Why you’ll love this cheddar sausage biscuit recipe:

How to make cheesy sausage biscuits:

1. SAUSAGE – In a non-stick skillet, brown the sausage and drain off excess fat. Chill until cold.
2. DRY INGREDIENTS – Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Grate in the cold butter; stir.
3. COMBINE – Use a wooden spoon to stir the sausage and cheese into the flour mixture. Add the buttermilk and gently stir together until the dough barely comes together. Press together.
4. FORM – On a floured surface, use your hands or a rolling pin to press the biscuit dough into a 8×10 inch rectangle. Cut into 12 squares.
   Chill biscuits while you preheat your oven to 425 degrees; spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
5. BAKE – Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
   If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with butter.

These biscuits are delightful fresh from the oven, but you can also try serving them with my sausage gravy recipe for brunch or dinner.

You could also split them in half and add a fried egg and sausage patty, bacon slices, or ham for unforgettable breakfast sandwich.

Sausage Cheese Biscuits Variations:

• For a bit of a kick, add a teaspoon of black pepper or even a little bit of red pepper flakes.
• I like to use mild or sharp cheddar cheese, but you could try pepper jack, colby, or even mozzarella.
• If you want round instead of square biscuits, you can use a biscuit cutter.
• You can add 2-3 sliced green onions with the cheese and sausage.
• If all you have on hand are sausage patties, simply brown them and finely chop them.

Notes

-Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer. Or wrap in foil and place in a cold oven. Turn the heat to 300 degrees. When the oven is hot, they will be ready. You can also freeze them for 3 months.
