Preparation

Step 1

Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly; drain.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine Velveeta and tomatoes. Microwave on HIGH, in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until blended.

Unroll crescent roll dough, and place in bottom of prepared pan.

Top with sausage, cheese mixture, egg mixture, and Cheddar. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 350º. Let casserole stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until center is set and lightly browned.

Garnish with green onion, if desired.
