🧀🥓 Sausage Biscuit Bites Recipe
📋 Ingredients:

1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken)
-
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands or any flaky variety)
-
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)
🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prep:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Lightly grease a mini muffin pan (24-count works best), or line with mini cupcake liners.
2. Cook the Sausage:
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked.
-
Break it up into crumbles with a spoon or spatula as it cooks.
-
Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
3. Mix the Filling:
-
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and chives (if using).
-
Mix until everything is evenly combined. You can do this with a spoon or a hand mixer.
4. Prepare the Biscuit Base:
-
Open the biscuit can and separate the dough.
-
Cut each biscuit into quarters (or smaller, depending on biscuit size).
-
Flatten each piece slightly into a round disc with your fingers and press it into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup to form a base.
5. Assemble:
-
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each biscuit cup.
-
Press it down gently so it’s nicely filled and slightly mounded.
6. Bake:
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
-
Let cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
-
Serve warm with dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or a maple-sriracha glaze.
-
These also reheat well in the toaster oven or air fryer.
❄️ Make-Ahead / Freezing Tips:
-
Assemble and freeze unbaked bites in the muffin tin, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid.
-
Bake from frozen at 375°F for 18–20 minutes, or until heated through and golden.
