Breakfast Sausage Casserole (with sweet potatoes!)

My friend made an amazing breakfast casserole and lots of moms starting requesting the recipe! I used Italian sausage instead of Deer sausage. I'm sure breakfast sausage would be great. I went to the grocery store to grab the ingredients for this casserole and thought I'd share some time saving tips for it. I had no idea but there are actually frozen sweet potatoes that are already peeled and cut at Walmart! That made me happy. Grabbing some frozen seasoning blend ( chopped onions, peppers, and celery mix) would also be good to cook with the sausage. :) I always keep seasoning blend handy for tons of recipes. Here it is:

	I apologize, I do not measure anything when I do breakfast casseroles, so I will do the best I can :) I used about 1.5 lbs homemade deer sausage (it was pretty spicy/salty) About 3 cups chopped spinach garlic powder onion powder one large sweet potato, with coconut oil for baking, salt and pepper 12 eggs I love to add chopped onion when cooking the sausage, I just didn't have any this time. I peeled and chopped the sweet potato into bite sized pieces, tossed the pieces in about 2 tbs melted coconut oil and spread on a baking sheet.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at 400 for about 25 min.  While those were baking I cooked the sausage.  When the sausage was cooked thoroughly, I added the chopped spinach to the pan, just long enough to wilt.  Then transferred sausage and spinach to 9x13ish dish.  I dusted the top of sausage with onion powder and garlic powder.  Then added the sweet potato on top of that, then the 12 beaten eggs.  I covered with foil and left in fridge overnight, but you can mix and bake in the morning.  I baked it at 400 for about 30 min, until the eggs are set. :)

1 Peter 5

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

John MacArthur study bible- "'Casting means to throw something on something,' as to throw a blanket on a donkey. Christians are to cast all of their discontent, discouragement, despair, and suffering on the Lord, and trust Him for knowing what He's doing with their lives. Along with submission and humility, trust in God is the third attitude necessary for victorious Christian living."

How wonderful that we can trust Him with our lives and we can just continually come to Him with our burdens, sorrows, worries, circumstances, trials...knowing that He knows far more than we do, knows what is best for us, and will work all things for good. And in the future..."And after you have suffered a little while, the God of grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."

A Very Good Question
