Hearty Football Sunday Breakfast: Sausage & Egg Enchilladas

Today I made the most flavorful breakfast ever or call me very hungry but either way it was to die for and easy.  Although I did heat up the white sauce to melt the cheese I don't think that is necessary so next time I'll just whisk it together and pour it over the enchiladas.  I had leftover Salsa Verde from a recipe I got from a friend leftover from fish taco night.  You can see that post on my FoodieAGoGo Facebook page which I am testing out.  It was the perfect accompaniment along with Greek yogurt which you can substitute with sour cream.  Since I always have Greek yogurt on hand I never buy sour cream anymore.  To me I think it substitutes perfectly, it is better for you and one less condiment I have to buy.   If you don't make the salsa verde recipe you can use any jarred or homemade salsa.  I haven't tried the vegetarian version but it is an option.

½ C. red bell pepper, chopped
