This recipe was inspired by a classic Southern breakfast staple, the sweet potato breakfast casserole. I wanted to create a paleo-friendly version that was just as delicious and comforting, but without the grains or dairy. After some experimentation, I came up with this recipe, which uses grated sweet potatoes, bacon, coconut milk, and eggs to create a hearty and flavorful casserole. It's the perfect way to start your day!
