Perfect for breakfast on the run, this Sausage and Cheese Biscuit Recipe has all the goodness of breakfast combined into one jumbo biscuit that is tender and filled with flavor.
Months ago, when I went to register my daughter for kindergarten, we had the chance to request either morning or afternoon kindergarten. I already knew I wanted morning. I thought to myself that my kids are early risers anyway, and this way, we would have our afternoons open to do things if we needed/wanted to.
And then school started. And my daughter decided that she actually likes to sleep in. So for the first time in forever, I’m having to go in and wake her up, usually at least an hour after the boys get up. Then we rush through the morning routine.
Eat your breakfast, wash your face, brush your teeth, make your bed. Oh no, the bus will be here in 5 minutes and we can’t find your shoes! Did we put your homework in your backpack? The boys want to go out to the bus stop, too – hurry, let’s get their shoes on!!
And then we all rush out, with me usually still in my pajamas.
You wouldn’t think it would be so hard to get out to the bus stop by 8:45am.
(But just for the record – I am still glad with my choice of morning kindergarten. It sure is great to have that afternoon to go on adventures if we want to!)
So needless to say, I have been searching high and low for easy breakfast ideas that I can put together quickly. Ones that don’t take long to make, or that can be eaten on the run.
This Sausage and Cheese Biscuit Recipe right here? The perfect on the go breakfast.
These aren’t your typical biscuits. They are still buttery and flaky and light, but they are packed with cheese and chopped up Jones Dairy Farm Maple Sausage Links – putting all of the goodness of breakfast right into the biscuit!! These are super easy to make the night before and then simply heat up for a great on the go breakfast. And since they are made with Jones Dairy Farm Sausage Links, I can feel good about feeding them to my family since the sausages are all natural with no msg, no nitrates and no preservatives. (And if you are following a gluten-free lifestyle, they are certified gluen-free! These biscuits are not, ;), but the sausage and cheese would go great in a gluten free biscuit recipe as well!)
I made these monster sized biscuits – so that they would be the meal in and of itself. But for the kids, a half is all they needed. So feel free to cut them smaller, especially if you want to serve them with breakfast instead of for breakfast!

Perfect for breakfast on the run, this Sausage and Cheese Biscuit Recipe has all the goodness of breakfast combined into one jumbo biscuit that is tender and filled with flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
- 4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 5 Jones Dairy Farm Maple Sausage Links 1/2 of a 7 oz package, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the cheese and the chopped sausage. Pour in the milk and stir just until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Pour the mixture out onto a work surface dusted with flour. Knead just until it comes together - the dough will be sticky. Pat into a rectangle 10-1/2x7-inches. Cut into 6 squares. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Brush with the melted butter.

is the sausage precooked or raw?Reply
Deborah says
The sausage is cooked before adding it to the biscuits.

I’m not familiar with the sausage links you used – are they precooked??

Deborah says
They come raw, but you cook them before adding them to the recipe.

I’ve made this recipe twice now and I’m so in love! The second time, I prepped my dry ingredients the night before, along with chopping the butter and cheese and cooking the sausage so that I was ahead of the game in the morning. Based on my family’s reaction, I’ll be adding this to the breakfast rotation. Many thanks for a winning recipe!

Question, Can Biscuit mix be substituted for the flour etc. If so what would you leave in and what would you leave out? Trying to figure out. Thanks.

Made these for breakfast this morning, and we loved them. Do you think its possible to use buttermilk in the recipe instead of regular milk?
Reply
Deborah says
I haven’t tried it, but I’m guessing that buttermilk would work just fine!

These were so delicious! My kids loved them. Next time I’ll put in crumbled up bacon bits…yum!
Thanks for sharing the recipe.Reply
Deborah says
Yay! So glad you loved them – and I think bacon sounds like a great idea! 😉

Thanks for the advice. I will give it a try.

Do you think it would be ok to prepare dough and refrigerate overnight, then bake in morning?
Reply
Deborah says
I wouldn’t recommend making them ahead of time unless you are really in a crunch. The baking powder is what causes them to rise, and the first rise happens when the baking powder reacts with the liquid. If they aren’t baked right away, you’ll lose that lift and rise from that first reaction. I would maybe try mixing the dry ingredients together and have the other ingredients ready and that will cut down on your prep time.

I made these this afternoon and they are so good! I was planning to stick them in the freezer to pull out for easy weekday breakfasts, but they are disappearing at an alarming rate and I doubt any of them will make it that far. Thanks for a great recipe!

I’m so glad they were such a hit!! And yeah – I ate more than my fair share of them. 🙂

I made them this morning and they were a total hit with my kids. My 10-month old devoured it. Thanks for sharing. Question: do you have to refrigerate them?
Reply
Deborah says
I’m so glad they were a hit! I refrigerated my leftovers and then just heated the leftovers up in the oven for a few minutes.

I homeschool and that sounds like me in the morning-and I I don’t even have to stick them on a bus! Having an easy breakfast that will fill the kids up sure makes all the difference though. This looks great!

What a great idea!! I just made a batch for us to eat before we go hunting tomorrow. But …… I cheated, I used Southern Biscuit Formula L Biscuit Mix. It was quick and easy and all I had to pack up was the mix, sausage, cheese and milk.
Thank you for the recipe!Reply
Tamara says
Do you know if I could make these with gluten free flour?
Reply
Deborah says
I am not sure. I don’t usually bake gluten free, so I’m not sure on the substitutions.

I love this idea! My Hubby would go crazy for these biscuits!

That morning routine sounds all too familiar. Even now that my boys are getting older, there still seems to be some last-minute panic just before we leave for school. I love the idea of these biscuits, Deb!

I love morning classes vs afternoon! Gives me the morning for errands and afternoon for play. And my kids would totally love these for breakfast before running off to school!
