Longhorn brunch casserole

My sister Barbara made this amazing breakfast casserole for us when we were visiting her in CA this last summer. It was so yummy that I thought you would all want it!

1 Lb. Jimmy Dean regular or hot sausage
2-4 oz. can green chilies
1 lb. longhorn cheese, grated
1 lb. monterey Jack cheese, grated
9 eggs beaten
1 cup milk
2 TB flour
paprika

Brown sausage and drain well on paper towels. In a lightly greased 9X13 pyrex baking dish, layer sausage with cheese and chilies. Combine eggs, milk, and fllour in a food processor or blender. Pour over sausage, etc. in pan. Sprinkle with paprika and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Serves 10-12
The thing that was cool about this was that there were only four of us and so we ate it for several days, just warming up a square in the microwave. So you could even make the whole batch and then freeze it in small squares and just have it once in awhile for a special breakfast treat. It is different than the bread one we all have, a nice change.
