Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pork sausage ground; we like the Jimmy Dean mild or medium in this recipe
  • 2 cups Cheddar shredded; divided
  • 10 Flour tortillas 10 inch "burrito" size
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp All purpose flour
  • 2 cups Half and Half
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • ½ cup Bacon crushed into pieces; can use store-bought "real" bacon bits if you have no freshly cooked bacon on hand; divided

Instructions

  • Spray a glass 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In medium skillet, cook sausage until brown and drain.
  • In large mixing bowl, mix cooked sausage, half of the cheese (one cup), the can of green chilies (if using), and half the bacon bits (¼ cup).
  • On a flat surface, lay out the tortillas one at a time and fill with two tablespoons of the sausage mixture.
  • Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking pan.
  • In a second mixing bowl, beat eggs, flour, half and half, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture over burritos.

To Bake Immediately

  • Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of cheese and ¼ cup of bacon bits.
  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Cover and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake another 10 minutes or until the top cheese is melted and the egg mixture surrounding the burritos appears firm.
  • Serve with mild salsa.

To Bake Later

  • Cover pan with lid or foil and refrigerate up to two days until ready to bake. At that point, follow the last five steps listed above (sprinkling with cheese and bacon step through the serving step).

Notes

The two outside enchiladas often get a little more crispy than the rest. You may want to drizzle some salsa or pop a little extra cheese over the edges right before pulling out of the oven.
