Total time: 30 mins
Ingredients
  • 1 16 oz chub pork breakfast sausage*
  • 1 16.3 oz can Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits
  • 16 slices medium or sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup hot diced green chiles (505) *
  • optional: 2 tbsp butter & paprika or chili powder
  • * 16 oz chub of either mild or hot Italian sausage is also good.
  • * If you want less heat, use just ½ cup green chiles (1 tbsp per biscuit).
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray nonstick cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Slice the pork sausage into 8 equal disks (or patties). Flatten each disk to about 4 inches diameter - they will be between ¼ and ½ inch thick. Fry in large skillet over medium high heat until completely cooked and partially browned on outside, but not crisp. Set aside to drain on plate.
  3. While sausage is cooking, separate each biscuit into 2 halves - they pull apart easily.
  4. Assemble the 8 biscuits on cookie sheet: layer ½ biscuit, 1 slice cheese, sausage patty, 2 tbsp green chiles, another cheese slice, other ½ biscuit.
  5. Optional: Melt butter, brush on top of each biscuit, and lightly sprinkle with paprika or chili powder.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes; biscuits will be puffed up and lightly browned on top.
  7. Serve immediately & enjoy!
