Creamy Sausage & Potato Casserole (whole30, paleo + gf)
From: Bailey @ www.wholekitchensink.com/sausage-potato-whole30-casserole/
This Whole30 casserole recipe itself is really easy. I mean, of course it is. You’re talking to me after all. Nothing fancy or complicated. Simply brown the meat first, make the creamy sauce, combine it all in a baking dish and you’re set! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hr, 10 min
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
1 pound ground sausage
3 cups shredded potatoes (hash browns)
2 cups baby spinach
1 13.5oz can coconut cream
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 egg, beaten
1 cup broth (chicken or beef)
1/2 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons arrowroot flour (or tapioca flour)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon ghee*
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 2.5-3 quart casserole dish and set aside
Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften
Add ground sausage, garlic, salt and pepper.
Cook until meat is browned and crumbled
Drain excess grease and transfer to a large bowl.
Add almond milk, coconut cream, ghee and broth to the skillet over medium heat with the remaining spices
Combine well and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
While the sauce is heating, add hash browns, spinach, mushrooms to the bowl with the crumbed sausage and mix well.
Place the potato and sausage mixture into the casserole dish.
Slowly (to avoid clumping) whisk in flour to thicken the sauce in the skillet.
Continue whisking for about 2 minutes until sauce is thick
Pour cream sauce over the sausage and potatoes in the casserole dish.
Use a spoon to gently mix it in
Lastly, add beaten egg to the top of the casserole dish and gently mix once more just until you can no longer see the egg.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the top of the mixture forms a slight crust and doesn’t give when you press in the middle of the casserole.
Notes
If you want a thicker cream sauce, or sauce is too thin, add an additional 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot flour and slowly whisk in.
*Ghee is clarified butter. If not doing whole30 you can use regular butter.
