Pin This RecipeSausage & Rotel Quiche Recipe
We love quiche at our house. It is super easy to make and tastes great. This Southwestern Sausage Quiche is one of our favorites! Quiche loaded with sausage and Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles. YUM! I made this for lunch last week and we devoured the whole thing in no time flat! Next time I will make two quiches so we can have leftovers.
How to Make Southwestern Sausage Quiche
This dish is super easy to make. Start with cooking some sausage. Spread the sausage in the bottom of a pie crust. Top the sausage with cheese and some Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles. Whisk together taco seasoning, eggs, milk, sour cream, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage in the pie crust and bake.
- I used Jimmy Dean sausage in this recipe.
- You can use any type of cheese that you prefer.
- Here is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/
- I did not thaw or prebake the crust prior to adding the filling.
- Is Southwestern Sausage Quiche spicy? We did not think this dish was spicy. If you are worried about the heat, use a can of Mild Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles.
- Can quiche be made in advance? Yes! You can assemble the quiche and refrigerate it overnight. I like to make the filling and pour it into the crust right before baking.
- Can sausage quiche be frozen? Yes! You can freeze the quiche baked or unbaked.
- To freeze the baked quiche, let the quiche thaw completely and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. The quiche will keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
- To freeze the unbaked quiche, assemble the quiche and transfer it to the freezer. Once the quiche is frozen, tightly wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. To bake, thaw completely, and bake as directed.

This was a no brainer to double: pie crust comes in 2 pack and 1/2 can rotel each. I was going to freeze one but hubby said “no way I’m eating both of these”. He had some for breakfast every day.
I have a family get together for lunch tomorrow and how can I put this in a 9×13 casserole dish?
Made this with chorizo instead of sausage for our Christmas brunch and everyone loved it, especially grandpa! Gonna have to keep this one 🙂
SO glad it was a hit!
Am I crazy or did this recipe used to have ranch dressing? I have made it several times but when I looked it up today it seems to be a different list of ingredients. Still looks tasty though!
I did change the recipe. Here is the original:
1/2 pound sausage
1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 can (10-oz) Rotel tomatoes, drained
2 eggs
1/4 cup Ranch dressing
1/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup milk
1( 9-inch) unbaked deep dish pie shell
