Easy Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole

I have definitely been in a breakfast slump lately so this casserole recipe came my way at the perfect time. There isn't much I can eat for breakfast other than eggs so whenever I can find a way to spice that up I am game.  It's funny how I end up eating left-over veggies for breakfast along with the eggs and it is so delicious! I never thought I would eat vegetables for breakfast except maybe in an omelet.  This casserole makes all of that not seem so strange!  It is incredibly filling and I love waking up and already have breakfast ready and waiting. Mornings around here are so busy and I find myself running out without having eaten anything which is so bad! I have no excuses with this delicious casserole in my fridge.  It would also be a great addition to a brunch with friends or weekend company!

Ingredients:

• 2 tbs fat of choice (coconut oil, butter, ghee) melted
• 1 large sweet potato, diced
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 1/2 lbs breakfast sausage

• 2 cups chopped spinach
• 10 eggs, whisked
• 1/2 tsp salt
