Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• nonstick cooking spray
• 6 large eggs
• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 0.25 cup chopped onion

• 0.5 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup cream cheese
• 0.75 cup low-fat milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with crescent roll dough, pinching perforated seams together.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring sausage, bell pepper, onions, and green onions in the skillet until sausage is brown and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove any extra oil from the pan. Stir in cream cheese and black pepper. Cook until cream cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Spread sausage-cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over top. Beat eggs and milk together and pour over cheese.

Step 4

Bake casserole in the preheated oven until bottom browns, cheese melts, and eggs set in center, about 30 minutes.
