Breakfast Casserole

Simple and Satisfying Breakfast Casserole

8 oz. can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 pound breakfast sausage (not link style) in the flavor of your choice
5 large eggs
1/4 C milk or water
1/4-1/2 tsp salt, to taste
1/2 C finely grated cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brown the sausage in a small skillet over medium heat until no pink remains.

While sausage browns, open the can of roll dough. Press the dough down evenly across the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 pan. Don't leave any gaps!

Drain sausage if necessary, and sprinkle it evenly over the raw dough. 

Beat together eggs, milk or water, and salt to taste. Pour over the sausage. Tilt the pan slightly as needed for even coverage. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes, until the eggs are set and top is slightly browned. Serve hot!
