1

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning now and then, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the sausage to the bacon grease and cook until crumbly and brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sausage to the plate with the bacon, then pour off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings.
2

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the onion, garlic, and one can of green chiles. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 10 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl with the liquid smoke, hot pepper sauce, seasoned salt, white pepper, parsley, and basil until smooth.
4

Crumble the bacon, then stir the bacon and sausage into the eggs along with the remaining can of green chiles, hash browns, and the cooked onions. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and stir until evenly combined.
5

Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon the hash brown mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
6

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
7

Bake the covered dish in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
8

Remove the casserole from the oven, uncover it, and sprinkle pepper Jack and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly on top. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese in the shape of a cross and outline it with the black olives. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes more.
