Three Cheese Hashbrown Casserole

I'm flat-out stealing this recipe from Lisa Marshall, but any real chef knows goodness when she sees it. And this paleo, gluten-free recipe will blow your mind. What an amazing way to start the day! I plan on making a huge batch on Sunday morning and saving leftovers for the crew on the way out the door. There isn't much that could be better than this breakfast in hand to help you face the day.

Three Cheese Hashbrown Casserole

6 slices bacon

1/4 lb bulk pork sausage

2 cups shredded rutabaga

4 eggs

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

3/4 cup ricotta cheese

Bake or pan fry bacon. Drain and crumble. Brown the sausage in a small skillet. While those are cooking, place shredded rutabaga in a microwavable bowl with 2 tbsp water. Cook on high power in the microwave for 2 minutes. Drain and cool.

In a large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in the crumbled bacon, browned sausage, all the cheeses and the shredded rutabaga.

Coat an 8 inch square casserole dish with bacon grease. Pour in the casserole mixture and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting into 6 servings.

Recipe can be doubled or tripled.
