Bisquick Sausage Muffins: A Savory, Cheesy Breakfast Recipe Made Step by Step

Bisquick Sausage Muffins are a delicious and easy savory breakfast treat made with seasoned sausage, fluffy biscuit mix, eggs, and melted cheese. They have the comforting flavor of homemade biscuits combined with the heartiness of a breakfast casserole, but in a convenient handheld muffin form.

These muffins are perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, brunch gatherings, school lunches, road trips, or a quick snack. They can be prepared ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator or freezer, and reheated whenever you need a warm and satisfying bite.

Why These Sausage Muffins Are So Popular

The secret behind these muffins is their simple combination of ingredients. Bisquick provides a soft, tender texture, while cooked sausage adds a savory, meaty flavor. Cheese melts throughout the muffins, creating a rich and comforting taste.

Unlike sweet muffins, these are completely savory. They are filling, easy to customize, and require only a few basic ingredients.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust depending on sausage saltiness)

Optional Add-Ins

• ½ cup diced bell peppers
• ¼ cup chopped green onions
• ½ cup cooked bacon pieces
• ¼ cup diced jalapeños
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Muffin Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.

You can also use paper muffin liners, but greasing the pan directly often gives the muffins a slightly crispier golden edge.

Preparing the pan first ensures the muffins can be removed easily after baking.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

Place a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the breakfast sausage and break it apart using a wooden spoon or spatula.

Cook the sausage until it is fully browned and no pink remains, usually about 7–10 minutes.

Make sure to crumble the sausage into small pieces. Smaller pieces distribute better throughout the muffins and give every bite a good balance of meat and cheese.

Once cooked, drain any excess grease and allow the sausage to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheese and Optional Ingredients

While the sausage cools, shred the cheddar cheese if you are using a block of cheese.

Freshly shredded cheese usually melts better than pre-shredded cheese because it does not contain as many anti-caking ingredients.

If adding vegetables such as peppers or onions, chop them into small pieces so they blend evenly into the muffins.

Step 4: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add:

• Bisquick baking mix
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Black pepper
• Salt

Mix the dry ingredients together.

The seasonings help add extra flavor because the Bisquick itself has a mild taste.

Step 5: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

• Eggs
• Milk

Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly combined.

The eggs provide structure, while the milk helps create a soft and tender muffin texture.
