Ingredients You’ll Need
To make a batch of these delicious sausage muffins, gather the following:
1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey, your choice)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar adds great flavor)
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
4 large eggs
½ cup milk
Optional add-ins: chopped green onions, diced bell peppers, or a dash of hot sauce for a little kick
How to Make Sausage Muffins with Bisquick
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until smooth. Stir in the Bisquick mix until just combined.
Step 3: Add Cheese and Sausage
Fold the cooked sausage and shredded cheese into the batter. If you’re using optional ingredients like veggies or spices, mix them in at this point.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Spoon the batter into each cup, filling about ¾ full.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Enjoy
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or let cool completely for storing.
Tips for Success
Make it healthier: Use turkey sausage, low-fat cheese, and skim milk.
Customize it: Try adding spinach, mushrooms, or even jalapeños for different flavor variations.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Sausage Muffins with Bisquick aren’t just for breakfast. They make an excellent snack, lunchbox item, or party appetizer. You can even turn them into mini muffins for a bite-sized treat at potlucks or brunch tables.
