Servings & Timing
- Servings: 24 bites
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Bake Time: 20–25 minutes
- Total Time: 30–35 minutes
Ingredients List
- 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix (or any all-purpose baking mix)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar works great)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, Bisquick mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to combine.
Add ¼–½ cup of water or milk gradually (if needed) to help bind the mixture — the dough should be thick but not too sticky.
Step 4: Shape the Bites
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, roll the mixture into small 1–1.5-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve
Serve warm and enjoy as-is, or with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
Additional Notes
- Make It Spicy: Use spicy sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Cheese Swap: Try pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Texture Tip: For softer bites, add 2 tablespoons of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the mix before baking.
