MEXICAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under a broiler, or on top of a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, split in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and the stems.
- Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Spread the chiles in a flat layer across the bottom of the dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, stirring to break up the meat, until browned. Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and half-and-half with the hot sauce, salt and black pepper.
- In another bowl, combine the green onions, cilantro, jack, and cheddar, and mix well.
- Spoon 1/3 of the sausage mixture over the chiles in the dish, top with 1/3 of the tortilla quarters, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering, ending with a cheese layer. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients. Let rest, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake until bubbly and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the custard comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream and picante sauce.

Transfer the Rice and Corn mixture into the bottom of the pan and spread into an even layer. 8. Next spread the Ground Beef or Ground Turkey mixture evenly over the first layer. 9. Cover the baking dish with foil and pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. All ovens cook differently so check at 20 minutes. You want the Casserole to be heated through and slightly bubbly. 10. When the Casserole is done remove it from the oven, remove the foil and evenly spread the Cheese on top of the Casserole. 11. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the Cheese is melted. 12. Remove the Casserole from the Oven and sprinkle the Cilantro, Black Olives and Tomatoes on top. 13. Wait 5-8 minutes before serving. If you cut into the Casserole right away, it can fall apart, just like lasagna! ~ Serve this Casserole with a side of Sour Cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh ingredients will give your casserole the best flavor. If you can, buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or grocery store.
- Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are set, about 15-20 minutes.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Using a variety of cheeses will give your casserole a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco.
- Add your favorite toppings: After the casserole is baked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.
