cook and stir cauliflower rice in the bacon grease over medium heat, actively stirring, until most of the moisture has been removed, 3 to 4 minutes. Place cauliflower in the casserole dish; mix in bell pepper and onion.
4 Whisk eggs in a bowl with milk, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over ingredients in the casserole dish; do not mix.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Add remaining cheese on top and continue to bake until melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
