How to Make Old English Sausage Muffins

This sausage muffins recipe comes together with just a handful of simple ingredients. Start by browning the ground pork sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain the sausage well and let it cool slightly before mixing it with the remaining ingredients.

In a large bowl, stir together the cooked sausage, onion powder, garlic powder, Bisquick, and shredded cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, combine the Old English cheese spread, Worcestershire sauce, and buttermilk. Pour the cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is combined.

Spoon the mixture into greased mini muffin pans, filling each cup to the top. Bake until the tops are golden brown and the muffins are cooked through. Garnis with parsley. Serve warm for breakfast, game day, or anytime you need an easy snack.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Old English cheese spread? It is a sharp cheddar cheese spread that comes in a small glass jar (usually found in the cracker or cheese aisle). It gives these muffins an incredibly rich texture and deep cheesy flavor.
• Can I use regular pork sausage?Absolutely. If you prefer less heat, regular mild ground sausage works perfectly fine, though the hot sausage adds a great kick of flavor.
  • Be sure to drain the cooked sausage well so the muffins aren’t greasy.
• Freshly shredded cheddar cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
• Don’t overmix the batter: When you stir the wet and dry ingredients together, mix just until the flour disappears. Overmixing can make the muffins a bit dense.
• A small cookie scoop makes it easy to fill the muffin tin evenly.
• This recipe makes about 48 mini sausage muffins.
• You can bake these in a regular 12-cup muffin pan. Increase the baking time and check for doneness in the center.
• Want to change the flavor? Try pepper jack or mozzarella instead of cheddar cheese.

Storage Tips

• Make Ahead:Bake the sausage muffinsup to 24 hours ahead. Store covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
  • You can also mix up the dry ingredients and brown the sausage the night before. Keep them separate in the fridge, then just combine with the wet ingredients and bake fresh in the morning.
• Freezer:Freeze cooled muffins in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
  • To Reheat: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat directly from frozen in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
• Leftovers: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
