Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2.5-3 quart casserole dish and set aside

Step 2

Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften

Step 3

Add ground sausage, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until meat is browned and crumbled

Step 4

Drain excess grease and transfer to a large bowl

Step 5

Add almond milk, coconut cream, ghee and broth to the skillet over medium heat with the remaining spices

Step 6

Combine well and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. While the sauce is heating, add hash browns, spinach, mushrooms to the bowl with the crumbed sausage and mix well. Place the potato and sausage mixture into the casserole dish.

Step 7

Slowly (to avoid clumping) whisk in flour to thicken the sauce in the skillet. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes until sauce is thick

Step 8

Pour cream sauce over the sausage and potatoes in the casserole dish. Use a spoon to gently mix it in

Step 9

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top of the mixture forms a slight crust and doesn’t give when you press in the middle of the casserole
