Originating as a fun twist on classic sausage and biscuit pairings, these muffins bring out the best of both worlds: soft and fluffy on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside. They can also be customized for different tastes, adding a unique flair to breakfast routines. Not only are they quick to prepare, but they’re also versatile enough for meal preps, snack packs, or just an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground halal sausage (or substitute with turkey sausage for a leaner version)
• 2 cups Bisquick mix
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, ensuring the sausage crumbles nicely.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This blend creates the savory base for the muffins.
4. Add Wet Ingredients and Sausage: Stir in the milk and eggs until the batter just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense. Gently fold in the cooked sausage.
5. Fill and Bake: Spoon the mixture evenly into each muffin cup in the prepared tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops turn a beautiful golden brown.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm, possibly garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dash of paprika for added color.

Serving Suggestions and Tips

These Bisquick Sausage Muffins pair beautifully with scrambled eggs, a fresh fruit salad, or even a light side of roasted veggies for a complete meal. If you’re looking to customize further, try adding a bit of chopped bell pepper or diced jalapeño for a spicy kick, or switch up the cheese for a unique flavor twist.
