Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 pound ground sausage pork-free options like turkey or chicken sausage work
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your choice of cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional add-ins:
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers or onions
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
- ¼ cup cooked and crumbled bacon for added flavor
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
Cook the Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked. If you’re using pre-cooked sausage, simply warm it through. Drain any excess grease and set it aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Muffin Tin:
- Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
- This step ensures your muffins come out perfectly and makes cleanup a breeze.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well blended.
Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and eggs. Gently mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the Sausage and Cheese:
- Toss in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese, gently folding them into the batter until evenly distributed.
- This step ensures every bite is packed with savory flavor.
Fill the Muffin Cups:
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
- This allows the muffins to rise beautifully without overflowing.
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the best flavor!
Pro Tips for Success:
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the ingredients just until they come together—overmixing can lead to dense muffins.
- Even Distribution: Use an ice cream scoop or measuring cup to ensure each muffin cup gets an equal amount of batter.
- Test for Doneness: If you’re unsure whether the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they’re ready!
