Low Carb Hashbrown Casserole...Really??

Yes Really!! Came across this awesome recipe this morning. Big thanks to 24/7 Low Carb Diner for sharing!  Of course there are no potatoes in this recipe. It uses the amazing rutabaga! I have loved these ever since I tried the brown butter rutabaga recipe. I'll be trying this recipe very soon.

Three Cheese Hashbrown Casserole

6 slices bacon
1/4 lb pork sausage
2 cups shredded rutabaga
4 eggs
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 cup ricotta cheese

Bake or pan fry bacon. Drain and crumble. Brown the sausage in a small skillet. While those are cooking, place shredded rutabaga in a microwavable bowl with 2 tbsp water. Cook on high power in the microwave for 2 minutes. Drain and cool.

In a large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in the crumbled bacon, browned sausage, all the cheeses and the shredded rutabaga.

Coat an 8 inch square casserole dish with bacon grease. Pour in the casserole mixture and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting into 6 servings.

Recipe can be doubled or tripled.
