I love breakfast casserole's but this was actually my first try at making one myself. It calls for chorizo but I used regular hamburger meat. You can use whatever your family loves, make it as spicy or cheesy as you want. I made this casserole to take over to Dad's today. He had two servings, I think he liked it :)
4 links Mexican Chorizo (or a lb of hamburger)
