1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. Chorizo or pork sausage
1 c. onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 cans (4 oz. each) whole green chilies, drained and seeded
2 c. shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
4 eggs
1/4 c. flour, unsifted
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
Tabasco sauce to taste (optional)

In large skillet, crumble together the beef and Chorizio or sausage. Brown. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is limp. Drain off fat.

Line a 9x9 baking dish with half the chilies; top with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Add the meat mixture and top with remaining chilies. Set aside.

Beat together eggs and flour until smooth; add milk, salt and Tabasco. Blend well. Pour the egg mixture over casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
