SOUTHWEST SAUSAGE BAKE

This layered tortilla dish is not only delicious, but it's a real timesaver because it's put together the night before. The tomato slices provide a nice touch of color. I like to serve this crowd-pleasing casserole with muffins and fresh fruit. -Barbara Waddel, Lincoln, Nebraska
