Ingredients:
- 1 lb. of breakfast sausage links
- ½ cup of Bisquick pancake mix
- 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese, chopped
- 4 large eggs
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Muffin Pan Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or butter to ensure that the muffins don’t stick to the pan once they’re baked. This simple step will make it easier to remove your muffins without any mess.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it is browned and crumbled into small pieces. This should take about 5–7 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess fat from the sausage by using a paper towel or simply by pouring it off carefully. This helps to keep the muffins light and less greasy.
