Stuffed Canned Biscuits
Savory stuffed biscuits filled with sausage and cheese, perfect for breakfast or snack, offering a warm, cheesy, meaty bite that appeals to all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the sausage and grated cheese together in a bowl.
- Form the sausage and cheese mixture into small balls.
- Wrap each ball completely with a biscuit, sealing it well.
- Place the wrapped biscuits on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375°F until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of sausage for a lighter option. You can also experiment with different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor. To prevent the biscuits from bursting during baking, ensure they are sealed tightly around the filling. If you have extra filling, you can bake it separately for a tasty treat.
Serving Suggestions
These stuffed biscuits make a great appetizer or snack and pair well with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. For a hearty meal, serve them alongside a fresh salad or a bowl of soup. They also pair beautifully with Georgia'S Gorgeous Peanut Butter Gems for a sweet finish. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover stuffed biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, but the oven will help keep the biscuits crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these stuffed biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the stuffed biscuits in advance and refrigerate them before baking. Just make sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap or foil to prevent drying out. When you're ready to bake, simply follow the original baking instructions, adding a couple of extra minutes if they are coming straight from the fridge.
Can I freeze the stuffed biscuits?
Absolutely! You can freeze the uncooked, wrapped biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, you can cook them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What other fillings can I use for these biscuits?
The possibilities are endless! You can try using shredded chicken with ranch seasoning, cooked vegetables for a vegetarian option, or even breakfast fillings like scrambled eggs and bacon. For a more indulgent treat, consider adding chocolate chips or fruit preserves for a sweet version that echoes treats like Chocolate Chip Reese'S Cups.
