How to Make It

Cook the sausage

In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, combine the sausage, onion, and green pepper. Cook until the sausage is evenly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

Prepare the dough

Separate the dough into 10 individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit out and line the bottom and sides of 10 muffin cups.

Fill the cups

Evenly distribute the sausage mixture between the cups. Then, mix the eggs and milk together and divide this mixture between the cups.

Top with cheese

Sprinkle the tops of the pies with shredded cheese for an extra flavor boost.

Bake the pies

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden.
