How to Make Cheesy Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add 1 pound of cooked sausage (browned and crumbled) to the melted cheese mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Unroll two (8 ounce) cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Gently press one can into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of crescent rolls.
  6. Top with the remaining can of crescent rolls, gently pressing the seams to seal.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
