• Drain off sausage fat and drippings.
• Line bottom of greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan/dish with crescent roll dough, pinching together the perforated seams and pushing the dough so you get a nice seamless bottom that goes from edge to edge of the pan.

• Combine eggs, milk and salt and pepper and pour over sausage and cheese making sure the egg mixture gets even distributed.
• Bake 15 minutes or until set. Let stand 5 min before cutting into squares. Best served hot.

RISE AND SHINE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• 2. Tear the 6-12 slices of bread into pieces about the size of a half-dollar. Line the bottom of the pan with the bread. Make sure the bottom of the pan is completely covered. Set aside.
• 3. Fully cook the bacon (or sausage) in a skillet. Remove and pat dry with a paper towel to get rid of the extra grease. **Note: You can use as much or as little meat as you want. If you have a meat lover in the family you might want to try both bacon and sausage together in this recipe.**
• 4. Spread the meat generously over the bread, making sure the meat is evenly distributed. Sprinkle 1/2 the bag of cheese on top of the bacon/bread layer. Set aside.
• 5. Bake tater tots as directed on package. Once they are crispy & golden brown, place them on top of the cheese layer. Using a fork, run over tater tots to break some open so there will be potatoes in every bite. Set aside.
• 6. In a medium/large bowl, crack 8 eggs (if making a smaller casserole you may have to use 6; or if a larger about 10+) Scramble the eggs with a fork. Add 2 1/2 cups milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream to the egg mixture and whisk well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. **Note: Again if you do not have these on hand or want to trim the calories just substitute for an additional 1/2 cup milk.***
• 7. Pour egg/milk over the casserole, paying special attention to the corners and sides as they tend to dry out if they don't have enough liquid.
• 8. Sprinkle the other 1/2 bag of shredded cheese on the top of the casserole.
• 9. Cover with foil and let refrigerate overnight. (You don't necessarily have to do this step but it makes the casserole a hundred times better! Really easy to make it the night beforehand and just pop it in the oven in the morning!)
• 10. Remove from refrigerator. Remove tin foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes depending on your oven. **Note: You can always put the foil back over the dish to prevent premature browning/burning.**
• 11. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy! :)
