Southwest Breakfast Casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Add the sausage, jalapeno, and poblano to a large skillet. Season the meat and peppers with the onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through.

Step 2

Spray the casserole dish with cooking spray. Add the hash brown potatoes to the casserole dish in an even layer. Add the cooked sausage & pepper mixture to the hash brown potatoes, dispersing it evenly over the potatoes. If using tomatoes, add the tomatoes too.

Step 3

Top the sausage & pepper layer with half of the cheese (1 cup) and the sliced scallions. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of everything. Add the rest of the cheese (1 cup) on top of everything.

Step 4

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Garnish with plenty of chopped cilantro and slice into squares. Enjoy!
