Why You’ll Love This Sausage Muffin Recipe

These muffins are perfect for busy mornings, weekend meal prep, or even after-school snacks. They come together quickly and bake up golden and fluffy every single time. The sausage adds rich, meaty flavor while the cheese melts into gooey perfection. And because Bisquick cuts down on measuring and mixing, it’s one less thing to stress about.

They also freeze beautifully, making them ideal for stocking your freezer with something savory and homemade. Just reheat in the microwave or oven and you’ve got breakfast ready in minutes.

What Kind of Sausage Should I Use?

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s incredibly versatile. You can use ground breakfast sausage for that classic flavor, or spice things up with hot or maple-flavored sausage. Pork sausage tends to deliver the most flavor, but turkey sausage works great for a lighter option.

If you’re using sausage links, just remove the casings before browning. Fully cooked sausage can also be used in a pinch—just chop it finely before folding it into the mix.

Ingredients for the Sausage Muffins with Bisquick

To make the perfect batch of savory sausage muffins, you only need a few kitchen staples. Each ingredient plays a role in building texture, flavor, and that satisfying, cheesy goodness.

• Ground sausage – This is the star of the show, offering rich flavor and a hearty bite.
• Bisquick mix – The backbone of the muffin batter that binds everything together and creates a fluffy, biscuit-like texture.
• Cheddar cheese – Adds creamy, melty goodness and sharp flavor to every bite.
• Eggs – Help bind the ingredients and give structure to the muffins.
• Milk – Moistens the mix and ensures tender muffins without being too dense.

How To Make the Sausage Muffins with Bisquick

Step 1: Brown the Sausage

Start by browning the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain off excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Mix the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Stir in the Bisquick until just combined, then fold in the cooled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tins

Scoop the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters of the way full. These muffins rise nicely, so leave a little room.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 6: Serve or Store

Serve warm and enjoy immediately, or let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

How to Serve and Store Sausage Muffins with Bisquick

These sausage muffins are best served warm, straight out of the oven when the cheese is still melty and the tops have that slight crisp. But they’re just as satisfying at room temperature, which makes them great for brunch spreads or lunchbox treats.

This recipe makes about 12 standard-size muffins, perfect for feeding a family or having leftovers for later in the week. They keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days, and you can reheat them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to bring back that fresh-baked warmth.

If you want to store them longer, just freeze them. Let the muffins cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat in the oven or microwave whenever you need a quick, hearty breakfast.
