Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ¾ – 2 cups buttermilk
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup salted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Spray a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Cook the Sausage:
-
Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess grease using paper towels.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the buttermilk, stirring until a sticky batter forms (add more buttermilk if needed).
-
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked sausage.
4. Assemble the Biscuits:
-
Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Add the biscuit dough on top of the butter, spreading it evenly.
-
Use a spatula or knife to cut the dough into 9 squares.
5. Bake:
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes on the middle rack, rotating the dish halfway through. The biscuits should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted should come out clean. If needed, cover loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
-
Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness!
