One Pan Breakfast Skillet Mac and Cheese

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. 2

   Place an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned with no pink remaining, about 7 minutes. Add the macaroni, milk, water, and the powdered cheese packet, scraping any browned bits from the skillet bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is just tender and the sauce is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, then remove from heat.

3. 3

   Use a spoon to form 4 indentations in the macaroni mixture and carefully crack one egg into each. Scatter a bit of additional cheese around the eggs and season evenly with salt.

4. 4

   Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are just set, about 5 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper and green onions, then drizzle hot sauce over the top.
