Cornbread Breakfast Bake

This easy breakfast casserole is perfect to meal prepping and is a total crowd pleaser. The Cornbread Breakfast Bake is loaded with meat and fresh veggies.

Alright you guys, I am obsessed with this breakfast bake!! It was one of those clean-out-the-fridge recipes where I didn’t feel like making a boring egg scramble and was also craving something sweet. It’s chock full of protein from lean ground beef, eggs, and egg whites and also helps you get your veggies in without even realizing it! This really is one of those meals that is decently healthy, but doesn’t taste healthy. And I’m all about that ;).

I almost didn’t share this recipe because I wasn’t planning on blogging the morning I made it. It was a spontaneous mixture that came together since I didn’t feel like making a grocery store trip but was starting to get a little hangry. I LOVE cornbread and thought, what the heck, and mixed together some pre-made mix, poured it on top of my ground beef mixture, and hoped for the best.

The result? Sweet and salt perfection that will keep you full all morning long. I didn’t plan for it to be a meal prep recipe, but I ended up eating it pretty much for 3 days straight for breakfast AND lunch. You can also customize it to whatever your taste preferences are! Don’t like spinach? Feel free to sub in another veggie. You don’t eat red meat? Add in ground chicken or turkey.
