These Sausage and Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites are my go-to for any casual get-together or when I need something quick that feels a little more special than just plain old biscuits. Imagine flaky biscuits filled with cheesy, savory sausage goodness. Yeah, they’re that good.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Crowd-Pleaser: Who doesn’t love sausage and cheese tucked inside warm, buttery biscuits?
  • Quick & Easy: With just a few ingredients, this comes together fast, which is perfect when you’re short on time.
  • Versatile: Great for breakfast, snack time, or an appetizer for a party.

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.

Variations

  • Spicy Kick: Add some chopped jalapeños to the sausage mixture for a little heat.
  • Different Cheeses: Swap out cheddar for pepper jack if you want to spice things up a bit.
  • 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

Can I use a different type of sausage?

You sure can! Try spicy sausage, turkey sausage, or even a plant-based sausage for a veggie-friendly option.

How do I reheat leftovers?

Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, and they’ll crisp right back up. No soggy bites here!

Can I make these in regular muffin tins?

Yep! Just use a whole biscuit per muffin cup and adjust the filling. You might need to bake them a little longer, but trust me, it’s worth it.

There you have it—Sausage and Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites that are guaranteed to impress at any gathering. They’re cheesy, savory, and oh-so-delicious. Give them a try and see how fast they disappear!
