Breakfast Sausage Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 can biscuits or 15-20 tater tots (~170 g)
• 1 lb hot sausage
• 6 eggs
• ¾ C milk
• 2 C cheddar cheese (1 lb total, cheddar and pepper jack mix)

Directions

1. Liberally grease an 8x8 pan
2. Cut the biscuits into 6-8 pieces and add to the greased pan. If you're using tater tots, add them to the greased pan here.
3. Brown the sausage in a skillet, drain completely and spread evenly on the biscuits or tater tots
4. Beat eggs with milk, add salt and pepper to taste and pour over the sausage and biscuits.
5. Add cheese to the top and bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes. To see if it's done, check the middle of the pan.
6. Let casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving - great with salsa.

Chef's Notes

• I substituted tater tots because I didn't have canned biscuits and cut the amount of cheese in half - it was excellent
• Shredded Gruyere (~8 oz) is a good addition and adds nicely to the crust
• I added fish sauce to the egg seasoning and Louisiana hot sauce. You may also consider adding Colman's dry mustard for a little extra zing
