Now that we’ve covered the ingredients, let’s get down to the fun part: making the muffins! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a batch of delicious sausage muffins ready in no time.
Preheating the Oven: Setting the Stage
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and attain that beautiful golden brown color. While the oven is heating up, take a moment to gather all your ingredients and tools. You’ll need a mixing bowl, a whisk, a muffin tin, and a trusty spatula.
Mixing It All Together: The Grand Symphony
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick, cooked sausage, beaten eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky, with all the ingredients evenly distributed. If it looks a little dry, you can add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
Scooping the Mixture: The Art of Portioning
Next, grease your muffin tin well with cooking spray or a little melted butter. This will prevent the muffins from sticking and make them easier to remove once baked. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. This allows room for the muffins to rise and puff up as they bake.
Baking to Perfection: The Final Countdown
Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to ensure they don’t overbake. Once done, remove the tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. And there you have it – perfectly baked sausage muffins, ready to be devoured!
