How to Make Tex Mex Breakfast Sausage Cups

Brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil.
Separate 10 Grands biscuits; press each biscuit into 5 muffin tin cups, ensuring the edges extend slightly above the rim.
Evenly divide the crumbled sausage among the 5 biscuit cups.
In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup of milk.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture over the sausage in each cup.
Add 1 tablespoon of your favorite salsa to each cup.
Top each cup with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
For easy cleanup and to prevent spills, place the muffin tin on a baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
