Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the Bisquick, milk, and 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise to form a soft dough. Press this evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
3. In a skillet, cook the sausage and chopped onion over medium heat until the sausage is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
4. Spread the cooked sausage and onion mixture evenly over the Bisquick crust.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the remaining 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Stir in the grated cheese and the drained green chilies.
6. Carefully spread this cheese and egg mixture over the sausage layer.
7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
8. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares to serve.
9. This dish can be made ahead and reheated, or frozen and reheated later.
