Ingredients

  • 8 slices Whole30 compliant bacon
  • 1 pound baby red potatoes diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 eggs
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange bacon in a single-layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until crisp.
  • Once the bacon is finished, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Chop the bacon. Reserve excess bacon grease.
  • While the bacon cooks, begin prepping the veggies. Dice the potatoes and the yellow onion. Remove the broccoli florets from the stalks; cut the florets into bite-size pieces. If not pre-shredded, shred the carrots.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, over medium-heat brown the ground beef. Stir in the salt, pepper, paprika and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until browned but not cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Do not clean the pan. To the same pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-heat until hot but not smoking.
  • Add the diced potatoes to the pan with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Add the onion; cook for 1 minute or until the onion begins to soften.
  • Add the broccoli florets and the shredded carrots; cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the egg mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together 12 eggs and ¼ cup nutritional yeast until smooth.
  • Grease a 9"x 13" casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of reserved bacon grease.
  • Add bacon, ground beef mixture and vegetable mixture to the casserole dish and stir.
  • Pour egg mixture evenly over meat and veggies.
  • Bake in 350 degree pre-heated oven for 45 minutes or until eggs are set.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes. Divide into 6 equal pieces and serve.

Notes

If not on a Whole30, any high-quality bacon will do just fine.
