Start by cooking 1 pound of Tennessee Pride sausage in a skillet until browned but not fully cooked.

Add 1 cup diced onions, 1 cup green peppers, and 1 cup red peppers to the skillet and cook until tender.

Stir in 1 cup of mushrooms and cook until everything is combined and tender.

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder, then turn off the heat and set aside.

Prepare a casserole dish by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray and flouring the counter.

Unroll 1 sheet of crescent dough and roll it out to fit the casserole dish, ensuring it's thin and flaky.

Place the rolled dough into the casserole dish, pressing it up the sides and trimming any excess.

Spread the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the bottom of the dough.

In a separate bowl, beat 12 eggs with 1/4 cup of whole milk and pour the mixture over the sausage and vegetables.

Top the casserole with 1.5 cups of sharp cheddar cheese.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness of the eggs after 30 minutes.
