Description

This Sweet Potato and Sausage Casserole is a cozy, savory bake layered with caramelized sweet potatoes, spicy sausage, melted cheese, and crisp green onions. It’s perfect for brunch, dinner, or make-ahead meal prep with bold flavor and satisfying texture in every bite.

Ingredients

3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 pound ground sausage

1 cup bell peppers, diced

½ cup green onions, chopped

1 ½ cups shredded cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

2. In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine roasted sweet potatoes, cooked sausage, bell peppers, and half the green onions. Gently toss.

4. Transfer mixture to a greased 9×13″ baking dish. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top.

5. Lower oven temperature to 375°F. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Garnish with remaining green onions and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes.

Make it vegetarian by swapping sausage for mushrooms or a meat-free substitute.

Add 4-6 whisked eggs to make this a breakfast casserole option.
