A Little History of Sausage Muffins
While muffins have ancient roots dating back to 10th century Wales and 18th century England, the savory muffin as we know it today evolved in American kitchens, where creativity met convenience. The pairing of sausage, cheese, and eggs—breakfast staples—with a shortcut baking mix like Bisquick emerged in the mid-20th century as busy home cooks looked for easy, reliable, and satisfying meals.
Bisquick, introduced by General Mills in the 1930s, became a household staple for everything from pancakes to casseroles. When someone clever (perhaps a Southern grandma or a working mom) decided to mix sausage, cheese, and eggs into Bisquick and bake them in muffin tins, a new breakfast classic was born.
Ingredients
This recipe makes about 12 sausage muffins. You can double or halve as needed.
1 pound ground breakfast sausage (pork or turkey; spicy, maple, or classic – your choice)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (sharp, mild, or a mix of both)
4 large eggs
1 cup Bisquick baking mix (store-bought or homemade)
Optional Add-ins for the adventurous:
1/2 cup diced bell peppers or green onions
1/4 tsp black pepper or red pepper flakes for heat
1/2 tsp garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor
Instructions
Step-by-Step Method
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin or line with paper liners. - Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly. - Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the shredded cheese, cooled sausage, and Bisquick. Stir until everything is fully combined. The mixture will be thick. - Fill the Muffin Tins:
Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm or let them cool completely for meal prep.
