Very good and easy as written. I had to bake for 30 minutes. Next time, I would cook the sausage with onions, green peppers and mushrooms instead of green chilies.

We like the recipe as is, but next time I'm going to add onion and mushroom(fresh never caned) when cooking the sausage then drain well on on paper towels pat dry. Then spoon mixture over muffin and add more cheese like pepper jack YUMMMMMMM!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"04\/26\/2011 13:24","GUID":"BB363CCF01E6451A90685AEFF065723A","MemberId":659489,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bnrudy","SubmittedDate":"04\/26\/2011 13:24"},{"Comment":"

This was really good and HEARTY! Maybe I will try with cooked sausage patty next time as it will fit perfectly on the English muffin. But, there's not a thing wrong with this recipe!

My family likes to eat breakfast foods for dinner sometimes. Knowing that I was not going to be home last evening, and it would just be my daughter and husband, I thought I would give this recipe a try. My husband said it was so good, he ate the entire casserole himself! I couldn't find green chilies anywhere in our grocery store, so I substituted diced jalepenos for them. Guess it worked!<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"08\/15\/2010 09:25","GUID":"d1a0a4f91ae24a07b90047a2f3d5d01e","MemberId":3289667,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Hoagiemstr","SubmittedDate":"08\/15\/2010 09:25"},{"Comment":"

This was very good. I like these prepare ahead recipes that I can just pop in the oven the next morning. I will more than likely make it at least once a month. I used the turkey breakfast sausage rather than pork.

I'm keeping this recipe. Southwest? I don't think the name fits really...it was hardly a Southwest dish. Anyway... it got 5 stars because it was easy and my husband liked it. What I'm going to like even more is how I can change it up. I can see now this recipe can be modified to meet any taste I'm in the mood for.
