Sausage Cheese Biscuits are loaded with ground breakfast sausage and cheddar cheese. They bake up wonderfully buttery, tender, and delicious. So much flavor in every bite!
I’ve tried making lots of different kinds of biscuits over the years and these Sausage Cheese Biscuits are right up there with my favorites. With a full pound of breakfast sausage added in these southern biscuits are practically a meal by themselves. The sausage adds so much awesome flavor. It’s like eating a sausage biscuit only better because the sausage is so wonderfully incorporated within the biscuit.
Tips for making Sausage Cheese Biscuits:
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and place in the toaster oven for about 8 minutes.
- To freeze, individually wrap them. When ready to eat them, thaw completely, wrap in foil and heat in the toaster oven or oven.
- This recipe makes a large amount, but you can cut the amount in half or freeze some.
- No need to use a biscuit cutter. Just cut the dough into squares. So much simpler.
There’s nothing better vthan a homemade biscuit. Store-bought can’t even come close to competing. It can take a couple of times to really get the feel for biscuit making, but it is time well invested. While intimidating at first, once you get the hang of biscuit making, you can practically do it on autopilot and you won’t see how you ever thought biscuit making was challenging.
