Sweet Potato, Sausage, and Power Greens Breakfast Casserole

Call it the Week of the Casserole!  Today's recipe is for a delicious breakfast casserole, but I've also got a dinner casserole/"bake" for you later on in the week.  I LOVE casseroles.  They're easy to throw together, make several servings for easy leftovers, and are such a warm, undeniably comforting meal.

This breakfast casserole is full of meat, veggies, and eggs.  The flavors are spot on - savory sausage, thyme, and clove combined with the sweetness of the sweet potatoes - yum!  An added bonus?  FOUR CUPS (yes, four!) of filling, fibrous, vitamin-packed power greens.

A special thank you to my sweet husband, Steven, for helping me prep this weekend.  I am no-where close to matching his speed and skill with a knife yet, so he saved me a lot of time by helping me cut up veggies!  Anyone else love to spend time in the kitchen with their spouse?  Mine is a fabulous cook and continues to teach me so much.  A voracious appetite and love of food is one of the many traits we share, and I sure am thankful for it :)
