Prep Ahead: Save time by chopping vegetables and cooking the sausage the night before. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble the casserole in the morning.
Layer Wisely: Layer the ingredients in the slow cooker in the following order: tortillas, egg mixture, sausage, peppers and onions, black beans, and cheese. This ensures even cooking and prevents the cheese from becoming rubbery.
Adjust Spice Level: Tailor the heat level of the casserole to your preference by adjusting the amount of chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. For a milder version, reduce the spices or omit them altogether.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients like bell peppers, onions, and cilantro add vibrant flavors and colors to the casserole. If possible, use organic or locally sourced produce for the best taste.
Don't Overcook: Overcooking can result in a dry and rubbery casserole. Cook the casserole on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
