This was an awesom recipe for us, it had all of our favorite ingredients. I had everything on hand so I didn't have to change alot of the recipe, however, for preference I cut the flour & butter back abit & increased the peppers. Lovely recipe, thanks for sharing.

This was an excellent Cheesy Breakfast Sausage and Egg Casserole. The jalapeno peppers gave it such a lovely taste. My whole family wants me to make it again. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This was awesome. I made it for Christmas breakfast, and everyone loved it. It was quick, easy, and it tasted great. This is a keeper!

We had this for the day after X-MAS with family staying over. I made it the night before w/o the bacon, and with a red pepper instead of green and it turned out great. I also made a seperate serving w/o meat for my niece in a pop out tart pan and the smaller serving cooked well and was pretty to serve.

This was very good. I left out the jalapeno because we had kids coming, but I think next time I will add it and let the kids eat something else if they don't like it! Do use good quality bacon and eggs--they make a difference! I used reduced fat cheddar cheese because that's what I bought by mistake, and it was fine. Overall, this is a good tasting recipe where you can do much of the preperation ahead of time. (Always appreciate those!)
