Ingredients
1 lb ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper for added flavor
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or regular muffin tin, depending on your preference for bite sizes.
Cook Sausage: In a skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuit dough, and cut each biscuit into quarters (if using regular-sized muffin tin) or into smaller pieces for mini muffin tins.
Assemble Bites: Place a piece of biscuit dough into each muffin cup, pressing it slightly to form a base. Then, spoon the sausage and cheese mixture on top of each piece of dough, filling the cups generously.
Bake: Bake the sausage biscuit bites in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
