Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 1.5 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese, then evenly distribute the drained and rinsed black beans, followed by chopped green chiles. Top with frozen shredded hash browns.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and milk. Add salt and pepper, whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Gently shake the dish to settle layers.
  5. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
