To be totally honest with yall, I hate making breakfast during the week. That's why this Whole30 Mexican Breakfast Casserole is my new best friend! Making this casserole at the beginning of the week to have ready during the week is amazing.
When Brent, my husband, and I did our first Whole30 three years ago, I literally made scrambled eggs every morning. How boring is that? I got so burnt out with eggs but couldn't think of any other Whole30 breakfast ideas. That's how this Whole30 Mexican Breakfast Casserole recipe was born! I also have another Whole30 breakfast casserole recipe which I like to keep in rotation, Easy Spinach and Tomato Breakfast Casserole.
I love doing my meal prep on Mondays, which is my day off. This casserole is pretty easy to whip up and it's always a hit with my husband. I call that a win-win!
The ingredients in this casserole are simple and flavorful. I love using this Whole Foods Organic Medium Salsa in this recipe. It's Whole30 compliant and tastes amazing! You can also add some meat to this recipe if you're feeling up for it. I will sometimes add my Easy Breakfast Sausage to this and it just takes it up a notch! Also, in my opinion, these casserole squares aren't complete without a little hot sauce!
