Grand Prize Winner — Los Angeles, Calif. Tillamook Cheese Recipe Contest 2001. Submitted by Angeles Martinez, Los Angeles, Calif.

Instructions:

Fry the sausage in a teaspoon of cooking oil until browned.  Add the chile and sliced onion.  Immediately add the tomatoes mixed with the salt, pepper and broth.  Leave on burner to allow flavors to blend. Take sausage mixture off the heat and add the heavy cream, then let it set.

Heat a frying pan with oil until hot and quickly fry the tortillas, removing them just when they soften.

Place a layer of 6 tortillas, two-by-two, in the casserole dish (or mold).  Add the salsa mixture, then a layer of monterey jack cheese, followed by another layer of tortillas, salsa and cheese again, until all ingredients have been used. 

Cover the dish with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
