My Southwest Breakfast Casserole is flavorful and perfect for feeding a crowd, brunch, holidays, or meal prep!
Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 1 c. milk
- 12 oz. chorizo sausage chopped
- 1 c. red bell pepper chopped
- ½ c. onion diced
- ½ c. salsa
- 4 oz. green chiles
- 30 oz. frozen shredded hash browns thawed
- 2 c. Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs and milk.
- Mix in sausage, pepper, onion, salsa, and green chiles. Slowly stir in shredded hash browns and cheese.
- Pour mixture into the baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes.
Notes
- Using thawed hash browns helps the casserole bake evenly and prevents excess moisture.
- Gently folding in the hash browns and cheese keeps the mixture light and fluffy.
- To check for doneness, make sure the center is set and no longer jiggly.
- You can easily customize the heat level by choosing a mild salsa or a spicier option based on your preference.
- Letting the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing will help it hold together better.
