Ingredients
1 lb ground breakfast sausage
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Biscuits
Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Flatten each piece slightly and press into the mini muffin pan to form a cup.
Step 4: Assemble
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Spoon a small portion of the sausage mixture into each biscuit cup.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Serve
Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
