Can I use pre-cooked sausage?

Yes, precooked sausage makes assembly a breeze. Just chop or crumble the sausage, mix with cheese, fill the dough cups, and reduce bake time to around 10 minutes—just long enough for the biscuits to brown and the cheese to melt.

Can these be made ahead of time?

Absolutely! Assemble the biscuit bites up to a day in advance, cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake fresh before serving, adding an extra minute or two to account for the colder dough.

Do I have to use mini muffin pans?

Mini muffin pans are best for finger-food size, but you can use a regular muffin tin for bigger bites—just increase the amount of filling per cup and add a minute or two to the baking time.

Can I double the recipe for a crowd?

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. Line up a few muffin tins, roll the mixture into balls by the dozens, and you’re set for a party or potluck.

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s fully preheated before you begin assembling the bites.
Prepare Biscuits: Open both packages of Grands Jr. Flaky biscuits. Separate each biscuit into two layers, giving you a total of 40 pieces of dough.
Shape Dough Cups: Press one layer of biscuit dough into each section of a mini muffin tin, forming a cup with space in the center for the filling.
Mix Sausage Filling: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ground breakfast sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly blended.
Form Sausage Balls: Divide the sausage mixture into 40 equal parts and roll each into a small ball.
Stuff Biscuit Cups: Press a sausage ball into the center of each biscuit cup, ensuring the filling is contained within the dough but not overflowing.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and the sausage is thoroughly cooked.
Serve: Allow the biscuit bites to cool slightly, then remove them from the tin and enjoy warm.

Notes

You can use spicy or mild sausage depending on your preference.
Substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses like pepper jack for a different flavor.
Ensure sausage is cooked through before serving.
Leftover bites can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick snack.
