Homemade Sausage Cheese Biscuits for a Quick and Easy Breakfast

Okay friends, it’s time to buckle in and start your day with a flavor explosion that you simply won’t be able to forget.

When it comes to making breakfast, let’s just say I am not a pro at it. I am definitely not a morning person, so the thought of me getting out of bed to prepare a tasty meal at dawn is going to be a no.

My husband always leaves before I wake up, so there’s even less motivation for me to cook when I roll out of bed at 7 o’clock in the morning. I mean, it’s just me, so why would I put the energy into anything but making a strong cup of coffee?

To me, the key is to make breakfast around dinnertime. Whether it’s a Sunday or perhaps I have some extra time in the middle of the week, I like to reach for easy recipes that I can eat in the morning over the next handful of days, and make ahead of time.

These sausage cheese biscuits are my savior, my ultimate breakfast basic on busy days. Since I don’t have the energy to cook in the morning, I can whip up these easy-peasy biscuits while I’m working on dinner at the same time.

Then I have breakfast for my husband and myself that’s ready to go, all week long. That’s a huge win in my book, I have to admit.

I love to make these for breakfast served with a big plate of my breakfast heap (the more sausage, the better!), but they also actually work really well as a lunch item, or even as something to go alongside your dinner if you wish.

You can even serve up this recipe at your upcoming brunch gathering, at any time of year, no matter what else you are serving up. There are so many sweet brunch recipes out there, it’s nice to have a savory recipe on hand that won’t eat up all your time.

So, what’s in these biscuits? All you need is some breakfast sausage (raw and ground), Bisquick baking mix (I prefer making my own at home), shredded cheddar cheese (choose your favorite level of sharpness, because any will work!), and either a homemade mornay sauce or store-bought condensed cheese soup.

The recipe itself can be easily broken down into three steps: cook the sausage, stir everything together, and bake.

That’s why it’s so easy to make these ahead of time, especially if you are already cooking in preparation for an upcoming event, or simply putting these together at the same time while you are cooking other things, like dinner.

Essentially, this recipe has all of your favorite components of a classic sausage breakfast sandwich, all mixed together in biscuit form.

Before we get to the easy recipe, I’ll leave you with a few extra tips and tricks:

• Feel free to use store bought ingredients, but trust me when I tell you that I think the quality and flavor are even better if you make the baking mix and mornay sauce from scratch at home if you can.

• Serve these at room temperature, or reheat them in the microwave. All you have to do is wrap them in a paper towel, and reheat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

• If you don’t have a muffin tin, you can make these by dropping about three tablespoons of batter each onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, and see the recipe notes below for a description that will help you to tell if they are done.

Now, let’s get cooking! You can feel free to snooze that alarm as many times as you want when you know these are already baked and ready for you in the morning.

Cooking By the Numbers…

Step 1 – Prep and Measure Ingredients

Measure all of the ingredients as they are listed on the ingredients list.

You can use pre-shredded cheese, but for the freshest taste, I like to shred my own from a block, using my box grater or the shredding disc on my food processor.

Preheat your oven to 375˚F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.

Step 2 – Cook Sausage

Over medium-high heat, heat a medium skillet. Once it’s hot, add the sausage.

Cook until browned and cooked through, making sure to break the pieces of meat up into small pieces. This will take about 7 or 8 minutes.

Drain fat and discard.

Step 3 – Make Batter

Add the sausage, baking mix, shredded cheese, soup or mornay sauce, and water to a large bowl.

Stir well to combine.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

Step 4 – Bake

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they have risen and are golden brown on the outside.

Cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin to loosen it from the pan.

Remove and serve warm, or allow to cool completely before storing.

These can be enjoyed cold, or reheated.
