What You Need for Sweet Potato Hash Breakfast Casserole
We love how easy it is to throw this breakfast casserole. No fancy ingredients, either! You’ll need:
Veggies including grated sweet potato, chopped onion and bell pepper, and garlic. Chopped and cooked bacon for extra flavor and protein. A dozen eggs mixed with almond milk and spices like mustard powder, paprika, salt, and hot sauce. A sprinkle of shredded gouda cheese because it’s not a breakfast casserole without it!
Sweet Potato Hash Breakfast Casserole Variations
Of all of our recipes on Fit Foodie, breakfast casseroles and anything involving baked eggs are some of our most customizable. Use this recipe as a starting point and put your own spin on it! Here are a few ways to mix it up: Veggies: Use your favorite veggies (and a great way to use up any leftover cooked veggies). Anything goes – try spinach, broccoli, carrots instead of sweet potatoes, jalapeño peppers, and more! Bacon: Instead of chopped, cooked bacon, use shredded chicken or turkey or omit it completely for a vegetarian breakfast casserole. Milk: Replace the unsweetened almond milk with regular milk or any kind of unsweetened non-dairy milk. Cheese: Use any kind of shredded cheese to top this sweet potato hash breakfast casserole. Shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or a combination of a couple different kinds would be delicious. Dairy Free: For dairy free breakfast casserole, use non-dairy milk and omit the cheese (or replace it with a dairy free alternative).
