This breakfast casserole recipe has become a staple in our household! It's so easy, versitile and nourishing. If you're sick of having the same thing for breakfast everyday, give this a try (it's fun to mix it up)!
When I first started the carnivore diet, it really helped me to switch up my recipes and cooking methods to help with food cravings and meat aversions. Now I'm eating more of an "animal-based" diet but still use this recipe often. I hope you enjoy this simple casserole as much as I do!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this recipe be reheated or frozen?
Yes, this recipe works really well for leftovers! Sometimes I even enjoy the leftovers more than eating it right out of the oven. I'd recommend reheating in an air fryer at around 350 degrees until warm all the way through.
You should be able to freeze them! I personally have never done this, as we typically eat the leftovers pretty quickly. It should keep well for 3-4 days in the fridge.
Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
Yes! I've often prepared this the night before cooking. Just follow all the instructions, then put your baking dish in the fridge overnight. Throw it into the oven in the morning and you've got yourself an easy breakfast!
Is it possible to make this recipe dairy free?
Yes! Just omit the heavy cream and cheese. I'd recommend adding in some extra tallow or lard when cooking your ground meat to up the fat content and enhance flavor.
Where can I source high quality ground meat and bacon?
If you can't find a good local source, these are some great regenerative farms that ship their meats right to your doorstep:
White Oak Pastures (code: RIBEYERACH)
Northstar Bison (code: RIBEYERACH)
REP Provisions (code: RIBEYERACH15)
Apsey Farms (code: RIBEYERACH)
Apsey Farms, REP Provisions, and Northstar Bison all have corn & soy free bacon available, which many that are sensitive to pork do really well with.
Can I leave the bacon out?
Yes, of course. This recipe is very versitile. As long as you have the eggs, ground meat, animal fat (such as tallow), and salt you will have a nice casserole!
Can I add spices or seasonings to my casserole?
Definitely! This recipe is very adaptable whether you're doing a strict carnivore diet or more of a "ketovore" or "animal-based" diet. It can be enjoyed any way you like. I'd recommend using pepper, garlic, paprika, and onion if you choose to add spices.
