A low carb egg and sausage casserole without bread that features daikon radish. This white Japanese radish has almost no flavor so it’s a great mock potato.

I wanted to serve my family an alternative potato dish this Thanksgiving. When I used diced daikon radish in a low carb clam chowder, I wondered how it would be in something like scalloped potatoes.

Since the Japanese daikon radish has very little flavor, I thought an additional item should be added to the dish. We have lots of venison sausage in the freezer so it made sense to use some with the daikon.

Although I was seeking a scalloped potato dish, the result was more like a casserole. That’s why I’m calling this one an egg and sausage casserole without bread.

A lot of sausage casseroles out there call for bread which is not a good option for low carb. Using sliced radishes are much healthier and add very little carbs.

Another thing I changed from the original recipe was to add eggs. But, you can add in a low carb thickener instead. I only used the eggs to ensure the sauce thickened when baked.

I’ve got a couple other egg and sausage casserole without bread recipes on the site. This one adds in zucchini and summer squash and this one is more of a breakfast casserole.

Whichever recipe you choose to make, you will have a yummy low carb meal. And, all of the recipe freeze well so you can save some for later.
