1 onion
1 red bell pepper
16 oz refrigerated biscuits canned
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound breakfast sausage
8 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups colby jack cheese shredded, divided
2 tablespoons green onions chopped

Instructions

Get prepped: Dice 1 onion and 1 red bell pepper (medium dice). Cut 16 oz refrigerated biscuits into quarters, and preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
Cook the sausage and veggies: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain any grease. Add the diced1 onion and1 red bell pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Mix together the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Assemble the casserole: Place biscuit pieces in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add a little 2 cups colby jack cheese over the top of the biscuits. Top with the sausage and veggie mixture. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuits and sausage. Sprinkle the remaining2 cups colby jack cheese over the top.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Serve: Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons green onions before serving.

Notes

Cut the biscuits evenly so they bake consistently.
Don’t skip browning the sausage. It adds a ton of flavor.
Use pre-shredded cheese to save time, but freshly shredded melts better.
Let it rest 5 to 10 minutes after baking for easier slicing.
Want heat? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use spicy sausage.
