A lot of meals around my house start out with “oh hey, looks like those peppers have two days left to live.” Then I remember I have some olives leftover from a casserole I made…and some sausage left over from breakfast yesterday… you catch my drift. Plus, here’s an amazing tip. Don’t ever let your freezer be caught without a puff pastry in it. Some good pastry dough comes in handy all the time.  There you go, don’t say I never gave you nothin! 😉

Anyways, I had one of those lucky days that I had just all the right ingredients I needed on hand, and boy was it delicious! I hope your family enjoyed this tasty Tex-Mex breakfast casserole!
