Y’all, let me tell you about a breakfast recipe that’ll make your taste buds do the Texas two-step! As a born and raised Southern girl, I’ve perfected this heavenly Texas-style breakfast casserole that’ll have your family running to the kitchen faster than a tumbleweed in a windstorm.
This bad boy combines everything we love about breakfast – fluffy eggs, crispy hash browns, spicy jalapeños, and yes, honey, plenty of cheese! It’s my go-to recipe for weekend brunches, and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to share this recipe at church potlucks.
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the grocery trip):
– 1 pound of breakfast sausage (the spicier, the better!)
– 1 package frozen hash browns, thawed
– 8 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 diced jalapeño (seeds removed if you’re feeling mild)
– 1 diced bell pepper
– 1 diced onion
– 2 cloves minced garlic
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A sprinkle of Texas-sized love 💕
Now, let’s get cooking, y’all!
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish while you’re at it.
1. Brown that sausage in a large skillet until it’s perfectly crumbly. Drain the excess grease (we’re trying to keep our jeans fitting, ladies! 😉)
1. In the same skillet, sauté those peppers, onions, and garlic until they’re tender and fragrant. Lord have mercy, your kitchen’s gonna smell amazing!

1. Layer those thawed hash browns in your baking dish, top with the sausage mixture, and sprinkle with half the cheese.
1. Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl, add salt and pepper, then pour this mixture over everything in the dish. Top with remaining cheese.
1. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. The eggs should be set, and the cheese should be melted to perfection.
Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving (I know it’s hard to wait, but those burns ain’t worth it, sugar!). I love serving this with fresh salsa, sour cream, and if I’m feeling fancy, some sliced avocado.
This recipe serves 8-10 people, or 4-5 if you’ve got teenagers who eat like they’ve never seen food before! 😂
Y’all, I can’t tell you how many compliments I get on this dish. It’s perfect for holiday mornings, weekend brunches, or when you’re feeding a hungry crowd. Plus, it reheats beautifully – if you have any leftovers, that is!
