Ingredients

• Makes: 4
• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 1 4-ounce can chopped mild green chilies
• 4 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Saute sausage in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown, breaking up clumps with back of spoon, about 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to 8X8X2 –inch glass baking dish or other ovenproof pan. Mix chopped green chilies, 3 Tbsp cilantro and hot sauce into sausage. Sprinkle cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, then remaining 1 Tbsp cilantro over sausage mixture. Bake casserole 10 minutes.
