Mexican Breakfast Casserole

January 14, 2013 by Evelyn 62 Comments

This is a make Ahead Mexican Breakfast Casserole with tortillas and is a spin-off of a Tex Mex Breakfast Casserole idea.  It’s an easy Overnight Mexican Breakfast Casserole spiced up with both Hatch green chile and sliced jalapeƱos.

We totally love a great Make Ahead breakfast casserole and since we also love Tex Mex recipes we decided to bring those two loves together in this Tex Mex Breakfast Casserole.    This overnight Mexican breakfast casserole has layers of seasoned breakfast sausage, tortillas, Monterey Jack cheese, and green chile.
 
It’s topped with cheese and sliced jalapeƱos to make one of the best Mexican Breakfast Casseroles we have ever tried.   We are bringing our love of New Mexico and Texas together with this dish.   If it is too spicy then the jalapeƱos can be left off.
 
During the holidays or when we have company here at the Ranch, it’s always nice to throw together a breakfast casserole the night before.   It makes the mornings so much nicer to be able to sit on the front porch and watch the sunrise as breakfast is cooking.    We are able to enjoy our guest so much more when our morning starts off with this delicious casserole but we didn’t have to spend much time in the kitchen.
 
We normally serve this with our Homemade Roasted JalapeƱo Salsa and even a Mimosa for special occasions.

This Mexican Breakfast Casserole is absolutely delicious and great for company.   But we don’t wait for company to arrive to enjoy those south of the Border flavors.   This is great reheated the next day and we have even had it for dinner.

    I LOVE this recipe, and it would be perfect for my new link party. This link party is called 'Required Ingredient Recipe Link Party' and I'll be holding it every Sunday, starting right now.

    The idea is to focus on a single ingredient each week and I'm starting off with cheese because everyone loves cheese!

    I'm planning to do a ton of promotion to get this link party off the ground, so any recipes you post should get lots of attention.

    Regardless of if you link up or not, I'm pinning this recipe! Yum!

    Hope to see you at the link party…
