Chorizo and egg breakfast casserole with potatoes, bell peppers, onions and cheese. An easy and hearty breakfast that is perfect for holidays, brunch and potlucks.

Growing up in New England chorizo is a staple here. Today I am going to share with you one of my favorite dishes chorizo and egg casserole. This breakfast casserole is made with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, peppers onions and cheese.

Chorizo and potatoes are often served together so why not add eggs and call it breakfast. Where I grew up in South Eastern Massachusetts there is a large Portuguese community. Which means chorizo and linguica are very popular and a big part of my upbringing.
