   • In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, 1/3 cup milk, and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Stir until well combined.

2. Assemble the Base Layer:

   • Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 13×9 inch baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly. Set aside.

3. Cook the Sausage and Onions:

   • In a skillet, cook the bulk pork sausage and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is browned and the onions are tender, breaking up the sausage as it cooks. Drain excess grease thoroughly.

4. Layer the Sausage Mixture:

   • Spread the cooked sausage and onion mixture evenly over the biscuit base in the baking dish.

5. Prepare the Cheese and Chile Topping:

   • In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, egg, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and chopped green chilies. Mix until well blended.

6. Layer the Cheese and Chile Mixture:

   • Spread the cheese and chile mixture evenly over the sausage layer in the baking dish.

7. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled dish for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dish is heated through.

8. Rest and Serve:

   • Allow the Sausage-Chile Squares to stand for about 5 minutes before cutting into squares for serving. This helps the squares to set and makes them easier to serve.

9. Enjoy:

   • Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or main dish for a potluck, brunch, or any gathering where savory comfort food is appreciated.
