Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: In a large skillet, cook the sausage until it’s browned and cooked through. If using sausage links, slice them into smaller pieces after cooking.

Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 22-28 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the middle and the crescent roll crust is golden brown.
Step 8: Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Top with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, salsa, or fresh cilantro, if desired.
