1 lb. sausage {I used Jimmy Dean’s- HOT}
1 can crescent rolls
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 green or red bell pepper, chopped
How to make it
Preheat oven to 375. Brown sausage & drain. {Daddy suggests adding the onion & bell pepper to the sausage while it’s browning…he doesn’t like crunchy veggies in his food} Spray a 9×13 with PAM & line with can of crescents.

Layer sausage on top of crescents…

…and if you didn’t add the onion & pepper to the sausage before, layer it on top now!

In a separate bowl, mix/beat 4 eggs, salt, & pepper. SO, I know the recipe called for a specific amount of salt and pepper, but I definitely fudged…a lot. I like a lot of pepper, so I added more & I’m pretty sure I was generous with the salt too. Daddy also suggested adding butter, so I added a couple of tablespoons for a DELICIOUS Paula Deen effect.
Top sausage/onion/pepper with 2 cups of cheese {it looks like I used colby & monterrey jack} and pour the egg evenly over the top.

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until cheese is brown/bubbly 🙂 I can seriously taste it.

Serve it warm, right outta the oven OR let it sit for about 30 minutes and cut it into breakfast bars. A breakfast keeper for sure and something I know would impress the in-laws 🙂
