One of the things that I love most about this keto egg and sausage casserole is the short ingredients list.

Even though this easy keto breakfast recipe isn’t full of fancy ingredients, it doesn’t lack in flavor.

In fact, it’s so yummy that my husband begs me to make this recipe!

Now, don’t be scared by the hot sauce!

This dish definitely isn’t what I would call spicy or hot in the least.

The hot sauce just adds a little touch of flavor to the casserole. It’s the secret ingredient, shhh…!

As I mentioned, this keto breakfast casserole also makes a great low carb dinner as well.

In fact, we usually have this for dinner.

My husband and I are watching our carb intake, but I typically throw a pan of crescent rolls in the oven for the kids to make them happy.

Biscuits or even toast would go great with this if you’re not following a keto lifestyle.

  1. Just remember that it’s very difficult to find sugar free sausage, Applegate makes some but they’re salty. So if you’re strict keto maybe substitute sausage with sugar free bacon, a little easier to find 

  2. That looks good! I’d definitely doctor the meat up with some seasonings, onions and pell peppers.

  3. I would like freezing instructions.

  4. Can this be made in the crockpot? If so, possible directions?!? Thanks! 

  5. How many net carbs? How do measure the serving size 

  6. Ok. I’m excited because I am getting ready to make this. And a BUNCH of it. Only, I’m doing 3 versions and baking them in muffin tins for an easy grab and go option through the week and my crazy school schedule. I am doing a version with RO*TEL tomatoes and green chilies, a version with spinach, onion and peppers and a version with broccoli and cheese. Crossing my fingers that this comes out ok from the muffin tins! Lol 

  7. Can you substitute half the eggs for egg whites?

  8. Such an awesome recipe. It was easy and fast to make. I’ll definitely be making this as a weekend breakfast for my family. Any ideas for keto friendly bagels or biscuits?

  9. Does this need to be covered before cooking?

  10. This looks so good. Could I use whole milk instead of whipping cream?

  11. I add two 4 oz cans of green chili’s. Yummy!!

  12. Yummy.  I added some mascarpone and chopped green Chile’s.  Serve with salsa and a green salad and be keto friendly.

  13. This is such a great breakfast casserole. I make it then separate and freeze pieces separately. Let thaw and it’s amazing!!!! I add bacon and sausage, sweet peppers, spinach, and do good!!! Gonna make it again this weekend.

  14. Can this be frozen?
