Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional but tasty)
Equipment You’ll Need
- Skillet or frying pan
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Rolling pin (or your hands!)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or nonstick spray
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
3. Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and garlic powder if using. Stir until fully mixed and creamy.
4. Prep the Biscuit Dough
Separate biscuits from the cans. Flatten each biscuit into a disk using your fingers or a rolling pin.
5. Fill & Seal
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges up and around the filling, pinching to seal into a ball.
6. Bake to Perfection
Place the sealed biscuit bites on your baking sheet, spaced an inch apart. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
7. Serve & Enjoy
Let cool for a few minutes and serve warm. Great on their own or with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
Pro Tips
