Let’s Make Bisquick Sausage Muffins

Prep Your Ingredients

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin pan with oil or nonstick spray, or simply use paper liners for effortless cleanup.
• Cook and crumble your sausage (if you haven’t already).
• Shred your cheese and measure out your milk, eggs, and Bisquick mix.

Mix Everything Together

• Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, pour in the milk, and whisk until smooth and fully combined.
• Gently add the Bisquick mix and stir until everything is just blended—be careful not to overmix the batter.
• Fold in cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and any optional add-ins.
• The batter will be thick—this is normal!

Fill the Muffin Tin

• Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
• Fill each cup almost to the top for big, bakery-style muffins.

Bake

• Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the muffins turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow the muffins to rest in the pan for about 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Quick Tip:
Let your muffins cool completely before freezing so they stay light and fluffy when reheated!
