Yield:
1 10x9-inch baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package bulk pork sausage with sage

  • 6 flour tortillas, cut into 1-inch squares

  • 4 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies

  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 10 eggs

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

  • ½ teaspoon onion salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 2 tomatoes (or to taste), sliced

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

  2. Grease a 10x9-inch baking dish. Layer half the tortilla pieces into the bottom of the prepared dish; top with 2 cans green chilies, half the cooked sausage, and half the cheese, respectively. Repeat layering.

  3. Beat eggs, milk, salt, garlic salt, onion salt, black pepper, and cumin together in a bowl; pour over the layers in the baking dish.

  4. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

  5. Remove dish from refrigerator and let warm at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  7. Bake the casserole bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Arrange a layer of tomato slices atop the casserole and continue baking until a knife inserted into the middle of the casserole comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let casserole cool 10 minutes before cutting.
