Categories     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 oz Hash Browns
12 Eggs
3/4 cup Milk
3 links Chorizo
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
6 oz Manchego Cheese, shredded
3 Scallions
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Steps:

  • Prep the chorizo by removing the outer casing.
  • Then rough chop the chorizo up into small pieces, somewhere between the size of a pea and a grape. Store sealed in the fridge until ready to cook.
  • Slice the scallions. Shred the cheeses.
  • Crack 12 eggs into a large bowl. Add most of the scallions, saving some of the greens for garnish. Add salt and pepper, then add 1 cup of milk and beat until mixed.
  • To the slow cooker pot, add the frozen hash browns, salt, pepper, and the chorizo. Mix together.
  • Add the shredded cheeses and mix together. Then pour over the egg mixture and lightly stir, just so the eggs seep into all the potatoes.
  • Set the Slow Cooker to 6 hours, low. Do this right before the last person turns into bed for the night, so that you wake up to this wonderful breakfast. After 6 hours, the slow cooker will go to warm mode so that it won't overcook, but stay warm until you are ready to eat!
  • The easiest way to slice and serve is to remove the slow cooker pot and place a plate/platter over top. Then invert the pot so the casserole slides right out onto the plate. You can flip it over if you like so the 'pretty' side is up or just cut and serve. Garnish with the remaining scallion slices and Enjoy!

MEXICAN CHORIZO BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



Mexican Chorizo Breakfast Casserole image

I came up with this recipe when I was looking for a breakfast casserole, but wanted something different than the normal breakfast casseroles.

Provided by ckutac

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs

Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
cooking spray
6 slices bread
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line the bottom with bread slices.
  • Cook chorizo over medium-high heat until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Heat oil in the same pan. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Peel poblanos and slice flesh. Mix with the onion.
  • Beat eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread chorizo over the bread slices. Cover with onion-poblano mixture. Pour the beaten eggs on top. Sprinkle cheese blend over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and top is starting to brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • When browning the chorizo, be sure to cook it until it is crispy. This will help to infuse the casserole with flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A sharp cheddar or a spicy pepper jack would be a great addition to this casserole.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also make this casserole in the oven. Just bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker chorizo breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's perfect for a weekend brunch or a weekday breakfast on the go. With its simple ingredients and minimal prep time, this casserole is sure to become a family favorite.
