How to Make Becky's Southwest Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Butter a 13x9-inch glass baking dish.
  3. Unroll 1 (8 ounce) can of crescent rolls and press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing perforations and pressing halfway up the sides to form a crust.
  4. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1 cup salsa and 1 teaspoon garlic powder; cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Remove from heat and pour the sausage mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.
  8. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, ¼ cup chopped green onions, and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.
  9. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the sausage.
  10. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate the casserole overnight. If not refrigerating, proceed to the next step.
  11. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  12. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  13. Cover the casserole with foil.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes.
  15. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  16. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  17. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature with sour cream, salsa, or picante sauce.
