Sausage Muffins with Bisquick

Need a break from the usual breakfast routine? These Bisquick sausage muffins are the perfect easy morning bite. They’re warm, cheesy, hearty, and filling enough to keep everyone satisfied.

Made with breakfast sausage, eggs, cheddar cheese, and Bisquick, they bake up golden, fluffy, and full of savory flavor. They’re great for busy mornings, meal prep, brunch, or feeding a hungry family.

Ingredients

1 pound ground breakfast sausage, any flavor
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup Bisquick baking mix

Instructions

Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and Bisquick until combined.

Add the cooked sausage and stir until evenly mixed.

Grease a 12-cup muffin pan, then fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the sausage mixture.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve warm and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use a different cheese?
Yes! Mozzarella, Swiss, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or pepper jack would all work well.

Do they need to bake longer since they have sausage?
No. Since the sausage is already cooked before baking, 18 to 20 minutes is usually enough.

How do I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Can these be frozen?
Yes! Store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken, or your favorite ground meat

1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 head butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated and washed

Optional Add-Ins

Grated carrots

Optional Garnish

Sliced green onions
Sesame seeds

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken, breaking it apart as it browns, until fully cooked through.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.

Spoon the warm sesame chicken into crisp lettuce leaves.

Top with green onions and sesame seeds, then serve right away and enjoy!

This cozy crockpot cowboy soup is the kind of easy dump-and-go dinner that turns simple pantry ingredients into a warm, hearty bowl of comfort 🤠🥣✨

It’s packed with seasoned ground beef, tender potatoes, tomatoes, corn, green beans, and mixed veggies, all slow-cooked together in a rich tomato base with just the right touch of sweetness 🤤

Start by browning 2 pounds of ground beef, then drain off any extra grease. While the beef is cooking, peel and dice 4 Yukon Gold potatoes into small bite-sized cubes.

Add the cooked beef and potatoes to your slow cooker. Pour in 2 cans of mixed vegetables with the liquid, 1 can of sweet corn with the liquid, 1 can of cut green beans with the liquid, 1 can of petite diced tomatoes, and 1 can of condensed tomato soup.

Season with a little salt and pepper, then stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar. That small sweet touch really helps balance the tomato flavor and makes the soup extra good 😍

Mix everything together until well combined, then cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, or until the potatoes are soft and the flavors have blended together perfectly 🔥

Using fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned? Add 1 to 2 cans of beef broth so the soup has enough liquid.

Serve warm and enjoy a filling, flavorful bowl of homemade comfort food 😋

🍕 Crispy Homemade Calzone Pockets

I made these crispy calzone pockets for dinner, and they were such a hit with my family! They’re budget-friendly, way better than takeout, and packed with that perfect golden crust and hot, melty cheese center 😍

1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup ricotta cheese, optional but so creamy
½ cup sliced pepperoni or chopped ham
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Cut a small slit on top of each pocket so steam can escape while baking.
