INGREDIENTS:

Breakfast Sausage: 1 pound, for a rich and meaty flavor.

Bisquick Baking Mix: 1 cup, to give the muffins their structure and fluffiness.

Sharp Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup, shredded, for that perfect melt and tangy taste.

Eggs: 4, to bind all the ingredients together and add moisture.

DIRECTIONS:

Oven Preparation:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin to ensure the muffins do not stick.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook it until it’s thoroughly browned and crumbled. Make sure to drain the excess grease once cooked to keep the muffins from becoming too oily.

Baking:

Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean …
