Sausage Muffins with Bisquick

Step 4: Fold in Sausage and Cheese

1. Add the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, chopped onions (if using), and seasonings (black pepper, optional garlic powder or paprika).
2. Fold gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.

Step 5: Fill Muffin Cups

1. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
2. For extra cheesy tops, sprinkle a little additional shredded cheese on top of each muffin.

Step 6: Bake the Muffins

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2. Remove from oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 7: Serve

1. Carefully remove the muffins from the pan or liners.
2. Serve warm with butter, hot sauce, or a side of scrambled eggs.

(Tip: These muffins are also great cold and make a perfect grab-and-go breakfast.)
