This dish lends itself quite well to ingredient substitutions or additions for diversity. I prepare this much food since it freezes well for later meals.

| Yield: | 1 11×13-inch casserole |
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 ½ pounds breakfast sausage
- 6 ounces chorizo sausage
- 1 ½ large green bell peppers, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 (4 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms, drained
- 20 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 11×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place cubed potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl and partially cover with a lid. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove from the microwave and spread on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir breakfast and chorizo sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until bell peppers and onion are softened, about 5 minutes. Spread mixture over the potatoes.
- Beat eggs in a bowl and add milk. Pour beaten eggs over everything in the baking dish and move around a bit with a spoon to evenly disperse. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over top until well covered. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until egg is set, about 1 more hour. If cheese starts to brown too much, cover again with foil for the rest of the baking time.
- Cubed baked ham, cooked chopped bacon, fresh spinach, and broccoli also work well in this recipe.

Reviews
Great basic recipe. I have made it many times. I prefer broccoli to peppers and frozen hash browns to fresh potatoes. That recipe might serve more than 12 even. I live alone but love eggs for any meal, so I make a large batch chill it, cut in squares, put the squares in large zip lock bags and I have meals for a couple of months.
