Tips & Tricks
Never put a cold casserole dish into the hot oven. The extreme temperature change can shock the dish and break it.
If you’re feeding a crowd, make two casseroles. The recipe is easy to double.
Lean in to the Tex-Mex flavor and use Mexican chorizo instead of sausage, for a spicier option.
Lighten up the meat choice by using low fat sausage, chicken sausage, or turkey sausage.
Substitute the pepper-jack cheese with shredded cheddar, white cheddar, Swiss, or Asiago.
Serve a bowl of salsa or pico de gallo on the side for a delicious accouterments. I also like to sprinkle on a bit of fresh cilantro after baking.
What To Serve It With
Who doesn’t love a weekend brunch? It’s one of our favorite indulgences and is loads of fun. Here’s a well thought out menu to set up a breakfast buffet:
Start the party with a gorgeous brunch cheese board, and toast to the day with a Sriracha bloody Mary.
Every brunch needs something sweet. Add these homemade cinnamon muffins to round out the table, or simply purchase some cinnamon rolls or donuts.
Add stuffed strawberries and cream for something light and fresh. If you don’t have time to stuff them just serve the cream on the side and dip the strawberries and other fruit into it.
A pitcher of golden sparkling fruit punch takes the place of orange juice and can be used for mimosas. In addition, set up a coffee bar for entertaining.
