Breakfast Enchiladas

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"Start this breakfast casserole the night before. Serve with salsa and a side fruit salad to start your morning with something special. Originally from a November 2006 issue of Southern Living. For a change, substitute ground pork sausage, either mild or spicy, for the ham. Prep time does not include chill or standing time."

This is a great recipe. The green onions add a great flavor, but they can get really strong so add to your particular taste. Thank you for posting this! I am in the process of moving and my recipe box is packed. We have been making this recipe for years and I was so glad to be able to find it re-posted here so we can make it for dinner tonight!

Yummy, yummy, yummy. This was a perfect way for me to use up some tortillas that had been in the fridge for awhile. Very simple to put together. I skipped the overnight refrigeration because I wanted it yesterday, but this would be a great "make-ahead" recipe for breakfast. You could really play with this recipe and mix up the ingredients. Made for A Day in Bargain Basement 2011. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe!
