Mexican Skillet Breakfast Casserole
This Mexican Skillet Breakfast Casserole is sure to satisfy hungry family and friends. Filled with sausage, cheese and veggies, this hearty breakfast can be prepared the night before, making busy mornings stress-free!
There’s not much more that I like more on a lazy weekend morning than a warm, hearty breakfast – especially when I don’t have to do much more than turn on the oven.
With just a few minutes of prep time the night before, all I need to do in the morning to have this Mexican Skillet Breakfast Casserole on the table is wait 30 minutes for it to bake – which is just the right amount of time to get in a quiet cup of coffee before the madness of the day starts.
I don’t know about you, but this time of year is a hectic rush around our house: shopping, decorating, traveling, and entertaining- which doesn’t leave a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. That said, this is also the time of year when we tend to host quite a few breakfasts, so I’m always looking for ways to prepare my menu items ahead of time.
Not only that, but I need easy – because until I’ve had at least two cups of coffee, I’m pretty much worthless in the mornings.
So with the help of Bisquick, all I need to do do to have this simple but filling casserole ready to eat is brown some sausage, cut up a few veggies, and mix a few items together. I can do all of that the evening before, pop it in the fridge to chill overnight and then just bake in the morning. Easy-peasy. And so, so good.
The great thing about this casserole is that it is easily customizable to your family’s tastes: add in whatever veggies you’d like. A combination of red onion and green peppers would be extra fabulous in this {though you don’t see it pictured here since Doodle won’t eat a single thing green or onion-like in appearance}. Want it spicier? Add in spicy sausage, chorizo, or even some chilies in adobo.
Served with a side of fruit and/or hashbrowns, this Mexican Skillet Breakfast Casserole is the perfect make-ahead breakfast for holiday entertaining – so you can spend your time with friends and family, and not slaving away in the kitchen!

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK
Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking. In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
