Recipe Notes

  • Sausage: Feel free to use hot or mild pork, turkey, or chicken breakfast sausage to fit your tastes and preferences. Just make sure your sausage doesn't contain any added sugar or sugar alternatives.
  • Cheese: For best results, shred your own cheddar cheese from a block. Prepackaged shredded cheese contains fillers and starches to prevent clumping, which add unnecessary carbs and keep the cheese from melting well.
