Easy Cheezy Sausage Biscuit Bites

Ingredients

2 cans of Grands biscuit dough (20 biscuits total)

1 pound of breakfast sausage (your choice of flavor)

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

4 ounces softened cream cheese

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Cook the sausage until fully browned and drain any excess fat.

Step 2:

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded Cheddar cheese.

Add the cooked sausage and mix well.

Step 3:

Form the mixture into 40 small balls, about the size of a walnut.

Separate the biscuit dough into two layers (Grands makes this easy).

Step 4:

Press one layer of biscuit into the cups of a mini muffin pan.

Repeat with all the biscuit layers; you may need to work in batches.

Step 5:

Place one sausage and cheese ball into each muffin cup on top of the biscuit.

Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Enjoy your bites!

Notes:

Sausage Options: Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage, such as spicy, maple, or turkey, to suit your taste preferences.

Cheese Variations: While Cheddar works great, you can also try other cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a blend for added flavor.

Herbs and Spices: Add herbs like chives, parsley, or spices like garlic powder to the cheese mixture for an extra kick.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

Freezing: These bites can be frozen before baking. Just freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Serving Suggestions: Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, hot sauce, or a spicy mustard, for an added flavor boost.
