Ingredients
Mild or hot pork sausage
1 lb (Remove casing if necessary, and crumble.)
Condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can (Undiluted)
Milk
1/2 cup (Use any type of milk.)
Rubbed sage
2-3 teaspoons (Dried and crushed.)
Biscuit mix
3 cups (Pre-packaged mix.)
Shredded cheddar cheese
Optional (For topping, sprinkle on muffins before final baking.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin pan generously.
2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the undiluted cheddar cheese soup, milk, rubbed sage, and the cooked sausage. Mix well until evenly combined.
4
Gradually add the biscuit mix to the bowl, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup approximately 2/3 full to allow for rising.
6
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the muffins in the last few minutes of baking, allowing it to melt into a delicious, gooey topping.
8
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
