Nana's Spicy Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, divided
  • 5 slices white sandwich bread, or as needed
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
Instructions
1
Begin by greasing the base and sides of an 8 1/2x11-inch baking dish with a generous amount of butter.
2
Next, apply the remaining butter to one side of each bread slice and position them butter-side down in the prepared dish, ensuring a uniform layer covers the entire base.
3
In a separate pan, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage until it reaches your desired level of browning, crumbliness, and doneness, approximately 5 minutes.
4
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bread slices in a single layer.
5
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture over the sausage in an even layer.
6
Combine Cheddar cheese and green chiles in a separate container. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the egg layer.
7
Cover the dish and refrigerate it for 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
8
To bake, place the dish in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake, uncovered, until the top is golden brown, approximately 1 hour.
