Sausage Muffins Made with Bisquick Mix
These sausage muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack option. Packed with savory sausage and cheesy goodness, they’re quick to whip up thanks to the convenience of Bisquick mix.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Sausage:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
2. Mix the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
3. Fill the Muffin Cups:
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
4. Bake the Muffins:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
