Sausage And Biscuits
Savory sausage and cheesy biscuits formed into bite-sized balls, perfect for snacks, parties, or breakfast, offering a comforting blend of flavors and crispy textures.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick, shredded cheese, and sausage together in a bowl.
- Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
- Can be frozen and reheated in a covered pan at 325°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding chopped green onions or jalapeños to the mixture for extra flavor. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own baking mix using flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a combination of sharp and mild cheese can also enhance the taste. For a heartier version, substitute the mild sausage with spicy sausage for a kick, similar to Jo Ann Bush's Armadillo Eggs.
Serving Suggestions
These sausage and biscuits make a hearty breakfast or brunch option. Serve them alongside scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with coffee or a warm chai latte. For a delightful snack, try them with a dollop of honey or your favorite jam. You can also include a side of Bonnie's Peanut Butter Bars for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooked sausage and biscuits in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the cooled biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, bake from frozen in a covered pan at 325°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of sausage in this recipe?

How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are lightly browned on the outside and firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of one; if it comes out clean, they are ready. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven.
Can I prepare the mixture ahead of time?
