Instructions
- Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Use a large mixing bowl to combine the hash browns and 1 tablespoon of the Taco seasoning. Toss until evenly coated, then gently press the mixture into the baking dish.
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add the chorizo (sausage). Cook for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through, drain.
- While the chorizo is cooking, in a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and the remaining taco seasoning. Once the eggs have been fully beaten stir in the shredded cheese.
- Stir in the salsa. Once the chorizo has been cooked and drained, add it to the egg mixture.
- Pour the chorizo/egg mixture over the hash browns in the baking pan.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, or until the egg center has cooked through.
- Allow the casserole to cool and set for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make ahead of time. Cover and keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours, or wrap with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature before baking.
- How to store. Divide leftovers into individual-sized servings and store in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave.
