Sausage muffins made with Bisquick are a convenient and delicious option for breakfast or a quick snack. Here's a simple recipe to guide you:
Ingredients
1 pound ground breakfast sausage
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
Instructions
Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground sausage until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and Bisquick mix until well combined.
Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese and the cooked sausage until evenly distributed.
Fill the Muffin Pan:
Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage Tips
Refrigeration: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Freezing: To freeze, wrap the muffins individually in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in the microwave or oven before serving.
Variations
Cheese Options: While Cheddar is commonly used, feel free to substitute with other cheeses like mozzarella, Swiss, or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
Add-Ins: Consider adding chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the batter for extra nutrition and flavor.
These sausage muffins are perfect for busy mornings, as they can be made ahead and reheated quickly. Their portability also makes them an excellent option for on-the-go breakfasts or snacks.
