Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 7 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed (20 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  4. Preheat oven to 375°. Remove enchiladas from the refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake, uncovered, until lightly browned and heated through, an additional 10-15 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.
