NITA'S SAUSAGE CHEESE SQUARES

CHEESE AND SAUSAGE BREAKFAST SQUARES

These are a great morning treat, especially if you have overnight house guests, or need a quick jump start in the morning.  They are easy to fix, easy to store, and easy and quick to reheat from freezer or refrigerator either in the oven or in the microwave.  Not very, very healthy, but very, very good.  (Note:  Spicy Turkey breakfast sausage may be used instead of the Jimmy Dean Hot.)


RECIPE

1 lb. hot pork sausage
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 can minced green chilies
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese.

Cook sausage and onion together in a skillet.  (This may be done in advance and the mixture either stored in the refrigerator or frozen.

Mix Bisquick with milk and spread in a 13x9 inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.  Spread the sausage and onion mixture over the Bisquick. It will not be very thick and needs to be patted down with the hands or a spatula.  Mix together the egg, chilies and cheese and sprinkle over the top.

Bake in oven 20 to 30 minutes.  Cut into squares and serve hot.  If making in advance, cut into squares after baking and freeze or store in refrigerator.  Bake at 350 until heated through.

  1. Made this today and it was perfect for the cold weather that's blasting through here. I substituted the pork sausage for the turkey version we buy and I can safely say that there were no leftovers LOL! Thanks for sharing this super easy and quick breakfast treat! Perfect for the cooler weather and days when I'm feeling too lazy to prepare lunch or dinner. I never thought of chillies of any kind for breakfast, but it definitely gave it a great flavor. It and the onions are a one-two punch for a healthy dose for a knockout breath, but hey it was Sunday LOL! Thank you guys!
