What does this Bisquick Sausage and Cheese Biscuits taste like?
As mentioned earlier, these bear a resemblance to sausage balls for those familiar with them. The key distinction lies in the texture—these biscuits are airier, resembling traditional biscuits, as opposed to the denseness of sausage balls.
Unlike the three-ingredient Sausage balls that omit milk, the Bisquick Sausage & Cheese Biscuits recipe incorporates milk, contributing to a fluffier rise.
The flavor profile is a delightful fusion of seasoned pork sausage, accented by savory notes from sage, and the sharp richness of cheddar cheese. The result is a savory, cheesy, and subtly spiced treat, with the bonus of a fluffy biscuit-like texture.

How To Make Bisquick Sausage & Cheese Biscuits
Whipping up a batch of Bisquick Sausage & Cheese Biscuits is a delightful journey into the world of savory indulgence. The process is as simple as it is rewarding
Step-by-step Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Start by using the skillet to brown the breakfast sausage. Use the mix and chop or a wooden spoon to break up the pork sausage and continue to stir until the meat has browned. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Next, grate the cheddar cheese and place aside.
Mixing the ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the bisquick baking mix and stir in the milk. Mix until the dough starts to form.
- Next, use your hands to finish mixing until the ingredients have come together to form a dough ball.
- Add in the sausage crumbles and the grated Shredded Cheese.
- Mix until all the ingredients have combined. Use your hands for this task.
Making the Biscuits
- Turn the dough ball out onto the pastry mat or a lightly floured surface.
- Using your hands, form a rectangle with the dough ball, and pat it down flat.
- Next, use the rolling pin to roll out a rectangle roughly ½ inch to 1 inch thick.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a cup with a sharp edge to cut the biscuits out.
- Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet
Baking the biscuits
- Place the biscuits in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Allow to cool then enjoy.
RECIPE NOTES
Make sure to buy block cheese and shred it yourself. Preshredded cheese has a coating to prevent sticking. This will affect the flavor of the biscuits. Avoid overmixing the biscuit dough, as excessive mixing can lead to a tougher texture. When cutting out the biscuits, refrain from twisting the cup or biscuit cutter as it passes through the dough. Twisting seals the edges, hindering the biscuits' rise. Instead, apply firm, downward pressure in a straight motion to ensure optimal results.
Substitutions
- You can substitute Almond Milk for regular milk if you do not wish to use regular milk.
- Bisquick can be sustained in a ratio of 1:1 by adding 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder. Bisquick does contain Hydrogenated oil but the oil from the cheese and sausage should suffice for this.
Recipe Variations To Try
- Pepper jack cheese
- Hot sausage
- Add jalapeños
- Make in muffin tins
- Mini biscuit sandwiches
Storage Tips
Store the Bisquick Sausage & Cheese Biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Freezing Instructions
These Sausage and Cheese biscuits are freezer-friendly. Store them in a freezer-safe container or a zip-lock bag designated for freezing. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw them out and then heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds for a delicious treat.

- Add in extra milk and make drop biscuits.
- Add in Jalapenos for a little added flavor and kick.
