Postpartum Breakfast Freezer Cups

cook:

45 min

8 servings

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, in my humble option, and I’m not planning on skimping on it while postpartum. I knew that I wanted to prep some freezer cups that were packed with nutrients, carbs, and protein to fill me up and sustain me through the sleepless nights. Yes, I’ll be adding eggs during the reheat process… but that seems easy enough. Right? πŸ‘€

Ingredients

β€’ 5 Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1 inch ish cubes
β€’ 1 lb Breakfast sausage
β€’ 2 bell peppers, chopped
β€’ 1 medium yellow onion, diced
β€’ 1lb frozen spinach whole or chopped
β€’ Italian seasoning blend
β€’ Salt and pep
β€’ Olive oil

Directions

1.
Preheat oven to 425F. Add potatoes to baking sheet, drizzle with some olive oil, Italian seasoning blend, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Bake at 425F for 30-45 minutes or until tender, golden, and crispy. The timing will all depend on how big you cut your potatoes.

2.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add about 1 tbsp oil. Add the breakfast sausage in clumps and leave undisturbed to cook and crisp for about 3-5 minutes. Then use your spatula to break it up and continue cooking until no pink remains. Use a slotted spoon to remove and set aside.
β€’ 1 lb Breakfast sausage
β€’ Olive oil
3.
Add the peppers and onions to the pan and cook, stirring often, until softened and maybe even frizzling around the edges. Remove from the heat and set aside.
β€’ 2 bell peppers, chopped
β€’ 1 medium yellow onion, diced
4.
Assemble the jars! Add in the potatoes, peppers and onions, sausage, and spinach evenly among the 8 jars (or however many you choose to make). Loosely put on the lid initially for freezing and then once frozen you can tighten it all the way. This will help prevent the glass from baking if there is any expansion.

My plan to reheat is to just dump the contents into a pan, cook, then add some eggs to round it out.
6.
ENJOY!
