Green Chili and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

Is there anything better than a nice breakfast casserole on cold Sunday morning? Here’s a new recipe I’ve been playing with that has some fun Southwestern flavors. The casserole is easy to put together and can sit in the fridge overnight. You just bake it while enjoying your first cup of coffee and by the time everyone’s crawled out of bed on Sunday, breakfast is ready.

This also makes a great weekday dinner. Just assemble it in the morning, stick it in the fridge and bake when you get home. Add a side salad and dinner is served.

Chili Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Author: 
Recipe type: Breakfast

Ingredients
  • 6 slices bread with crust removed
  • 1 pound sausage
  • 4 cups Colby Jack cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cans green chilies
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 teaspoon mustard, dry
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Picante sauce
Instructions
  1. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, place lightly buttered (on both sides) bread.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the sausage and drain well.
  3. Sprinkle the sausage as evenly as possible over bread slices – make sure bread is covered. Sprinkle the cheese over the sausage layer and then place green chilies over the cheese.
  4. Beat the eggs in a medium sized mixing bowl and then add in the half-and-half, mustard and salt.
  5. Once mixed thoroughly pour over the casserole and cover with tin foil and place in the refrigerator overnight.

The directions above outline how to make the casserole the night before and then bake it the next morning. This is my favorite way to do things. If you want to do everything in the morning, just start by preheating the oven, assemble your casserole and bake it right away.

Chili Casserole

I made this up years ago when I had not-enough of a bunch of things. It's basically an extrapolated tamale pie. I'm sorry this is so long. I promise it's not difficult.

  • 1 15-ounce can chili (2 cups homemade/leftover)
  • 1 pound ground meat, browned and drained (beef, turkey, whatever)
  • 1 15-ounce can beans, any kind, rinsed and drained (2 cups homemade/leftover)
  • 1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained a little (2 cups fresh, seeded and chopped)
  • 1 15-ounce can kernel corn or hominy, drained (2 cups fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • your favorite recipe of cornbread batter, or 1 package mix (I prefer unsweetened)
  • jalapeños to taste (I use 2-3 pickled slices, squeezed through a garlic press)
  • cheese, if you wish

Alternative: Rice, cooked
**You can substitute cooked rice (or any other grain, really) for some or all of the ground meat. One pound ground meat made two generous cups of crumbled meat after browning, so substitute accordingly.

Notes:
1) This is a very forgiving recipe and you can make lots of substitutions. Also, if you don't have the proportions c alled for here, it doesn't matter. It's basically stew in casserole form: You can't really go wrong.
2) No chili? Add extra tomatoes and beans, and season with chili powder to taste.
3) No meat? Add more beans (and/or cooked rice/grain).

Directions
Prepare cornbread mix according to directions on package, or make up a batch of batter.

Combine all the other ingredients except for the cheese. Mix thoroughly and spread into a 9 x 13-inch pan. Top with cheese, if you like, and then cornbread batter. Bake according to cornbread directions (everything else is already cooked, so you only have to heat up the filling and bake the topping).

Freezing
This can be frozen. It works best if you freeze the filling only and add the cornbread batter before baking. You can freeze it with the batter but the cornbread won't rise and you'll get a flat crust. It still tastes fine but the texture is less appealing.

Take it out of the freezer the night before (i.e. if you need it for Wednesday dinner, take it out to thaw on Tuesday night). I thaw on the counter instead of in the fridge since it's made of pre-cooked ingredients.

Girls Scout Chili

I am submitting this because although it may not sound “holiday”, it sure helped ours.

One year I was crazy busy making our usual traditional Thanksgiving feast. In our new little mobile home kitchen, that requires 3-4 days of juggling what gets cooked when since. In our hectic dance of preps, cooking and cleaning only to repeat several times, we ate whatever we could sample, pop in the mic, or spread on bread.

On one of these manic days, my daughter and hubby were complaining they would like something hot on such a damp cold day. I looked around, feeling overwhelmed told them..look..if you can do it in one pot, in 15 minutes, go ahead or make another sandwich. My daughter’s face lit up. “Ok Ma..I’ll make Girls Scout Chili!” She did and every year now..Girl Scout Chili is part of our holiday preps.

  • 1 jar any flavor spaghetti sauce
  • 1 lb. meat..ground or diced..turkey, beef, sausage, chicken etc
  • 3 cans of “Pork and Beans” or baked beans.

Cook meat, add sauce and beans. Eat.

Inspirational Story

Meaningless Goals
~author unknown~

A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around.  As soon as one came he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it.

One day a neighbor asked the farmer “Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car?”

The farmer replied, “That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one.”

Old joke with a meaningful moral:

Many people in life behave like that dog; they go about pursuing meaningless goals.

Set meaningful goals.  Then the work you do to achieve your goals will be just as meaningful.

Final Thought

That’s it for this edition of the Hillbilly Housewife Newsletter. I hope you’ve had as much fun reading it as I had creating it for you. I also hope that you have found the information helpful and useful. And by all means feel free to forward the newsletter to family and friends or even better, encourage them to subscribe to it.

Chili From Scratch

this makes about 4 servings but more if you like yours soupier. I make mine htick enough to stand a spoon in so mine yields a little less. this one is also easily doubled or tripled.

1 lb of dry pinto beans
1 lb ground turkey, beef, or pork
1 medium onion
1 bag of frozen corn or 2 cans of corn
2 cans of tomato paste
salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, and chili powder
chipotle flavored tabasco sauce
liquid smoke

the night before put your beans and dry seasonings into your crock pot with plenty of water. you need about 3 times the amount of water as you do beans. if you don’t feel all that technical about precisely measuring your water you can also do like me and “eyeball” it. stir it yup so you don’t get seasoning balls and put it on low. Go to bed. When you get up in the morning taste a bean. It is probably still not done so turn it up on high. Test the beans every half hour or so until they are tender but not mushy. drain off most of the water and return the beans to low. now add the 2 cans of tomato paste and 4 cans of water. brown or microwave your ground turkey and throw it in too. I grilled my onion but it works fine saute’d. In to the pot it goes too. throw the corn in frozen. it will thaw quickly. Then when everything chunky is in add salt, pepper, tabasco and liquid smoke to taste. Also if it is too thick add some more water. Let it simmer until thick and delicious. Serve hot with corn bread, over rice, on a hot dog, or wrapped in a tortillia. This is also good without meat. at under a dollar a serving it is also a nice filling meal on a tight budget.
