CHORIZO BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray or grease a 3-quart baking dish with baking spray.
• De-case your chorizo if you haven't already. We want ground chorizo, not slices of chorizo.
• Cook chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat until brown, breaking into small pieces with a spoon or spatula, about 5 minutes. Add in the onion and cook to soften the onions.
• Sprinkle arrowroot over sausage, stirring to coat, then add in 1 1/2 cups milk or coconut milk. Cook until mixture thickens and comes to boil, stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes. Add plenty of fresh black pepper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and add remaining milk, salt, and pepper.
• In a baking dish, spread hashbrowns evenly, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Top with the onion/chorizo mixture, then egg mixture.
• Bake 45-50 minutes, and serve.

CHORIZO HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Using a box grater or shredding blade of a food processor, shred the potatoes. Rinse until the water is clear. Drain. Dump the shredded potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze to remove all excess water. Add the shredded potato into a large mixing bowl along with the flour and eggs. Mix well.
• Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking any lumps, until it begins to crumble and is cooked through. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chorizo-onion mixture to the shredded potatoes. Mix to combine.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is sizzling hot, place the mixture in separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer hash browns to a paper-lined plate and drain. Season with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and serve immediately.
