How to Make Creamy Sausage Enchiladas

  1. In a large skillet, crumble 1 lb Italian sausage and cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage and onions with 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 10 oz can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), and 1/2 cup milk or chicken broth. Mix until completely creamy and smooth.
  4. Spread a thin layer of 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans on each of 12 corn or flour tortillas.
  5. Top each tortilla with approximately 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture.
  6. Sprinkle each enchilada with 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  7. Roll up each enchilada tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Pour any remaining sausage mixture over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
  9. Top with the remaining shredded cheese (approximately 1 cup).
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. If baking from chilled, add an additional 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
  11. Garnish with fresh sliced jalapeños and diced tomatoes before serving.
