• ¼ tsp onion powder (optional)

How to Make Sausage Muffins (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use liners.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

Cook breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 6–8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles until browned.

Drain well to remove excess grease.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Base

In a large bowl, combine:

• Bisquick baking mix
• Cooked sausage
• cheddar cheese
• Seasonings
• Any optional add-ins

Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients

Whisk together:

• eggs
• milk

Step 5: Combine Everything

Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix.

Step 6: Fill Muffin Tin

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Fill nearly to the top for tall, bakery-style muffins.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 8: Cool & Serve

Let muffins rest for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm for best flavor.

Pro Tips for Perfect Muffins

• Drain sausage well – Too much grease makes them heavy
• Don’t overmix – Keeps muffins soft and tender
• Fill generously – Helps create tall, fluffy tops
• Customize cheese – Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss
• Make mini versions – Bake 12–15 minutes for bite-sized snacks
