Ingredients You’ll Need
To make a full batch of 12 savory muffins, you’ll only need 4 basic ingredients:
1 pound ground breakfast sausage – Choose mild, hot, or maple-flavored depending on your preference.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – Sharp cheddar works best for that cheesy flavor punch.
4 large eggs – They help bind the ingredients and add moisture and protein.
1 cup Bisquick Baking Mix – The secret to that fluffy, golden muffin base.
> Optional add-ins:
Chopped green onions
Diced bell peppers or jalapeños
A dash of hot sauce or garlic powder
Pepper jack or mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan or line it with silicone muffin liners.
Step 2: Brown the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked (about 7–9 minutes).
Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Mix the Muffin Base
In a large mixing bowl, crack and whisk the eggs.
Add the Bisquick baking mix and shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir until fully incorporated — the mixture will be thick.
Step 4: Add the Sausage
Fold in the cooled sausage crumbles and any optional add-ins you like.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
Step 6: Bake
Place in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve warm or store for later.
