I stole this recipe for Sunrise Sausage Enchiladas from tasteofhome.com who stole it from Deb LeBlanc from Phillipsburg, Kansas. These breakfast enchiladas are prepared the night before serving. Shredded hash browns are browned in a skillet. Next cooked breakfast sausage is added to the potatoes with seasonings, green chiles and shredded cheese. This mixture is placed on tortillas and rolled up. Then the tortillas placed in a baking pan and topped with enchilada sauce and refrigerated. The next morning the enchilada are baked for 30 minutes, then topped with more cheese and baked until the cheese is melted and golden. These enchiladas are so good you won’t notice there are no eggs in the recipe.
