How to Make Tex Mex Breakfast

  1. Brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the browned sausage in the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Open one (15-ounce) can of refried beans and gently break it into small chunks. Distribute the chunks evenly over the top of the eggs.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, allowing the beans to warm through.
  6. Using a spatula, gently spread the refried beans evenly over the eggs.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa and 2 tablespoons of your favorite creamy dressing (ranch or sour cream work well). Pour this mixture evenly over the refried beans.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite Mexican blend) over the top. Transfer the skillet to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
