If you are looking for a new breakfast casserole recipe, you are in the right spot! This Make Ahead Hash Brown Chorizo Breakfast Casserole is incredibly flavorful, filling, and so so easy.
There’s nothing better than waking up on a Saturday morning and popping a breakfast casserole directly into the oven. The work is all done the night before which leaves you sipping on coffee, patiently waiting for the casserole to bake. That’s my kinda Saturday!
Make Ahead breakfast casseroles are also perfect for holiday’s, especially if you have family in town. No one wants to spend Christmas morning slaving away in the kitchen, which is why making a casserole the night before is key.
This Make Ahead Hash Brown Chorizo Breakfast Casserole is so so so delicious! It’s loaded with hash browns, mexican chorizo, peppers, onions, eggs, and cheese, and baked to golden perfection!
I personally love toppings, so I topped it off with sliced jalapeños, cilantro, and served it with a side of salsa. Absolutely delicious!!

Instructions
- Remove hash browns from the freezer and add to a 9 x 14 greased casserole dish; set aside.

- Add onion, garlic, bell peppers, jalapeño, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook another 3-4 minutes, until peppers are soft.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper together until smooth and creamy.
- Spread chorizo mixture evenly on top of hash browns then top with cheese.
- Pour whisked eggs all over the top, and using a fork press down so that it’s in an even layer and everything is coated by the egg mixture.
- Refrigerate overnight. When you are ready to bake, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 55-65 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Serve with jalapeños, cilantro, salsa, and any other toppings of choice! Enjoy!
