Baked Egg and Sausage Casserole | Kevin Wagonfoot
I’ll be honest with you—when I first started eating carnivore, I got tired of pan-frying the same proteins night after night. Then I discovered this baked egg and sausage casserole, and suddenly I had something that felt like actual comfort food. It’s the kind of dish that comes together in minutes but tastes like you actually tried.
What got me hooked was how foolproof it is. I’ve made this thing half-asleep on a Tuesday and it turned out perfect. If you’re looking for a reliable dinner that doesn’t require a lot of fussing around, this is your answer.
Why This Works for Carnivore
This casserole is basically the carnivore sweet spot—eggs and sausage working together to give you protein, fat, and genuine satisfaction. No fillers, no grains, just real food that sticks with you. It’s the kind of meal that keeps you full without the afternoon crash, and it reheats beautifully if you need leftovers for lunch the next day.

Baked Egg and Sausage Casserole
Start your day with this savory Baked Egg and Sausage Casserole, featuring perfectly cooked eggs and juicy sausage. It's a hearty, protein-packed breakfast that nourishes and fuels your morning!
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking. While the oven warms up, you can prep the sausage and eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well blended. Look for a uniform color and consistency without any streaks.
- In a separate pan, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it is browned and fully cooked. This should take about 5-7 minutes; ensure no pink remains.
- Combine the cooked sausage with the whisked eggs, then stir in garlic powder and onion powder. This adds flavor that complements the egg and sausage wonderfully.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly.

Tips & Variations
- Don't skip browning the sausage first—those little browned bits add a ton of flavor and prevent the whole thing from tasting one-note.
- If your casserole dish runs hot, keep an eye on the top in the last few minutes so the eggs don't overcook while the center's still setting.
- Make it once on a Sunday and you've got dinner sorted for a couple of nights. It genuinely tastes better the second day.
