A hearty Dutch Oven Breakfast Casserole. Easy and cheesy. Everything you’d expect in a casserole dish like this, a one pot meal that’s great for a hearty breakfast to feed a crowd.
Is there any noise in the kitchen more satisfying than the sound pasta makes when you’re stirring it together with saucy ingredients? Those ingredients for this Mexican Breakfast Casserole include egg noodles, sausage, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, milk, Hatch chile peppers, tomato, avocado….all baked into a creamy treat.
Rude awakening. We had our first Summer snow storm last Thursday. Wednesday night we went to bed with temps in the 70’s and woke up Thursday morning with low hanging thick clouds that decided to drop some icy snow to stick on our green grass, trees and rooftops.
Oh, it didn’t amount to much according to Colorado standards, but it was a shock to our flip-flopped feet. Absolutely perfect excuse to drag out the pasta, the cheese and the casserole dish. Side note, we’ve been back in the 80’s ever since this little front moved on through.
This is a breakfast casserole with cream of mushroom soup
This is a great one-dish Dutch oven breakfast meal.
I cooked the egg noodles on the stovetop according to package instructions in my 3.5 qt. Le Creuset French Oven.
While they cooked I browned some breakfast sausage with chopped onion and bell pepper. I sliced up some tomatoes and roasted Hatch chile peppers and dug around in my newly organized pantry and found a “cream of” soup. Which happened to be cream of mushroom soup. Perfect!
Here’s how it went together:
After the noodles were drained and back in the Dutch oven, I simply topped them with everything that was to go in the casserole.
Even two whole eggs, which I should have lightly beaten, but was feeling frivolous.
After a good stir to make sure all ingredients mixed together evenly, I popped the pan into a 350 degree oven for about thirty minutes until everything was nice and bubbly.
This is everything you expect in a breakfast casserole of this type.
Creamy and cheesy in texture, spicy with Fall flavors of Hatch green chile and chile powder, savory with sausage and sweet with tomatoes and orange bell pepper. Topped with chopped avocado and homemade salsa, we definitely had seconds…and thirds.

Wow! This recipe looks amazing! Printing it out as I type. I just finished cleaning, bagging and freezing my roasted green chiles. Two bushel for $30 off I-70 and Sheridan. I’m now debating whether the 4 bushel will get me through our winter consumption….especially after seeing your recipe! Thanks for sharing!!
Wow! Printing this out as I type Ü I just got my roasted green chiles all cleaned, bagged and ready for winter consumption. Two bushel for $30 off I-70 and Sheridan….I don’t think four bushel will hold me, though Ö Can’t wait to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This is going on my list of things to make with the bounty of green chiles we’ve got. Sausage, egg, and chiles? Heck yes!
Yay for chiles.
This looks delightful! Welcome to almost Fall and the beautiful crisp air ( sometimes snow) weather.
Our feet sre still flip-flopped and will be well into October (sigh) here in north Florida.
Velva
I’ll soon be envious of your warm temperatures Velva. I fear we’re going to have a very snowy Winter season.
I loved our burst of cold weather!! I was all excited 🙂 As you know, I’m not much for hot weather!
This looks wonderful Lea Ann! Perfect for our fall temps, though lately it’s been a bit hot for fall, personally!
I’m in your neck of the woods almost every Sat, come and see me one day.
Take care xx
I’m loving all of this rain last night and this morning. We’re really getting a lush treat this season. Nice to hear from you Nazneen.
This looks wonderful. We must have been channeling some sort of spicy breakfast spirit because I did a spicy breakfast idea this week!
We’re probably a week or so away from our first snow! Yikes! Where did the summer go???
We’ve got some warm temps predicted for this next week, but I’m afraid you’re right. It’s right around the corner.
Snow already? I am so not ready for cold weather! This would be the perfect breakfast to wake up to though.
Yup, snow! Too early and I want to relish in all this lush Summer rainy weather.
Very creative Lea Ann! Looks so delicious! I want to come over for breakfast now!!!
You’re always invited!
This looks like the perfect comfort food to face our changing weather. That dip in temps last week prompted me to make spaghetti and meatballs- so good- somehow pasta dishes were just what the weather called for!
We thought it was perfect. That cold weather had me grabbing for the pasta. Thanks Holly.
Just wanted to let you know I printed this out so this is happening! Think we’re doing for breakfast for dinner – cannot wait for this!
Thanks Pamela! Let me know how you like it.
Lee Ann, I love Mexican and breakfast. But does this dish have to be limited to breakfast?!
Heck NO! 🙂
It has been pretty chilly here also with morning temps in the upper 30s to low 40s. Not good for tomato ripening, that’s for sure! Your breakfast casserole sounds so warm and delicious – perfect for an autumn day!
Susan, I’m still nursing along tomatoes that hopefully will ripen over this week. We’re back in a heat wave for now.
Thanks Ansh.
What a comforting breakfast and it looks colorful and delicious. I can’t believe it snowed and now it’s back in the eighties. Wow, Mother Nature is being naughty.
Sam
Mother Nature is simply being ornery! But what a great excuse for a breakfast casserole. Thanks Sam.
Great brunch recipe. Snow seriously. I haven’t talked to my SiL (live outside Boulder) so I had now idea about the snow. We had a great fall day yesterday, but back to summer temps today, I believe.
Did I ever tell you my Sister lives in Tulsa? We’ll have to talk about that someday.
That looks super good Lea Ann. Snow!!! I’m just glad it’s out of the 90’s
Yup, it snowed. And it was like that for two days! We did get a frost but all outdoor plants survived.
Nice recipe for that very yuckky day. Hopefully we are going to have a good Indian summer. By the way, that oven is way too clean!
Don’t you love that oven? Our new house is one year old and I don’t think the guy ever used it. LOVE that. 🙂
Hi Lea Ann, what a great casserole, such a comforting dish, ready for the cold weather.
Thanks Cheri.
Well yum! We have had some chilly mornings but no snow in the valleys so far. Still it has brought on the comfort food cravings. This looks like a nice dinner,too. And is that a brand new shiny oven I see?
Our new house is one year old and I think the guy who lived here never used it (bachelor) I LOVE that. 🙂 And plus I have double ovens. LOVE that. 🙂 One of these days I’ll post a photo of the kitchen.
