Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the grated cheese, hot sausage, and Bisquick together thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into balls roughly the size of donut holes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes or until slightly brown.
- If frozen, cook at 300°F (150°C) for approximately 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using a different type of cheese, like pepper jack for some heat or cheddar for a classic flavor. If you want to make these biscuits lighter, you can substitute half of the sausage with cooked turkey sausage. Mixing in some fresh herbs like chives or parsley can also enhance the flavor profile. If the dough is too sticky, adding a little more Bisquick can help.
Serving Suggestions
These cheese sausage biscuits make a fantastic breakfast or brunch option and can be paired with Sausage Gravy(To Be Served Over Biscuits; Also Known As Sawmill Gravy) for a hearty meal. They also serve well as appetizers at parties. Consider serving them alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light green salad to balance out the richness.
