Breakfast Burrito Casserole
Description
This casserole begins by whisking eggs with milk, salt, and pepper, then softly scrambling them until just cooked. Separately, diced onions and green and red bell peppers are sautéed until softened. Ground pork sausage is cooked through, drained, and then simmered with cream cheese until fully melted and creamy, creating a rich meat mixture.
In a greased baking dish, flour tortillas are layered with the sausage mixture, scrambled eggs, cooked vegetables, and shredded cheddar cheese. The layers build a hearty casserole reminiscent of a breakfast burrito but assembled for convenient baking and serving. The dish is baked in stages, starting at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, to meld flavors and melt the cheese thoroughly.
This recipe yields a comforting, filling breakfast or brunch option with balanced textures from the tender eggs and onions, creamy sausage, soft tortillas, and melted cheddar. The combination of sweet and savory peppers adds brightness. It is suitable for group meals where serving multiple portions together is desired.
