Southwestern Breakfast Casserole
(6 servings) Printable Version
- 1 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy depending on taste)
- 1 small onion - chopped
- 1/2 green pepper - chopped
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 8 flour tortillas - torn into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cups shredded Jack cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 and 1/4 cups milk

How To Make A Southwestern Breakfast Casserole
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage with onion and green pepper until sausage begins to brown. Drain and return to skillet. Stir in tomatoes and simmer about 10 minutes.
In a 9 x 12 casserole dish, layer 1/2 of the tortilla pieces, followed by 1/2 of the sausage mixture and 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat the layers in order.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over entire casserole.
Cover casserole with loosely-fitting foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until egg is completely set.
Allow to set and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
For this casserole, you can adjust the amount of heat by using spicy or mild sausage and Pepper Jack or regular Jack cheese. For extra heat, add some chopped jalapenos.

Excellent! However, I did tweak. I find most recipes on this site to be under seasoned, so I did this: Half and half Jimmy Dean sausage and pork chorizo; used Rotel tomatoes fortified with canned HOT chopped Hatch chiles; several healthy shakes of Chulula hot sauce.

I was skeptical at first just because there weren't many reviews. I also didn't think it would have much flavor. I added some chipotle seasoning and salt and pepper. Boy was I wrong. I could have skipped putting seasoning and it would still have flavor. It was amazing. My in laws loved it! Thank you!

My first breakfast casserole was a success. The only thing I may change is to add more veggies and cut the cheese in half.

This looks delicious, but is that a can of Rotel tomatoes? The photos show a loaf pan, but the recipe says a 9x13?

Didn't have any green pepper so substituted sweet corn. Added some extra caribe as my sausage wasn't very spicy. Excellent!
