Tips for Making the Breakfast Beef Enchiladas

• We like to make ours in a 10 1/2” cast iron skillet, however, if you don’t have that size or don’t want to use your cast iron you could do it in an 8×8 pan.
• To save time, you could cook the sausage ahead of time, layering the ingredients and popping them in the oven.
• This dish reheats great in the microwave, so if you have leftovers, you are set for a leisurely breakfast the following day.
