Congrats to Flemania Negron on winning the "Tickle Our Taste Buds" for our Christmas Meeting. She brought us a little culture with her amazing Kicked Up Casserole.
Kicked Up Casserole
Ingredients
8 eggs
2 cups milk
half a green pepper (or any pepper on hand or scallions would be great to and cheaper )
salt about a tsp
1/2 packet of sazon (found in international isle its a Spanish spice I use in almost everything)
1 cup of cheddar
1 lb of chorizo (its a Portuguese sausage that my aunts ship to me from Boston every month)
a good substitute is " gaspars linguica " found at harris teeter only near other sausages ..the Mexican chorizo is NOT a good substitute it tasted much different
4 slices white bread ...cubed ...any sliced bread is fine
1tsp of "calda de pimenta" this is a spice also shipped from Boston but you can sub. a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or some hot sauce
brown sausage .. if using " gaspars linguica be sure to remove casing and place in food processor to grind up ... which is what I do
add green pepper to saute
let cool
beat eggs milk spices and add cheese and bread to egg mixture
place in a buttered dish 13x9
place in cold oven at 350 about 45 min ...mine took closer to 55 min to get the right color
