(15-ounce) jar red or green salsa (approx. 2 cups)

1
(15-ounce) can black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
·
2/3
cup whole-kernel corn, frozen or canned
·
1
teaspoon ground cumin
·

1/3
cup milk

INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Heat
oven to 400°F. Lightly mist a 9 x
13-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
2. Cook
the sausage in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until browned, crumbling
the sausage as it cooks. Use a slotted
spoon to transfer the sausage to a clean plate, reserving a tablespoon or so of
grease in the sauté pan. (Or if there is
no grease remaining, add a tablespoon of oil to the pan.)
3.
Add
the onion and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until
softened. Add the garlic and sauté for
1-2 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
4.
Add
in the salsa, beans, corn, cumin, salt, cooked sausage, and stir until the
mixture is completely combined. Remove
pan from the heat, and set aside.
5. In
a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until evenly combined; set
aside.
6.
Alright,
time to layer up all of the ingredients!
Layer half of the tortillas in an even layer in the bottom of the baking
dish. Then top evenly with half of the
sausage mixture, half of the egg mixture, and half of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortillas,
sausage mixture, egg mixture and cheese.
7.
Cover
the dish with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes*, or until the center of the
casserole is cooked through and no longer jiggly (or when a toothpick inserted
in the center of the casserole comes out clean).
8. Transfer
baking dish to a wire cooling rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Then sprinkle with your desired toppings,
slice and serve warm!
NOTES
*Sausage:
Any good-quality ground sausage would work great here! You could use breakfast sausage, Italian
sausage, Mexican chorizo, or whatever you have on hand. Pork, beef, chicken or vegan sausage would
all be great!
*Cheesy
Topping: If you want the cheese on top of the casserole to be a bit crispier,
just uncover the casserole during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
