• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
• 1 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach – choose your favorites!)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven and Sauté Sausage: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Prepare Vegetables: While the sausage cooks, chop your chosen vegetables.
