Description
Southern Sausage Biscuits is a simple, soulful Southern recipe made with just 3 ingredients: canned biscuits, sausage, and cheese. They’re hearty, golden, and packed with flavor—the perfect cozy breakfast for family mornings or brunch with friends.
Ingredients
8 canned buttermilk biscuits
1 lb breakfast sausage
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Here’s the process, rephrased for clarity:
-
Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
-
Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until fully done.
-
Prep the biscuits: Flatten each canned biscuit gently with your hands or rolling pin.
-
Assemble: Spoon about a tablespoon of cooked sausage and a light sprinkle of cheddar onto each flattened biscuit.
-
Seal: Fold the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal the edges.
-
Bake: Place biscuits seam‑side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the biscuits turn golden brown.
-
Cool briefly: Remove from oven, let sit a moment, then serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, use spicy sausage or pepper jack cheese.
Add sautéed onions or bell peppers for a savory twist.
Vegetarian? Swap in plant-based sausage.
Best enjoyed warm, but leftovers reheat well in the oven.
