Instructions

Prep the Filling

1. In a bowl, mix together cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, cream cheese, garlic powder, pepper, and green onion (if using). Stir until well combined.

Stuff the Biscuits

3. Separate the biscuits, and flatten each into a 3-inch circle.
4. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into the center of each circle.
5. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal and roll gently into a ball.
6. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Bake

7. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown and puffed.

Brush with Butter

8. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over warm biscuit bites.
9. Sprinkle with parsley or chives, if desired.

FAQ
