How to Make Ya Gotta Try It Breakfast Casserole

  1. Brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease and set aside to cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 (10 ounce) can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained.
  4. Gently fold in the cooled sausage.
  5. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. At this point, you can bake immediately, refrigerate overnight, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  7. If baking from frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the casserole is browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
