Sausage Muffins with Bisquick


(Makes 12 muffins)

For the Muffins:

  • 1 box (6.5 oz) Bisquick mix
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or Italian sausage for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but highly recommended)
  • Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, onions, or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives

For Topping (Optional):

  • Extra shredded cheese
  • Green onions, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners for easy removal.

2. Cook the Sausage

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks.
  2. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Make the Batter

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, milk, and egg. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  2. Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese (if using). Mix gently to distribute evenly.

4. Fill the Muffin Tin

  1. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  2. If desired, sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top of each muffin for a gooey, golden finish.

5. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

6. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve warm as part of a hearty breakfast or alongside eggs, fruit, or coffee.
  2. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Use Quality Sausage: Opt for flavorful breakfast sausage or spicy Italian sausage for an extra kick.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the muffins dense instead of light and fluffy.
  • Add Extras: Experiment with diced jalapeños, sautéed onions, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Freeze for Later: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
