How to Make Southwestern Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare cornbread mix according to package directions. Let cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, cut the cornbread into 1-inch cubes and place them evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle 4 slices (about 4 oz) cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen), and 1/4 cup chopped green onions over the cubed cornbread.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until frothy (about 3 minutes using an electric mixer).
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole ingredients.
  7. Cook 1 (16 oz) package of frozen hash browns in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and crispy. Drain any excess oil.
  8. Spread the cooked hash browns evenly over the egg mixture.
  9. Top with 1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
