Essential Ingredients

It is a simple recipe that depends on few ingredients that are not hard to find. Naturally, the main actor is the sausage, yet the side characters do not go unnoticed in achieving the ultimate texture and taste.

Ingredient	Amount	Notes
Bulk Pork Sausage	1 lb	Mild, hot, or sage sausage all work well.
Bisquick Baking Mix	3 cups	The key to a quick and fluffy texture.
Sharp Cheddar Cheese	2 cups	Shredded from a block for best results.
Milk	1 cup	Whole milk provides the richest flavor.
Large Eggs	4	Helps bind the muffins together.
Green Onions	½ cup	Finely chopped, optional but recommended.
Black Pepper	½ tsp	Freshly ground for more flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create the most delicious Bisquick Sausage Muffins you’ve ever had. Ensure your ingredients are measured and ready before you begin to make the process as smooth as possible.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
2. Brown the pork sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a spatula to break the meat into small crumbles as it cooks.
3. Drain the cooked sausage on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess grease. This is a crucial step for preventing soggy muffins.
4. Combine the Bisquick mix, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Fold in the cooked sausage crumbles and the chopped green onions until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill each cup of the prepared muffin tin about two-thirds full with the batter. An ice cream scoop works perfectly for portioning the batter evenly.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Cool the muffins in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle.

Pro Tips & Tricks for the Best Bisquick Sausage Muffins

Although this is a simple recipe it is possible to give your muffins an extra push to be not only fabulous but also quite indelible. With these easy tips, you will make a batch that will turn out perfect each and every time.

Don’t Overmix the Batter

The trick to a soft, airy muffin is not a highly beat-up batter. The gluten in the Bisquick mix can become tough and dense, just as muffins do; overmixing creates this type of gluten. Stir the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients just until they have been mixed.

Shred Your Own Cheese

As noted in my previous posts, the First World where I live, the use of a block of your own cheese to shred it is a revolution. It consists of being melted in a consistent fashion and gives a better creamy texture than the pre-shredded cheese does. The classic choice is sharp cheddar but also Monterey Jack or a Colby mix would be delicious.

Let Them Cool Slightly

It is imperative to leave the Bisquick Sausage Muffins in the pan and allow them to cool down after a few minutes. This will allow them to set and they will not disintegrate when you place them on a cooling rack.

Flavor Variations

Feel free to customize this recipe. And add a pinch of cayenne or hot sausage to give it some zing. Instead, you may also add a cup of chopped and finely diced bell pepper or mushrooms but you have to sautee this with the sausage to add additional flavor as well as nutrients.

How to Store and Reheat

These savory muffins are an excellent make-ahead breakfast. They can be stored in the right way and be tasted tender and good during a few days.

Room Temperature: At room temperature, the muffins can be stored in an airtight container where they last up to 2 days.

Refrigerator: They may be stored at longer duration in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

Freezer: These muffins freeze beautifully. After being cooled down, wrap each muffin separately in plastic wrap and put it in a freezer-friendly container/bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

To warm up, microwave a muffin in 30-45 seconds or in a 350 F oven about 10 minutes and it is hot.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make these muffins ahead of time?

Absolutely! This recipe is perfect for meal prep. You may also make a whole batch and store them in the refrigerator up to 5 days, or in the freezer up to 3 months. They can be reheated in a hurry when there is not much time in the morning.

Can I use a different type of meat?

Yes, you can easily customize these muffins. Bacon that is cooked and crumbled, diced ham or even turkey sausage would make a fabulous avatar of the pork sausage. Instead you can make a vegetarian version with a plant based crumble.

My muffins turned out dry. What did I do wrong?

Overbaking or too much mixing of batter are the most common causes of dry muffins. Blend, but do not over mix so that when the ingredients are blended, stop, and at 20-minute intervals, begin to check for doneness. Every oven is different, so yours might bake faster.
