Jump to Recipe
Right now I am watching Crossfit’s “Fittest on Earth,” which is on Netflix now. Pretty interesting to watch some of the best athletes behind the scenes during their time at the crossfit games, how hard they train and what goes through their minds during what is probably the most intense few days of workouts for them. It’s amazing to see what they can do. I will never be at their level. That takes a lot of time and dedication, to be able to train your body to be able to do everything they can do. I love crossfit, but I would never want to compete on that level.
Anyway, you probably already know that I love casseroles. This one was pretty great! The sweet potato went along nicely with the Italian sausage.
This wasn’t too complicated, and although I made it as a dinner entree, I had it for breakfast one morning as well, and it was great!
Such an easy paleo casserole dish. Make this to eat throughout the week and you’ll have dinner or breakfast already set!
