For this breakfast skillet mac and cheese, baked breakfast eggs nestle in a bed of mac and cheese with sausage. And the best part? It cooks completely in the skillet - no extra pot to boil the pasta necessary.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 box macaroni and cheese mix
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce , such as Cholula
Instructions

Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, crumbling with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add in macaroni, milk, water, and powdered cheese packet and stir, using a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is just tender and mixture is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Turn off heat.

Sweet Braided Easter Bread
This sweet braided Easter bread is made with eggs, orange zest, and anise egg wash for an "eggstra" special flavor! It's a slightly sweet bread good by itself or toasted, especially with coffee or tea. You can even use it for French toast or bread pudding. I make this every year for my family at Easter — a special treat they look forward to once a year. The colored eggs are great fun, too, and add to your holiday decor.
