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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and cumin until fully combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the picante sauce evenly over the top of the mixture. Use a spoon to gently spread it so it covers the surface evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish, followed by the chopped green onions.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
