This easy Huevos Rancheros Casserole combines everything we love about Mexican breakfast in one dish!  A hearty, satisfying savory yet healthy breakfast that is perfect for feeding a crowd and that can also hold its own for dinner. Can also be made with scrambled eggs instead of baked eggs. 

Easy Mexican Huevos Rancheros Casserole

corn tortillas

black beans (from a can, rinsed and drained (or pinto beans))

cheddar cheese (Monterey Jack or Mexican-style blend)

cooking spray (I used olive oil)

cilantro

jalapeños

avocado

Preheat oven to 400F/200C degrees.

Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray. Layer 3 tortillas at the bottom of the dish (or enough to cover the whole surface). Spread 1 cup of salsa, then top with 1/2 cup beans and then 2/3 cups cheese.

Repeat with another layer of tortillas, salsa, beans and cheese.

Add a final layer of tortillas, salsa and cheese (without beans this time).

With a spoon make an indentation for each egg (to prevent them from running all over the casserole). Delicately crack an egg in the hole you made and repeat with remaining eggs.

Bake for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the egg whites are set. Exact timing will depend on your oven and how runny you like your eggs.

Serve immediately, topped with chopped cilantro, diced avocado and sliced jalapeño.

This Mexican breakfast casserole has plenty of cheesy layers, like a Tex-Mex lasagna! Serve it to overnight guests or as an easy weekend brunch.

Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole is a simple recipe bursting with Italian flavors! A spin on the classic all-America breakfast casserole frees up your morning by letting the crockpot do all the work for you.

Overnight Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole

heavy cream (or half and half)

onion powder

black pepper

red pepper flakes

bag refrigerated hash browns

mozzarella cheese (divided)

parmesan cheese (divided)

tomatoes (divided)

basil (divided)

cooking spray

Spray a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. I used a 6 quart crockpot. Set aside.

In a medium bowl or 4 cup measuring cup combine eggs and cream. Whisk until well combined. Sprinkle spices (onion powder, salt and both peppers) over egg mixture while whisking. Whisk until completely combined. Set aside.

In slow cooker, combine all of the hash browns and about 1/2 of each of the remaining ingredients (Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, sliced sausage links, sun-dried tomatoes and basil). Using fingers, gently toss hash brown mixture until combined. Pour egg mixture over casserole. If necessary use a spatula to smooth out the top.

Set aside about 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese (approximately 2 ounces). Sprinkle the remaining reserved ingredients over the top of the casserole. Cover the slow cooker and cook for 6-8 hours on low or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the casserole reads 160°F. Once the center of the casserole is cooked through, it is done.

Sprinkle casserole with remaining cheese, serve and enjoy!

Mexican Breakfast Casserole is hearty and filling with a bit of spice! It comes together quickly and is ready to eat in under an hour.

Mexican Breakfast Casserole Reicpe

(1 bag) 20 oz cooked shredded hash brown potatoes (thawed)

(1 package) 1 oz Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix

chorizo pork sausage)

Mexican Cheese (shredded)

ground pepper

salsa

Spray a 13x9x2 inch baking dish with cooking spray and Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Use a large mixing bowl to combine the hash browns, 1 tbsp of the Taco seasoning, toss until evenly coated, then gently press the mixture into the baking dish.

Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add the chorizo (sausage). Cook for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through, drain.

While the chorizo is cooking you grab a mixing bowl and beat the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and the rest of the taco seasoning. Once the eggs have been fully beaten stir in the shredded cheese.

Stir in the salsa. Once the chorizo has been cooked and drained, add it to the egg mixture.

Pour the chorizo/egg mixture over the hash browns in the baking pan.

Bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, or until the egg center has cooked through.

Allow the casserole to cool and set for about 10 minutes before serving.
