A recipe similar to this Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Skillet is pictured on my kitchen calendar. All month, fourth son has been staring at it and mentioning it as he walks by it. When I told him that I was actually going to be making it for dinner, he was a happy camper.
Truth be told, when I actually got around to making this recipe, I didn’t do anything southwest at all. I skipped the hot sausage, red peppers and Jack cheese. Instead, I used mild sausage and Cheddar. I used green bell peppers so that no one would accuse me of trying to sneak tomatoes into their meal (ahem! like I would do that?!?)
The results were eaten with gusto. No leftovers. Three people had seconds. The original meal was meant to have 12 servings, but I cut it into 8.
