Chorizo Bake

While making supper last night I was going for my normal sausage and potato skillet, but found that the chorizo was a bit too spicy for Kelsie. She isn't that fond of spice. I told Zack "I'll make a casserole!", and he let me know real quick that I couldn't make everything into a casserole. Ha! I fooled him. I turned this dish into a casserole, and it was too amazing not to share with y'all!
