Okay, let me tell you—these sausage and bacon muffins are seriously my new obsession. They’ve saved me on so many mornings when I just don’t have time but still want something homemade. You can make a big batch, freeze them, and pop them in the microwave when you’re running out the door. And trust me, they’re good. Like, “I might actually look forward to Monday mornings now” good. Plus, who doesn’t love sausage and bacon in one bite?
I started making these because every time I hit the drive-thru, I always ask for both sausage and bacon on my biscuit sandwich—because, why choose, right? So, I figured I’d just throw it all together in muffin form, and it’s been a game-changer. Bonus: You can add a little drizzle of syrup on top for a sweet-savory thing that’ll blow your mind. Let’s get into it.
What You’ll Need
- 4 strips of bacon – Cooked until crispy. You can fry it up, microwave it, or toss it in the air fryer. Whatever makes you happy.
- 1 pound sausage – I used Johnsonville, but Jimmy Dean works great too. Or whatever you’ve got!
- 1 cup Bisquick mix – Or whatever biscuit mix you’ve got on hand.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – Go sharp if you can! Or, swap for gouda or whatever cheese you’re into.
- 1-2 jalapeños, chopped – Seeded if you want to tone down the heat.
- 1 small onion, diced – This adds so much flavor.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced – You can never go wrong with garlic.
- 3 large eggs – Because muffins need eggs, right?
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped – For a little fresh bite at the end.
- Cooking spray or butter – To grease the muffin tin.
Here’s How You Make ‘Em
- Cook the Bacon and Sausage
First up, bacon. I cooked mine on the stove, but if you want to use the microwave or air fryer, go for it. Just make sure it’s crispy, because we’re chopping it up and throwing it into the muffins later. Once it’s done, set it on some paper towels to drain and cool. Then crumble it up.In the same pan (because why dirty more dishes?), throw in your sausage and break it up as it browns. After a few minutes, add your diced onion, garlic, and jalapeños if you’re using them. Cook until everything smells amazing and the sausage is browned and cooked through.
- Mix Everything Together
Now, grab a bowl and throw in your Bisquick mix and eggs. Give it a quick stir—don’t worry about making it perfect. It’ll look a little lumpy, and that’s okay. Once it’s loosely combined, toss in the cooked sausage, bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions. Mix it all up until everything’s evenly spread out. This part is super forgiving—just get it all in there. (source:Ineskohl.info) - Prep Your Muffin Pan
Grease your muffin pan—use whatever you’ve got. I just hit it with some cooking spray. I used a 6-hole muffin tin, but you could easily do 12 if you’re feeding a crowd (or planning ahead for the week). Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 of the way full with the mixture. Don’t worry if it’s not exact—this is not the time to get fussy. - Bake and Wait
Pop them in the oven at 350°F and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the tops are golden and they smell too good to resist. Mine took right around 20 minutes, but keep an eye on them. - Enjoy!
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a minute—if you can wait. Then, here’s the move: drizzle a little maple syrup over the top. Seriously, the sweet and savory combo is life-changing. I didn’t think these could get better, but then I added syrup, and wow.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- Freezer-Friendly: These are perfect for meal prep. Make a big batch, freeze them, and then just microwave for about 30 seconds whenever you need one. Easy.
- Cheese Options: I’m a cheddar person, but if you’ve got gouda, pepper jack, or even mozzarella lying around, go ahead and use it. Cheese is cheese—there are no bad options.
- Spice Level: The jalapeños add a nice little kick, but if you’re not into heat, feel free to skip them or just use half. Or, go wild and leave the seeds in for more heat if you’re feeling spicy.
So that’s it—super simple, and honestly, kind of addictive. These breakfast muffins are my new go-to when I want something hearty but quick. And if you’re feeling adventurous, drizzle on that syrup. You’ll thank me later.
Let me know how yours turn out!
