#1,434: Butternut Squash Breakfast Skillet

This was a super easy, really delicious breakfast that I ate for three days this week.  It makes a big batch of squash and sausage so you can definitely make this once and it eat for a few meals.  This reheated really well, and I would definitely make this again! 

12 oz butternut squash, peeled and diced into ½” cubes 

1 Tbsp oil of choice

1 lb homemade breakfast sausage (I was lazy and did not use a homemade one)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

½ tsp onion powder

½ cup water

In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of oil over medium-high heat.  Add the butternut squash and sauté for 2-3 minutes. (I was roasting other veggies, so I just roasted mine in the oven instead)

Add the water, cover the pan loosely, and cook for 4 minutes or until the water has absorbed and the squash is tender.  Push the squash to the sides of the pan.

(I did not do this step and cooked mine in a separate pan!)  Add the sausage in the middle of the pan and begin to brown (do not mix with the squash until cooked). 

Once the sausage has cooked through, mix it with the squash and add the seasonings.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
