Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Cook the Sausage

   Cook 1 pound of pork sausage in a pan over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

2. 2.Grate the Cheese

   Grate about 2 cups of Colby Jack cheese and set aside.

3. 3.Prepare Egg Mixture

   Crack 10 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of milk and whisk until well combined and frothy.

4. 4.Prepare Biscuit Dough (Dry Ingredients)

   In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Mix well with a whisk to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

5. 5.Add Butter to Dough

   Grate 6 tablespoons of cold butter directly into the dry flour mixture. Gently mix with a spoon or spatula until the butter is evenly distributed and coated with flour.

6. 6.Add Milk to Dough

   Pour 1 cup of whole milk into the flour and butter mixture. Mix without overworking the dough until just combined and moist. The dough should be sticky but not overly wet.

7. 7.Prepare Baking Dish

   Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

8. 8.Layer Biscuit Dough

   Drop spoonfuls (approximately 1.5 tablespoons each) of the biscuit dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, leaving small spaces between them. The biscuits will expand during baking.

9. 9.Add Sausage Layer

   Evenly spread the cooked and drained sausage over the biscuit dough in the casserole dish.

10. 10.Add Cheese Layer

    Sprinkle about half of the grated Colby Jack cheese evenly over the sausage layer.

11. 11.Add Vegetables

    Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup of finely chopped red bell peppers and 3 small chopped green onions over the cheese and sausage layers.

12. 12.Season with Pepper

    Sprinkle black pepper to taste over the layered ingredients.

13. 13.Pour Egg Mixture

    Pour the whisked egg and milk mixture evenly over all the ingredients in the casserole dish, ensuring it seeps into the spaces between the biscuit dough.

14. 14.Add Remaining Cheese

    Sprinkle the remaining grated Colby Jack cheese on top of the egg mixture.

15. 15.Bake Casserole

    Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) on the center rack for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown, puffy, and the eggs are set. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.

16. 16.Serve

    Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of fresh spinach and fruit salad, dressed with strawberry balsamic vinaigrette.
