I have to push myself to come up with different ways to turn eggs into low carb breakfasts. As much as I like eggs, I can get tired of them real quick.

Breakfast cesseroles are my favorite type of breakfast to cook. I love that they will last me at least three breakfasts.

This low carb casserole reheats well for at least 3 days. It has all the things a good breakfast casserole should have. Lots of spicy ground sausge and cheese plus mushrooms and caramelized onions. There’s lots of different flavors in every bite. Caramelized onions take a little time and patience to make but they are divine and they really stand out in this casserole.

Tips for making Spicy Sausage and Caramleized Onion Breakfast Casserole:

  • To save time, cook the onions a day in advance.
  • Use regular ground sausage and make this casserole non-spicy.
  • Change out the Colby Jack cheese for cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese for a different flavor.
  • Be sure to keep the heat low while cooking the onions or they will burn.
