Why this recipe works

Nothing like a good casserole for an easy dinner or to have meals ready for the week. But for those of us who can’t tolerate gluten or dairy, they can be a little tricky.

So this Paleo and Whole30 casserole is chock full of Italian sausage, mushrooms, peppers, olives, pepperoni and more without any bread, milk or other common casserole ingredients.

And you know what? It’s still delicious and filling, just like any other casserole.

 

What you need for this Paleo and Whole30 Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, either links or loose
  • 1 (14 oz.) jar or can of pizza sauce
  • 1 medium yellow or red onion
  • 1 bell pepper, any color
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced (I like baby bellas)
  • 1 (2.25 oz.) can of sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 oz. sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional, adds a cheesy flavor without dairy)
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • fine sea salt
  • avocado oil or olive oil
  • avocado oil spray or olive oil spray (optional)

Note for Whole30: As always for Whole30, check your ingredient labels. Most of these ingredients should be fine. It might be difficult to find compatible pepperoni but you can just leave it out if necessary.

Equipment:

  • a 9×13″ baking dish
  • a large (12″) skillet
  • a slotted spoon
  • a cutting board
  • a chef’s knife
  • measuring spoons
  • a large mixing bowl
  • a medium mixing bowl
  • a whisk
  • a spatula or wooden spoon
  • a can opener

How to make this Paleo and Whole30 casserole

Step 1: Heat the oven to 400°.

Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage (squeezing the meat out of the casings, if using links) and sauté until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage to a medium mixing bowl, leaving the fat in the pan.

Step 3: If the pan is still looking a little dry, add one more tablespoon oil. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned and most of the moisture in the pan has evaporated, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4: While the mushrooms are cooking, peel and dice the onion and de-seed and chop the pepper.

Step 5: Once the mushrooms are ready, add another tablespoon of oil, if necessary. Then add the onion and pepper to the pan with another 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Sauté until the onion and pepper are tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk the eggs with the pizza sauce, nutritional yeast (if using), garlic powder, dried oregano and black pepper.

Step 7: Add the sausage and veggies to the egg mixture, along with the drained, sliced olives.

Step 8: If the pepperoni slices are large, cut them in half or in quarters and stir into the egg mixture, making sure they don’t stick together.

Step 9: Grease a 9×13″ baking dish with oil or an oil spray. Pour in the egg mixture and spread to an even layer.

Step 10: Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until slightly bubbling and the top is set. Let cool for 10 minutes, slice and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make substitutions?

Just like with pizza, feel free to customize this however you like! Don’t like pepperoni, or olives, or mushrooms? Leave them out! Want to skip the onion and use 2 bell peppers instead? Great!

To make it vegetarian, omit the Italian sausage and pepperoni. Sauté the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of oil and add more to the pan as necessary.

The nutritional yeast gives it a mildly cheesy flavor, but I’ve also made this multiple times without it and it still tastes good.

To make it spicy, add red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.

If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle chopped fresh basil on top before serving.

Can I make this Paleo Pizza Casserole ahead of time?

This casserole can keep in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or a 350° oven for 20-30 minutes.

Can I freeze this Paleo Pizza Casserole?

If you know you’re going to freeze the casserole, line the baking dish with aluminum foil and grease the foil. Make sure it’s long enough on the sides that you can grab the foil and lift the casserole out of the dish when it’s frozen.

Then freeze the baked casserole in its dish. Once frozen, lift the casserole out of the baking dish and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in a freezer-safe container or large freezer-safe baggie. Freeze for up to 3 months.

If you didn’t line your baking dish with aluminum foil, wait until your casserole has cooled to room temperature. Cut any leftovers into square or rectangular portions (either large or individually sized) and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place in a freezer-safe container or baggie and freeze for up to 3 months.

Thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat in a 350° oven for 20-30 minutes or in the microwave.

    I can’t say no to pizza, and this casserole is a tasty, healthier version. I love that you added nutritional yeast for a cheese flavor. Brilliant.
