Savory Breakfast Casserole

I try not to consume eggs regularly. They make me bloat. But that's because my body is an asshole and is incredibly sensitive. You wouldn't think my body would be like most of the guys I've dated. Kidding. I don't date assholes. Nor do I really date. I like food more than dating. Food doesn't have emotions. Nor do I. Therefore, we get alone well. Anyways, have any of you dealt with this issue? With the eggs, not the dudes? Not sure? Look down. Are you bloated? Can you see your goods? Did you consume eggs this morning? That's how I figured it out. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Now that we've talked about my digestive issues, let's chat about the actual meal. I decided to make this because I really never make breakfast that is worthy of blogging about. I almost always eat leftovers for breakfast so that means I'm usually consuming some kind of random reheated meat and a butt load of fat. So I thought it would be nice to make some breakfast for my roommate (the Laursters) because she's so awesome. Who doesn't love cooking for friends? Assholes, that's who. I fall under the category far too often. Damn.

What you need:
  • 12 eggs, whisked 
  • 1lb chorizo, cooked and broken into pieces
  • 1 sweet potato, shredded
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (I used Siracha)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

What you do:
  1. Start things off right by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. First you'll want to get your chorizo (or other choice of meat) cooking. So add your chorizo to a hot skillet and let cook until it begins to crumble. 
  3. While the meat is cooking, dice up your onion and shred your sweet potato. I shredded mine by throwing it in a food processor, using the shredding attachment. Genius. 
  4. Now, beat those eggs of yours in a large bowl.
  5. Add the cooked meat, onion, and sweet potato to the bowl with the whisked eggs. Then add the rest of your ingredients and mix all together.
  6. Grease a 8x8 or 9x9 glass dish and add your egg mixture to it.
  7. Cook for 25-30 minutes until the eggs aren't runny. The middle takes a bit longer so just be patient.
  8. Let sit for 10+ minutes before consuming.
  9. Then consume.

  1. I love choirzo and for breakfast. Have you tried it before with carrots and red peppers? It's like they're made for each other.

  2. I do have that same problem . . . with dudes, not with eggs. I'm convinced that boyfriends sabotage healthy diet and exercise routines with their stupid insecurities because they're afraid you'll leave them for Dorian Yates. "You don't need to go to the gym, stay here and have a beer with me instead." And next thing you know, you're walking around in his sweatpants because your jeans don't fit you.
