- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup Original Bisquick mix

- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and potato mixture in the baking dish.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Return to the oven and bake for another 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
- Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
