Ingredients
1 pound sausage
1 package of Pioneer Brand Peppered Sausage Gravy Mix
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Salt and black pepper, to taste

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gravy mix and 1 cup of water until smooth.
Add the gravy to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the gravy is thickened.
Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.

Pour the egg mixture over the top, then top with the biscuits.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the eggs are set.
