You can prepare it all ahead of time and freeze! All you have to do is take the ‘make ahead part’ out of the freezer, add the eggs, and bake! Tastes like you slaved over the stove for hours before sunrise. Your company will think you did anyway. This can be a delicious breakfast casserole, or a brunch casserole. You can add just about any ingredients that you have in your kitchen and the casserole just gets better. The secret is using frozen french fries for the potatoes and freezing ahead of time.

Recipe Story

It’s just good ole West Texas hospitality to have friends and family stop by and spend the night. I just wouldn’t allow someone visiting and traveling through our part of Texas to go to the next town and stay in a hotel. Even though we’re busy (as busy as retired people can be! lol) with our internet businesses, gardening, and enjoying the Sherwood Ranch, we also enjoy company. I don’t do early mornings and the thought of getting up at the crack of dawn to make a special breakfast, doesn’t quite fit into my usual schedule. I like to make casseroles for breakfast, so I have a way to prepare a Real Texas Make Ahead Breakfast Casserole.

Ingredients

2 cups frozen French Fries (the precooked kind work best), diced

1 small roll hot and spicy Sausage, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup minced Jalapenos

1 cup chopped Mushrooms

1 cup chopped Texas 1015 sweet Onions

1 cup chunky Salsa (I use my homemade Real Texas Salsa)

1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Jalapeno Cheese (or Jack Pepper Cheese)

6 to 8 large Eggs, slightly beaten

3 tablespoons Milk

1/4 Baking Powder

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

Spray a square cooking dish with oil. Layer the bottom with dice french fries, sausage, jalapenos, onions, jalapenos, and cheese. You can cover and freeze until ready to use.

When you are are ready to prepare, remove the casserole from the freezer and set aside. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Mix the slightly beaten eggs, milk, baking powder, salt and pepper and pour over the frozen casserole.

Bake in oven for approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Baking time will vary depending on the moisture of the ingredients you use. Casserole is ready when you can insert a knife into the center and there is no liquid. If casserole is getting too golden, place foil over the top and continue to bake. Checking frequently.
