Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how irresistible these are—golden, buttery biscuits with a savory sausage filling in every bite. They come together quickly, don’t require utensils, and are perfect for gatherings, lunchboxes, or a cozy snack on the go.

Ingredients

(Herе’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Refrigerated biscuit dough (like buttermilk biscuits)

• Ground sausage (mild or spicy)

• Onion, finely chopped

• Garlic, minced

• Kosher salt

• Black pepper

• Grated cheddar or pepper Jack cheese (optional)

• Melted butter (for brushing)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat oven. I heat my oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray or paper liners.

2. Cook sausage filling. I brown ground sausage in a skillet with onions and garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper. Once cooked through and the onions are soft, I drain excess grease and set the mixture aside.

3. Prep biscuit dough. I separate the biscuit dough into individual rounds and flatten each one with my fingers or a rolling pin into roughly 3-inch circles.

4. Assemble bites. I place a spoonful of sausage mixture (and a pinch of cheese, if using) in the center of each dough circle, then pinch the edges up and over the filling, sealing it like a little pouch. I gently roll each into a ball and place it in the muffin tin.

5. Brush and bake. I brush each bite with melted butter for extra richness and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the biscuits are puffed and golden.

6. Finish and serve. I let them cool for a couple of minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving warm.

Servings and timing

• Servings: Makes about 24 bites (depending on biscuit size)

• Prep time: 10 minutes

• Cook filling: 8 minutes

• Assembly and bake: 15 minutes

• Total time: Approximately 33 minutes

Variations

• Cheese-stuffed: I press a small cube of cheddar, pepper jack, or cream cheese into each filling for extra gooeyness.

• Spicy upgrade: I swap mild sausage for spicy Italian sausage or mix in red pepper flakes.

• Herb twist: I stir chopped fresh herbs like sage or thyme into the sausage mixture.

• Vegetarian option: I use plant‑based sausage crumbles or a seasoned mixture of beans and diced peppers.

Storage/reheating

I cool the bites completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm them in a 350 °F (175 °C) oven for about 8 minutes until heated through. I avoid microwaving to keep the biscuit exterior crisp.

FAQs

Can I use frozen biscuit dough?

Yes—I’ve even used frozen dough successfully. I just let it thaw enough to separate the rounds before shaping.

Can I make these ahead of time and freeze them?

Definitely! I freeze fully baked bites in a single layer on a tray, then transfer them to a bag. To reheat, I warm straight from frozen in a 350 °F oven for about 10 minutes.

What size biscuits work best?

I use standard 2.5–3 inch diameter biscuit rounds. Larger biscuits make bigger bites and take a minute or two longer to bake.

Can I prep them the night before and bake in the morning?

Yes—I assemble the bites and refrigerate them. When I’m ready, I pop them in the oven straight from the fridge, adding a couple of extra bake minutes.

Are these freezer‑friendly?

Absolutely—I find they freeze beautifully and reheat well in the oven for a quick, satisfying snack.

Conclusion

I adore these Sausage Biscuit Bites—they’re quick, flavorful, and portable. Whether I’m feeding a crowd, packing a lunch, or enjoying a cozy snack, these bites are the perfect combination of flaky biscuit and savory sausage.
