Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1.5 cups picante sauce
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked sausage aside.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters and place the pieces evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and cumin until fully combined.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and biscuits, making sure all the biscuits are coated.
Pour the picante sauce evenly over the top of the mixture. Use a spoon to gently spread it so it covers the surface evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish, followed by the chopped green onions.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the biscuits are golden, and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
