Reviews
My daughter really likes to try new recipes. I’m usually not a breakfast person but this can be made for a snack, appetizer or a side dish. To be honest I didn’t think I would like it but it was absolutely amazing. Not to mention it was simple, cheap and quick which is always a plus. I think it tastes like biscuits and gravy. And another plus is the kids loved it as well.
Loved this recipe Yoly! And I was a tiny bit skeptical; a breakfast-themed bake with no eggs? But it was awesome! Must-must use the Jimmy Dean’s Hot sausage. I also used cream cheese due to convenience and availability and added a mix of sharp cheddar and shredded pepper Jack. While not needed, I also added a minced red bell pepper before it went bad and half a sweet onion to the sausage sauté. A hit at this household! Served with eggs cooked to order and side of salsa/hot sauce. Plan to double and make again for an upcoming Palm Sunday brunch we have. Thanks for sharing this!
My family loves this so much we have it for dinner sometimes
