How to Make Sausage Muffins with Bisquick
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until fully browned and crumbly. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. If there’s excess grease, drain it off and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Mix the Muffin Batter
In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick, shredded cheese, milk, eggs, and any seasonings you’re using (such as garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Stir everything together until just combined. Add the cooked sausage and any chopped onions if you’re using them. Mix well to evenly distribute the sausage throughout the batter.
Step 3: Prepare the Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners. Spoon the sausage batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
Step 4: Bake the Muffins
Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you want an extra cheesy crust, you can sprinkle a little extra cheese on top of each muffin before baking.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Sausage Muffins
- Spicy sausage: If you like a little heat, try using spicy sausage or adding some red pepper flakes to the batter.
- Add veggies: For extra nutrition and flavor, stir in some chopped bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms along with the sausage.
- Use different cheeses: While cheddar is a classic, you can switch it up by using mozzarella, pepper jack, or even Parmesan for a different flavor profile.
- Make ahead: These muffins store well in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
