Sausage Muffins with Bisquick


  • 2 cups Bisquick (original, not Heart Smart)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ lb (225g) ground pork sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • ¾ cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra richness)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
  • Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp dried thyme, or chopped green onions
💡 Pro Tips:
  • Cook and drain sausage thoroughly—excess grease makes muffins dense.
  • Don’t overmix—stir until just combined for tender texture.
  • Use cold milk—helps create flaky layers.
