DH loves his Southwest
flavors, and he would order this if it were on a menu. I am including ihearteating.com
Kate’s recipe here and her picture of it. You’ve seen my pictures. Hers of this
dish is much nicer!
One thing I love about all
these breakfast casseroles is the variety. We have frequent weekend guests, and
it’s so nice to serve a bunch of people with little muss or fuss. This one in
particular is assembled the night before, making mornings with company or
family much less stressful.
Kate has a wonderful site
with great recipes, and she loves to hear from her readers. This is only one of
her breakfast casseroles. So here is Kate’s Overnight Mexican BreakfastCasserole from www.ihearteating.com
I reprinted her original recipe and hope you enjoy it as much as we
did. I didn’t change a thing, and you know how I like to change recipes!
Overnight Mexican Breakfast Casserole
1-14 ounce can black beans or
pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2-10 ounce cans Rotel,
drained (she used one mild green chile and one
cilantro and lime)
1/4 teaspoon. salt
2 cups shredded Colby Jack
cheese blend, divided
2 slices thick cut bacon,
cooked and crumbled
5 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/2 tablespoon Chipotle
Tabasco sauce
8 corn tortillas
In a large bowl, stir together black beans,
Rotel, and salt.
Spread heaping 1/4 cup of bean mixture on the
bottom of a greased 9x9-inch baking dish.
Place 4 tortillas over the bean mixture,
overlapping tortillas slightly.
Layer half of bean mixture and then 1 cup of
shredded cheese over tortillas.
Add another layer with remaining 4 tortillas.
Top with remaining bean mixture.
Sprinkle crumbled bacon over bean mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk,
and Tabasco sauce.
Pour egg mixture over everything.
Cover, and chill for at least 3 hours or
overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Spray one side of a sheet of aluminum foil with
nonstick cooking spray, and cover baking pan tightly with foil.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
Top with remaining 1 cup cheese.
Return to oven, and bake, uncovered, for
another 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

breakfast. He’s not a beans-in-the-morning kind of guy.
