My family loves anything with a southwestern flavor, so I turned classic chiles rellenos into a breakfast casserole. They became fans in an instant. —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

This is a very good recipe. I did a couple tweaks because of what I had on hand, like pepperjack in place of the mexican blend cheese and homemade salsa for jarred. Nothing major. I also used chorizo, since it gave that as an option in place of plain sausage. It was still missing zing for us. It says salt to taste and even though other items have a lot of flavor, the potatoes are bland and really need a good amount. I also added a couple jalapenos to the leftovers and that made the dish. Of course, if you don't like spicy foods like us, you will probably love it as written. :)
