Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×13-inch pyrex pan with nonstick spray.
 
In a large skillet, cook the sausage until browned. Drain any accumulated fat, and discard.
 
Pat the rolls into the prepared pan- have them go up the sides to create a rim. Seal all of the seams. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the crust, and sprinkle with cheese.

Serve, and top with a sprinkle of chopped green onions, if you’d like. We enjoy having a dollop of sour cream on ours too. This easy brunch casserole is perfect for serving with some breakfast potatoes. Enjoy!
