Ingredients
Instructions
- Crumble sausage into a large skillet.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using spicy sausage instead of mild for an extra kick. If you don't have Cheddar cheese soup, a homemade cheese sauce or cream of mushroom soup can be a great substitute. Make sure to drain the sausage thoroughly to avoid soggy biscuits. Consider adding herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
