Loaded Breakfast Biscuits

Ingredients
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter, melted (divided - 2 Tbsp to oil cast iron pan and 2 Tbsp for brushing biscuits after baking)
1 pound ground breakfast sausage
4 eggs scrambled
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
2. In a large 12-inch cast iron skillet, crumble the sausage and saute until browned through.
3. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. When the sausage is browned, drain well and then add to the flour mixture. Stir to combine until sausage is fully coated.
5. Drain any abundance of oil from the pan and then add the beaten eggs into the pan and cook to a soft scramble. Add the scrambled eggs to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
6. Next, add the cheese and milk. Stir the mixture until all the flour is incorporated and a slightly sticky dough forms. With a spoon, floured hands, or an ice cream scoop, drop biscuits into the buttered skillet or sheet pan.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until biscuits are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter. Serve warm.

Notes: These tasted good, but they came out more "loaded" than "biscuit" for us. The biscuit part was pretty dense. We might have taken them out before the biscuits were all the way cooked.
