Ingredients You’ll Need
To make sausage muffins with Bisquick, you’ll need:
- Breakfast sausage
- Bisquick baking mix
- Eggs
- Milk
- Shredded cheese (cheddar works best)
Optional additions:
- Chopped green onions
- Bell peppers
- Garlic powder
- Black pepper
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and allow the sausage to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Add the Bisquick baking mix and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese, along with any optional add-ins you like.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed, golden on top, and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve sausage muffins warm on their own or with:
- Fresh fruit
- Scrambled eggs
- Hash browns
- A drizzle of honey or hot sauce
They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick snack.
Tips for Perfect Sausage Muffins
Let the sausage cool slightly before adding it to the batter to prevent scrambling the eggs. Don’t overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins dense. Use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
Variations
For a spicy version, use hot sausage or add diced jalapeños.
For a veggie-packed option, add sautéed onions and peppers.
For a lighter version, use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese.
For mini muffins, reduce baking time to 12–15 minutes.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze muffins for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
