Homemade Sausage Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage
- 1 can (8 biscuits) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: cheese slices or shredded cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sausage:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into the skillet.
- Cook the sausage until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the biscuit dough can.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each biscuit.
- Bake the biscuits according to the instructions on the can, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Sausage Biscuits:
- Once the sausage, eggs, and biscuits are all cooked and slightly cooled, it’s time to assemble the sausage biscuits.
- Slice each biscuit in half horizontally to create a top and bottom.
- Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs on the bottom half of each biscuit.
- Top the eggs with a portion of the cooked sausage.
- If desired, add a slice or sprinkle of cheese on top of the sausage.
- Place the top half of the biscuit over the filling to form a sandwich.
- Storage:
- Once assembled, let the sausage biscuits cool completely.
- Individually wrap each biscuit sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped biscuits in a large resealable freezer bag or airtight container.
- Label the container with the date and store it in the freezer.
- Reheating:
- To reheat, remove a wrapped biscuit from the freezer and unwrap it.
- Place the unwrapped biscuit on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Alternatively, you can reheat the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
Enjoy your homemade sausage biscuits straight from the freezer, knowing you’ve saved money and can customize them to your liking!
