2 tbsp. Butter or margarine; softened
1 lb. Bulk pork sausage
1 (4-oz.) can chopped green chiles; drained

Spread cut side of each muffin with 1 tsp. butter, and place, buttered side down, in a lightly greased 13x9x2-in. baking dish.

Cook sausage in a skillet until browned, stirring to crumble; drain. Layer half of each - sausage, chiles, and cheese over muffins. Combine sour cream and eggs; pour over casserole. Repeat layers with remaining sausage, chiles, and cheese; cover and refrigerate 8 hours.
