Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Muffins

I got this simple recipe from Facebook.

It called for flaky layered biscuits, which I couldn’t find, so I substituted Pillsbury's jumbo biscuits, using half of each biscuit dough per muffin.

It also called for plain sausage, but I’d bought a huge amount of Italian sausage at Costco (you know how that goes), so that’s what I used.

Then, instead of just using cheddar cheese, I mixed in Mozzarella because after all, the muffins had morphed into Italian.

These are so easy to make, and so delicious.

Ingredients

• PILLSBURY BISCUITS, 1 ten-count can
• ITALIAN SAUSAGE , ½ pound in casings
• MOZZARELLA CHEESE, ½ cup shredded
• CHEDDAR CHEESE, ½ cup shredded

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Mix uncooked sausage and cheese gently until well blended. Shape into 20 balls of equal size.
3. Remove biscuits from cans and separate each biscuit into two layers, making 20 total biscuit layers. Press one layer of biscuit into cup of lightly greased mini-cupcake pan. Repeat with remaining layers.
4. Place sausage-cheese ball in each biscuit cup. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until biscuits are browned and sausage balls are bubbly.
