Ingredients Needed

For the Biscuit Dough:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (go for your faves; spicy or mild, it’s your call)
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for just a hint of sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 ¾ – 2 cups buttermilk (get that tangy goodness in there)
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (don’t skimp; cheese is life!)

For the Swim:

• ½ cup salted butter, melted (this is the secret sauce that makes it heavenly!)

How to Make This Recipe

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Let’s get this oven fired up to 450°F. While that’s heating, grab your 9×9-inch baking dish and spray it down with some nonstick spray. You don’t want these buttery bites to stick.

Step 2: Cook That Sausage

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and toss in the breakfast sausage. Cook it until there’s NO PINK — about 8-10 minutes should do it. Drain on paper towels to soak up all that grease. We want the sausage tasty, not swimming.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. This will be the base for our fluffy biscuits.

Step 4: Make the Batter

Now, add in the buttermilk to the dry mixture and stir it up. You should end up with a sticky batter. Don’t worry if it’s a bit thick; you can add more buttermilk if needed. Add in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently fold it all together.

Step 5: Drop It Like It’s Hot

Pour that melted butter into your prepared baking dish, then add the biscuit dough right on top, spreading it evenly. Cut the dough into 9 squares so they’ll bake nicely.

Step 6: Time to Bake!

Pop that dish in the oven on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes. Rotate it once halfway through to ensure even baking. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. If they look like they’re browning too much, throw some foil over the top.

How to Store It & Expert Tips

How to Store It

Once these beauties cool down, you can pop them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Planning ahead? These biscuits freeze well, too! Just wrap them up tightly and they’ll last for about 3 months. When you’re ready to dig in, just reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Expert Tips

• Swap the Sausage: Try chorizo or turkey sausage for a fun twist.
• Add Fresh Herbs: Toss in some chopped green onions or cilantro to brighten things up.
• Extra Cheesy: Who says you can stop at cheddar? Mix in pepper jack for a kick or some mozzarella for stretching goodness.
• Adjust the Buttermilk: Depending on your flour, you might need a tad more or less buttermilk to get that sticky batter consistency. Just go with your gut!
