Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Casserole

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 can refrigerated biscuits , 16.3 ounce
• 1 pound pork sausage
• 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Line prepared baking dish with the biscuits, pressing to form an even layer.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (Leave the oven door open for a bit to let the oven cool down.)

4. 4

   Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage to skillet; cook and stir until fully cooked and browned, about 10 minutes; drain fat.

5. 5

   Sprinkle cooked sausage and cheese evenly over baked biscuits.

6. 6

   Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour egg mixture over sausage and cheese. (The egg mixture won't cover the cheese and sausage at this point, but will expand as it bakes.)

7. 7

   Bake until casserole is set and internal temperature registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 25 minutes.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
