Servings:
12 muffins
Total Time:
30-35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: chopped green onions or diced bell peppers for extra flavor
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Once cooked, drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Muffin Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.
- Add the cooked sausage to the dry ingredients, followed by the milk and egg mixture. Stir everything together until just combined. If you want extra flavor, stir in green onions or diced bell peppers.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
- Evenly spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your savory breakfast muffins!
