Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the biscuit mix, hot sausage, and shredded Cheddar cheese in a bowl.
- Knead the mixture for 10 minutes until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 36 small balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, you can substitute turkey sausage for the hot sausage. If you're looking for a different flavor, try adding some diced jalapeños or fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Make sure to knead the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients. Using freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded will give you a creamier texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these sausage biscuits warm as a hearty breakfast option or a delicious appetizer. They pair well with scrambled eggs or fresh fruit for a balanced meal. For a fun twist, serve them with a side of spicy mustard or your favorite dipping sauce. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread alongside dishes like Marie'S Easy Key Lime Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sausage biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 30 seconds, but the oven will maintain their crispy texture better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the sausage biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked sausage balls. Simply shape them and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, you can cook them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time for best results.
What can I substitute for the biscuit mix?
If you don't have biscuit mix on hand, you can make your own by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. This homemade mix will work just as well in the recipe and give you the same fluffy texture.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The sausage biscuits are done when they are golden brown 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 fully cooked. Make sure not to overbake, as this can dry them out.
