Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 11x7-inch baking pan.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the bulk sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess grease.
  3. Season the sausage with salt and pepper to taste, then spread it evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  4. Top the sausage layer with the chopped green onions and grated mozzarella cheese.
  5. In a blender or large bowl, combine the milk, Bisquick, sour cream, and eggs. Blend or whisk until smooth and well-combined.
  6. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the sausage, onion, and cheese layers.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Note

Storage: Cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

Substitutions: You can use cheddar or provolone cheese instead of mozzarella for a sharper flavor. Ground turkey or chicken can replace the sausage for a lighter version.

Tips: Ensure the batter is fully liquid before pouring to ensure even cooking. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.

Variations: Add cooked bell peppers or spinach to the sausage layer for extra vegetables.
