HOMEMADE SAUSAGE CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits, this portable breakfast has the sausage and cheese baked right into tender and flaky biscuits.

Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits

Breakfast is my favorite meal. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a morning person or because I fondly remember large family breakfasts on the weekends growing up. Maybe, it’s a little of both.

Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits

For this reason, we have a big homecooked family breakfast on the weekends. We have any combination of homemade biscuits, waffles, or pancakes, with bacon or sausage, eggs, and gravy. Sometimes, when I plan well enough, I make cinnamon rolls which are my favorite.

Those family breakfasts favorites got me to thinking about a way that I could make something similar during the week. So, I mixed it sausage and cheese into homemade biscuits! And, they’re FABULOUS!

Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits

The most amazing breakfast biscuits ever! Loaded with fresh crumbled sausage chunks, sharp cheddar cheese and green onions, if desired. You will want this for breakfast every single morning!

Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits

  1. If you prefer more biscuit and less ‘filling’, you can cut the sausage and cheese in half.
  2. You can use sour cream, Greek yogurt, or plain yogurt for the buttermilk.
  3. As well, you can make ‘buttermilk’ by adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Stir. and give it about 10 minutes to curdle.
  4. Finally, you can substitute ham, bacon, for the sausage. You can also substitute Monterrey, pepper jack, gruyere, and Swiss for the cheddar.

These biscuits are best the day they are made. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container, or wrap in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-warm in the microwave or oven.

To freeze biscuits

Completely cool baked biscuits on a wire rack before wrapping and freezing. To prevent the biscuits from drying out, wrap tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil or pack in freezer bags.

To reheat 

  • Microwave on HIGH for 10 to 30 seconds.
  • For the oven, place the foil-wrapped package in a preheated 300°F oven. Heat thawed biscuits about 10 minutes or frozen biscuits about 20 minutes.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork sausage cooked and drained
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter salted or unsalted, cut into small cubes
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons green onions sliced, green part only

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking pan.
  • Cook and drain sausage.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 
  • Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture has pea-sized crumbs. Stir in the sausage and cheese (and green onions if you're adding them.)
  • Add the buttermilk and combine. I find it easiest to use a fork to gently stir the mixture until all of the dry ingredients are moistened. Then, use your hands to knead the mixture a few times in the bowl to bring the dough together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a parchment-lined counter and pat into an 8x10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 squares.
  • Transfer the biscuits to the baking pan, leaving 1-inches between each biscuit. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the melted butter.
  • Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes.

    I made them yummy. I used Unflavored Kiefer instead of buttermilk added an egg then added about 1/4 cup extra Kiefer when mixing, I added 1 tsp cream of tartar instead of the soda. They puffed up and needed all the room on the parchment lined cookie sheet. I’ll definitely try again as hubby was wonderfully impressed with fried eggs on top.
    Thank you
    You did 👍 good

    These were delicious! Bread was soft & fluffy.
    I did add about 1 cup more of buttermilk. I thought they were too dry after mixing.
    I used turkey sausage and everyone loved them!

    DON’T USE BISQUIK! This dough blend is a recreation of it and if you use anything but plain flour your biscuits will come out strange. Great recipe though once I managed to cook it right!

    I made these this morning. They are very tasty but did not really rise. I was very careful to use very cold butter and a pastry blender I wonder if I used too much cheese or something (2C is pretty arbitrary). Or maybe my oven is too hot? They were crispy on the outside but still a tiny bit doughy on the inside. Don’t get me wrong, my family gobbled them up. I’m just looking for insight as to why they didn’t rise much …..or maybe they just don’t really rise by nature? Anyway, thank you so much for the recipe! I will definitely try again.

    Ok … I know this might be a sacrilege, but can you use a prepared cold case biscuit? (as I’m saying this I’m ducking behind the counter to avoid getting hit by the various things “real” cooks are throwing at me!!!) If so, do you have a recommendation for a particular type of biscuit (ie: small more solid, or larger more flaky)?? I’m a rookie, but this sounds so good, and handy to freeze and serve!!

    I would like to make this using bacon as a substitute for the sausage like you mentioned. My questions are: do you use a pound of bacon just like the recipe says for sausage? Also, can I half this recipe and it still work?
    Thank You!!!!!!

      Yes, use a pound of cooked and crumbled or chopped bacon. And, it’ll be fine to half the recipe. Enjoy!

    I made these and froze before baking. Then I just pop out how many I want and bake them fresh. It works great! They are amazing! I’m going to try my with different meats later but the sausage is great! Thank you for this recipe!

    Basically she recreates Bisquick but with butter as the fat as opposed to Lord knows what they really put in Bisquick. Nothing wrong with that at all. The combo of the baking powder and baking soda plus the acid in the buttermilk give the biscuits a nice lift. Nice and light. I wouldn’t call them flakey because that’s not what they are, but they have a very tender crumb. I’d like to have a bit more “sausage flavor”, and I’ve been thinking of adding a little sage to the batter/dough. My wife went crazy for these and she wasn’t that wild about a few prior attempts. I’ve tried a few recipes for this simple biscuit, but hands down, this is winner. I’m thinking they would also be crazy good split under a couple of eggs.

      Try Jimmy Dean Hot sausage. It has a great flavor and very low fat, (for sausage).

    Hello! Will be making these tonight, but I’m curious I’ve heard/seem people make these with OUT precooking the sausage! It seems like such a time saver but I’m hesitant to try it. Have you ever made them this way/does it change the baking time?

    Thanks A Bunch!

      I haven’t made this particular recipe without cooking the sausage first. However, in a Sausage Ball recipe the sausage isn’t cooked first so I think it’ll work. I just not sure about the baking time though.

        This is what I wanted to know…can I make them fresh the night before and then pop them in the oven in the morning. Have made these many times…absolutely love this recipe!! I’ve frozen after baking and you cannot even tell they’re not freshly made! I sure hope they do well..going to try it tonight.

          I think they’ll work fine to mix up the night before, but I haven’t tried it. My only concern is the top may dry out a bit but you can brush melted butter on before they bake if that happens. Please let me know how they turn out.

      yes, wrap aluminum foil or freezer bags. To thaw and reheat a single frozen biscuit in the microwave or conventional oven, microwave on HIGH for 10 to 30 seconds. For oven, place a foil-wrapped biscuit in a preheated 300°F oven. Heat thawed biscuits about 10 minutes; frozen about 20 minutes.
