Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
  • 4 fully-cooked chicken sausages about 12 ounces, cut into circles
  • 1 medium white or yellow onion diced
  • 12 large eggs
  • ¾ cup salsa
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2½ ounces baby spinach
  • 10 ounces riced sweet potato I use a bag of frozen riced sweet potato. You can use shredded sweet potato or shredded hash brown potatoes. Thawed works too.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add oil to skillet on medium high heat. Add diced onion and chicken sausage. Sauté until onion is tender and sausage has some browning.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil or an oil spray. This is important so that your potatoes don't stick. 
  • Spread your potato in the bottom of your greased baking dish. (Mine is still frozen when I do this but I break it up so that it spreads evenly.) Top with fresh baby spinach and your sautéed onion and chicken sausage.
  • Whisk eggs, salsa, salt, and pepper together until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over everything in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until egg mixture is set in the center. (45 minutes is the perfect baking time for my oven.) Let casserole sit for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

My favorite sausage is Applegate Chicken Apple Sausage. My husband loves Applegate Andouille Chicken Sausage (it's spicy). I find them at our Whole Foods in the refrigerated section next to hot dogs and bacon. Both are delicious options! 
I find my riced sweet potato in the freezer section of the grocery store. The only ingredient is sweet potato. The brand I use is Boulder Canyon.
