Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown sausage and ground beef, breaking up meat as it cooks.
- Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender.

- Add browned meat mixture then top with remaining chilies; set aside.
- Beat together eggs and flour until smooth; add milk, salt, and Tabasco or cayenne pepper.
- Pour egg mixture over casserole.
- Bake, uncovered, in a 350F oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted around the center comes out clean.
