Y’all, let me tell you about a breakfast recipe that’ll make your taste buds do the Texas two-step! As a Southern girl who takes her morning meals seriously, 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 – crispy hash browns, spicy chorizo, farm-fresh eggs, and enough cheese to make a dairy farmer blush. Trust me, honey, this isn’t your average breakfast casserole!
Ingredients (because mama didn’t raise no unprepared cook):
– 1 package frozen hash browns, thawed
– 1 pound Texas-style chorizo
– 8 large eggs
– 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (don’t you dare use the pre-shredded stuff!)
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 diced jalapeño (seeds removed if you’re feeling shy)
– 1 diced bell pepper
– 1 diced onion
– 2 tablespoons Texas Pete hot sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
Y’all, here’s how we make magic happen:
1. Preheat that oven to 375°F (don’t skip this step, I’m watching you! 😉)
1. Brown your chorizo in a large skillet, breaking it up like your last relationship. Drain the excess grease but leave a little for flavor – we’re not counting calories today!
1. In the same skillet, sauté those peppers and onions until they’re softer than a Texas sunset.
1. Layer your thawed hash browns in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Season them generously – bland food is for Yankees!

1. Mix your eggs, milk, and hot sauce in a bowl. Whisk it like you mean it!
1. Layer the chorizo mixture over the hash browns, pour that egg mixture on top, and sprinkle with cheese until it looks dangerous.
1. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let it rest for 5 minutes (I know it’s hard, but patience is a virtue, sugar!). Serve it up with some fresh avocado slices, sour cream, and extra hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy!
This casserole serves 8-10 people, or 4 hungry cowboys – no judgment here! It’s perfect for holiday mornings, weekend brunches, or when you need to impress your mother-in-law (we’ve all been there!).
