Preparation

Step 1

The night before, grease a 9 x 13” casserole; layer 1/2 the chilies, 1/2 the corn tortillas, 1/2 the cooked sausage, and 1/2 the cheese. Repeat layers. In a medium sized bowl, beat milk, eggs, salt, garlic salt, onion salt, cumin and pepper. Pour over casserole ingredients. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Hooray – it’s the following day, and you’re ready! Preheat oven to 350F. Place tomatoes over top of casserole. Bake 1 hour, or until set in center and slightly browned at edges. Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Pass the salsa and sour cream. Serve with a tray of sliced fresh fruit. Magnifico!
