The casserole turned out amazing! Instead of using sausage, I opted for 1.5 lbs of bacon and also added three green onions to the mix. I prepared it the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight. Baked at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, with the first 15 minutes covered. I brought it to a church breakfast, and it was a hit! I will definitely be making this again.

This casserole recipe was a great success! After reading other reviews, I made a few adjustments and it turned out fantastic. I used 8 oz of chorizo, added 1/2 cup of milk, used 14 eggs instead of 12, and included 1/2 finely chopped onion that I sautéed. I usually use more chorizo, but I opted for a milder flavor this time. I also substituted sheepherders bread for white bread (4 slices, they are large). I mixed all the ingredients together before pouring them into the baking dish. I cooked it in an Advantium oven, so I can't provide exact baking times for a regular oven, but it turned out perfectly. The casserole was a hit and fed 9 people, with some even going back for seconds and no leftovers.

I cooked it using a pound of beef and half a pound of turkey bacon, all browned together in a skillet. It was really delicious and cooked up very quickly.

The cooking and baking times provided in this recipe are inaccurate. However, if you bake it for an extended period, the end result is quite delicious. Preparing the sausage or bacon takes more than the suggested 10 minutes, so be ready to invest some extra time. Personally, I prefer prepping it at night, refrigerating it overnight to allow the flavors to meld, and baking it the next morning. I found that covering it with foil for 20 minutes and then baking uncovered for an additional 20 minutes yielded perfect results. I opted for 12 ounces of bacon instead of sausage and reduced the cheese by half, resulting in a very flavorful dish. I will definitely be making it this way again.

The dish turned out fantastic! We decided to incorporate shallots and opted for turkey sausage. What I appreciate is that this recipe doesn't require an 8-hour resting time before baking, unlike my previous egg casserole recipe. Due to being at a high elevation, we adjusted the oven temperature up by 25 degrees. I will definitely be making this again.
