Introduction
Easy Sausage Muffins are a quick, hearty, and satisfying breakfast or snack. Made with simple ingredients like sausage, cheese, and baking mix, these muffins come together effortlessly and bake into golden, savory bites packed with flavor. They are perfect for busy mornings, brunch gatherings, or meal-prepping for the week.
Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
2 cups Bisquick or any baking mix
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked sausage and stir to distribute evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Description
These muffins are soft, savory, and filled with delicious bits of sausage and melted cheese. The Bisquick creates a tender structure that holds everything together while the sausage adds richness and depth. Each muffin is portable, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.
Tips
Use sharp cheddar for more flavor.
Make sure the sausage is well-drained to prevent greasy muffins.
Do not overmix the batter; mix just until combined for fluffier muffins.
These muffins reheat beautifully in the microwave or air fryer.
You can double the batch and freeze the extras.
Variations
Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese.
Mix in chopped spinach or bell peppers for added vegetables.
Replace sausage with cooked bacon or ham.
Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the batter for extra flavor.
Correction
If your muffins turn out dry, try adding an extra 2 tablespoons of milk next time.
If they seem too dense, reduce the baking mix by 1/4 cup.
If they spread instead of rising, the batter may be too wet; add 2–3 tablespoons more Bisquick.
Enjoy
Serve warm and enjoy these savory, comforting sausage muffins any time of day. Perfect with coffee, soup, or as a quick grab-and-go snack.
