How to make a Sausage and Crescent Roll Casserole

breakfast sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while providing similar texture.

crescent roll dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crescent dough

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat adds fiber without sacrificing taste.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories and can be used for moisture.

Brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a skillet until fully cooked.

Lay out a layer of crescent roll dough in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of milk and 8 large eggs.

Set the egg mixture aside.

Use a slotted spatula to remove excess grease from the cooked sausage and set aside.

Sprinkle about 2 cups of mozzarella cheese over the crescent roll dough in the pan.

Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and sausage, ensuring it soaks down.

Season the top with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
