It’s tailgating time again! We are making these Sausage Biscuits Bites for the game this weekend. We’ve made these several times; they are SO good! These are great for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner. Chicken Legs highly recommends serving these with some warm maple syrup.
How to Make Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Bites
These biscuits are super easy to make. In a large bowl, combine breakfast sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the sausage mixture and form it into 40 balls. Take refrigerated biscuits and split them into two rounds each. Place the biscuit dough in a mini muffin pan. Press the sausage ball into the biscuit and bake. I was worried that these biscuit bites would be greasy, but they weren’t. They are delicious!
Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Sausage Biscuit Bites be made in advance? Yes! You can roll the sausage and cheese into balls ahead of time and assemble the biscuit bites when you are ready to bake them.
- What brand of sausage do you use? I use Tennessee Pride or Jimmy Dean sausage.
- Use a roll of hot sausage for a little kick.
- You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage if you prefer.
- This recipe uses smaller refrigerated biscuits. Look for 6-oz cans of biscuits. They will have 5 biscuits per can. You need 4 cans or 20 biscuits total.
- They are sometimes called Grands Jr
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
What to Serve with Sausage Biscuits Bites
As I said, we LOVE these biscuits! They are so easy to make and they taste great!!! You can dip the bites in some Homemade Ranch Dressing or Homemade Salsa. If you are making these for breakfast, whip up some eggs and grits, and you are set!

Sausage Biscuit Bites
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 4 (6-oz) cans flaky biscuits (20 biscuits total)
- 1 lb sausage, uncooked
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly spray a MINI muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Mix uncooked sausage and cheese gently until well blended. Shape into 40 balls of equal size.

- Place sausage-cheese ball in each biscuit cup.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until biscuits are browned and sausage balls are bubbly.
Notes:
- Do NOT precook the sausage. You are going to use the sausage raw. It will cook along with the biscuits.
- You can roll the sausage and cheese into balls ahead of time and assemble the biscuit bites when you are ready to bake them.
- I use Tennessee Pride or Jimmy Dean sausage.
- You can substitute turkey sausage for the pork sausage if you prefer.

Can u freeze these
I think it would be fine to freeze them after baking.
My Daughter and Granddaughter are not sausage fans. If I made these for everyone else, how do you think they would turn out using ground beef in place of sausage?
my gosh ! these sound great !
Made these for my Sunday School class at church yesterday and they were a HUGE hit! Thank you!
Use a small ice scoop to portion them. You get a consistent size which means everything should be done at the same time.

About how big were the sausage balls? About a teaspoon of sausage? Or less?
It was more than a teaspoon. I just divided the sausage into 40 pieces. They were closer to a tablespoon.
Alabama Girl with a War Eagle Heart, Living in Arizona. This crowd loves sausage balls and these are Fantastic!

Does the sausage cook completely in such a short time?
Mine did.
Do you think you can make these ahead and freeze them? I'm looking for breakfast recipes I can make, freeze, and give to a friend for her Christmas breakfast.
You can. Bake them first and then freeze them.
We love sausage balls during the holidays, with bisquick mixed in, but I love this idea of putting the sausage in a biscuit cup! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy them!
Made these for a large group of family at the beach. Easy and awsome. We do this again for sure
glad to hear they were a hit!
I just made these for my husband and son to have as a grab and go breakfast. I don't know if they will make it till morning!!! So easy and so yummy! Thanks for sharing!
so glad y'all enjoyed them!
Can these be frozen and reheated as a ready quick breakfast? If so does anyone know the just right microwave times?
How long will the leftovers keep?
Moniqua – I just used a roll of breakfast sausage. Jimmy Dean or Tennessee Pride.
Is the sausage in links?
I made my own homemade biscuits for this recipe, and my hubby absolutely loved them! Simple, easy, and Fantastic recipe. Will definitely make again and again. :]
can these be kept warmed in a crock pot after baking?

Monica – mine were done in 8-10 minutes, but all ovens are different. I would check one at 8 minutes and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Looks delicious! Is 8-10 minutes enough time to cook the sausage thoroughly?
Can't wait to try these…look yummy!
Absolutely making these for our UGA vs. USC party next Saturday! GO DAWGS!
These sound awesome
Football food makes the world a better place. And these look epically awesome.
