Ingredients

• 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
• 1 pound sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Optional: chopped green onions or bell peppers for added flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
2. Once the sausage is done, drain any excess fat and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, cooked sausage, beaten eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.
2. If you’d like to add some extra flavor, fold in chopped green onions or bell peppers at this stage.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin

1. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.

Step 5: Bake the Muffins

1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

1. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re delicious on their own or with a side of fruit for a balanced breakfast.
