Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 3/4 to 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and no pink remains, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the cooked sausage on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Add the buttermilk gradually and stir until a sticky batter forms, adding more buttermilk if the dough feels too dry. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked sausage.
- Assemble Dish: Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Add the biscuit dough on top of the butter and gently spread it out evenly to cover the dish. Spray your hands with nonstick spray if needed to help spread the dough without sticking.
- Cut Biscuit Portions and Bake: Using a knife, cut the biscuit dough into 9 equal squares within the baking dish. Bake on the middle oven rack for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through baking for even browning. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the biscuits brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
Notes
- This recipe features an easy no-roll biscuit dough, saving time without compromising texture.
- Spraying your hands with nonstick spray helps to spread the sticky dough evenly without it sticking.
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven; watch for a golden top and clean toothpick test to ensure doneness.
- The dish combines buttery biscuits with sausage and cheese, making it both comforting and filling.
