Mexican Black Bean Breakfast Bake
Serve this mexican breakfast casserole on its own, or wrap it in a tortilla for breakfast on the go!
Makes 8 servings
This delicious make-ahead Mexican Breakfast Casserole is a vegetarian twist on the traditional Christmas Morning “Wifesaver” breakfast and incorporates black beans and roasted red peppers. It can also make a quick and healthy Meatless Monday supper with leftovers for lunch. Provide salsa, guacamole and sour cream on the side. Leftovers can be wrapped in tortillas and either frozen or eaten during the week.
What You Need:
3 cups frozen hash browns
1 cup frozen corn
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 jar roasted red peppers, diced (370 mL)
1 small onion, diced and sauteed
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese (we used mozzarella)
8 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Cilantro to garnish (optional)
How You Prepare Mexican Breakfast Casserole
Combine hash browns, corn, beans, peppers and sauteed onion in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Sprinke shredded cheese over the top. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder and cayenne. Pour over hashbrown mixture.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake uncovered at 350F for approximately 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe sounds delicious the only thing is, id that I, cannot do spicy! Can you suggest an alternative to the cayenne pepper, thank you.
Hello Janet – the recipe will be great even without the cayenne pepper so you could just simply omit this if you don’t enjoy spicy foods. Happy cooking!
