Slice the sausage into ¼-inch round pieces, then add them to the skillet. Stir again until well incorporated.

Apply cooking spray to a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Transfer the contents of the skillet into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top. Broil for about 3 minutes in the oven.
