These southern sausage biscuits are a family favorite in my home, especially on weekends.

Ingredients

• 8 canned buttermilk biscuits

• 1 pound breakfast sausage

• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Biscuits
Separate each biscuit and gently flatten with your hands. Spoon a portion of the cooked sausage into the center of each biscuit, then sprinkle with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal.

Step 3: Bake
Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake according to the instructions on the biscuit package, usually around 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve
Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with eggs, fruit, or a drizzle of honey butter.

Tips & Variations

• Cheesy Upgrade: Add extra cheese to make them even gooier.

• Spicy Kick: Use spicy sausage or add diced jalapeños to the filling.

• Make Ahead: Assemble the biscuits the night before, refrigerate, and bake in the morning.

• Freezer-Friendly: Freeze baked biscuits in an airtight container and reheat for a quick breakfast.
