Ingredients

• 1 lb sausage – I like Jimmy Dean, but use your favorite.
• 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened – because who doesn’t love cream cheese?
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce – adds a rich, umami kick.
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese – the cheesier, the better!
• 2 (12-oz) cans Grands Jr flaky biscuits (20 biscuits total) – the magic that holds it all together.

• Herby Twist: Add a sprinkle of Italian herbs to the filling for extra flavor.

How to Make the Recipe

1. Preheat the Oven

First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray your mini muffin tin with cooking spray, so those biscuits don’t stick. No one wants a stuck biscuit.

2. Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook your sausage until it’s browned and no longer pink. Don’t forget to break it up as it cooks so you get little sausage bits throughout the filling. Drain off any excess grease—because greasy bites? Not cute.

3. Prepare the Filling

Now it’s time to make things cheesy. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together until it’s all blended and looking irresistible.

4. Prepare the Biscuits

Pop open those biscuit cans (that pop always makes me jump). Take each biscuit and split it in half, then press each half into a mini muffin cup. They should look like little dough cups waiting for all that delicious filling.

5. Fill the Biscuit Cups

Spoon the sausage-cheese mixture into each biscuit cup. Be generous—this is where the magic happens.

6. Bake

Pop your muffin tin into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and slightly crispy on the edges. The kitchen will start smelling amazing right about now.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Let the bites cool for just a couple of minutes (they’ll be hard to resist) and then dig in! They’re best served warm, so gather everyone around and watch these disappear in minutes.

How to Serve

• For Breakfast: Pair these with scrambled eggs or fresh fruit for a satisfying breakfast.
• As an Appetizer: Perfect for parties—serve them with a side of mustard or ranch for dipping.
• Anytime Snack: Honestly, these work any time of day, whether you’re hosting a brunch or need something easy to snack on.

Make Ahead

• Fridge: You can prep the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Easy!
• Freeze: Freeze unbaked bites in the muffin tin. When you’re ready, just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.

FAQs
