Steps:
- 1. Drain the chilies, removing the seeds, and dry on paper towels. Brown sausage. Grate the cheeses and mix together. Reserve 3/4 cup of cheese in a small bowl. This will go on top of the casserole later, so you can place it in the refrigerator for now.
- 2. Spray 9 x 13 pan (or 3 qt casserole dish) with non-stick spray, layer 1/2 of the chilies, 1/2 of the sausage, 1/2 of the cheese, the remaining chilies, then the rest of the sausage and cheese. In medium bowl add the eggs add the milk (or 1/2 & 1/2), cheese soup, flour, salt and pepper, beating until well-mixed. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage, chilies and cheese. Bake at 300 for 1 hour. Then spread the red enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the reserved cheese you placed in the refrigerator. Bake 1/2 hour longer. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- To save time, use store-bought roasted green chiles. Look for them in the frozen foods section.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of baking. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let the casserole come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese.

This chile rellenos breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's perfect for a weekend brunch or a quick weekday breakfast. With its combination of eggs, cheese, roasted green chiles, and cornbread crumbs, this casserole is sure to please everyone at the table.
