SAUSAGE TORTILLA BREAKFAST BAKE

Sausage Tortilla Breakfast Bake image

This casserole is perfect for a special brunch. It combines the spices of the Southwest with the comfort of a hearty breakfast. You can spice it up by adding cayenne and hot peppers, or mellow it by replacing the tomatoes and green chilies with mild salsa. It's versatile and easy-no wonder it's a longtime family favorite. -Darlene Buerger, Peoria, Arizona
