THU Awesome Cheesy Sausage Potato Pie

This is pretty nifty.  It’s in the same vein as Brussel’s Sprouts Awesome, seeing as I’m not sure how I never made this before now and how I ever lived without it.

Ingredients

  1.   1 large sweet potato, cubed into 1/4″-1/2″ cubes
  2.   3 large egss, beaten
  3.   10 oz sage breakfast sausage
  4.   1 small onion, diced up super ass small
  5.   8 oz monterey jack cheese
  6.   2 tablespoons basil (fresh is better, dried is ok)
  7.   3 tablespoons vegetable broth
  8.   4 slices of pepperoni, trust me, only 4, no less, no more
  9.   3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  10.  2 cups spinach

Recipe

  1.   Sweet potatoes into a pie pan and bake for 15 minutes at 375 in a preheated oven
  2.   Saute the onion with the vegetable broth and sausage.  Keep going until there is no liquid left, then pull off and drain well to get all that sausage grease off
  3.   Put back into a pan with the spinach and saute until the spinach is soft and mixed in.
  4.   Add the basil, stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes on medium, with lid on is better
  5.   Dice up the pepperoni and put in a food processor with your block of Monterrey Jack cheese, pulse until the cheese is crumples and there are little red specks everywhere (that’s the pepperoni.  It’s being used as a spice in this dish)
  6.   Take out your sweet potatoes, sprinkle with Parm cheese.  Cover them with the sausage-onion mixture.  Evenly poor over the beaten eggs.  Then evenly spread your cheese mixture back over the whole thing.  Put back into the oven at 375
  7. Bake about 20 minutes or until the whole thing is nice and bubbly and the cheese is all Melty and awesome.
  8. This should easily feed 4 people and have 2 servings for leftovers for work.

This is super yummy.   This is ridiculously paleo friendly and is phase 3 (being generous here) for us LTL types.  For a slightly healthier version, use turkey sausage.
