Sausage, Cheddar, and Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites

April 3, 2019

Hey, y’all!

Sausage, cheese, cream cheese, biscuits… how can you go wrong with a combination like that?

Today I am excited to bring to y’all one of my favorite Saturday morning recipes. It doesn’t get much easier; apart from that, they are filling, quick, and are sure to please a crowd. I love preparing dishes that taste more impressive than their preparation; as a home cook, I think that is a key to ensuring quality!

Growing up on the farm, sausage was a staple at breakfast time – well, that and biscuits, of course! The skillets used in my grandmother’s kitchen certainly outdate me (and probably my father). The recipes? Even older!

While I didn’t grow up eating these Sausage, Cheddar, and Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites, they are inspired by my childhood and by my upbringin’ south of the Mason-Dixon, as many of my recipes are.

If you make these for your family (or, well, for yourself, as I do), they won’t disappoint – that I assure you.

Sausage, Cheddar, and Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites

Ingredients (can be easily doubled, tripled, etc):

1 lb (16 oz) Hot Country Sausage (you can use mild if you prefer)

2 cans of biscuits (I like to use Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layered Biscuits)

1/2 c. shredded mild cheddar

1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar

8 oz. cream cheese

1.5 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Fully brown the sausage; drain the grease (I like to keep just a little of it).
Add sausage into a mixing bowl along with the mild cheddar, sharp cheddar, cream cheese (softened), and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix well.
Split each biscuit in half horizontally.
Lightly spray your muffin tin with cooking spray.
Place each biscuit into the muffin tin; I find it best to press some of the dough up against the corners, more or less covering the entire hole with dough.
Evenly scoop the sausage, cheese, and cream cheese mixture into the biscuit dough.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, allowing biscuits to brown.
Enjoy!
