When you want a cozy, comforting breakfast that brings a little bit of the South into your home, these southern sausage biscuits are just the thing. With only three ingredients, they’re quick to whip up for a weekend breakfast or a brunch with friends. These biscuits are a family favorite in my house, perfect for mornings when you want something hearty yet simple. Made with flaky biscuits and savory sausage, they remind me of the warmth and love that goes into preparing meals for loved ones.
These southern sausage biscuits pair wonderfully with a side of scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad, providing a balance of flavors and textures for your breakfast spread. You can also serve them with a dollop of your favorite jam or jelly for a sweet contrast to the savory sausage. For a touch of decadence, a drizzle of honey butter adds just the right touch of sweetness.

Southern Sausage Biscuits
Servings: 4

Ingredients
8 canned buttermilk biscuits
1 pound of breakfast sausage
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it into pieces, until it is thoroughly cooked.
Roll out each biscuit to flatten slightly, then place about a tablespoon of cooked sausage and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese in the center of each biscuit.
Fold the edges of the biscuit around the filling, pinching firmly to seal.
Place the sealed biscuits seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, you can use hot sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture as it cooks. If you’re accommodating a vegetarian diet, consider using a plant-based sausage substitute. You can also experiment with different types of cheese — pepper jack for a bit of spice or mozzarella for a milder flavor. Sometimes, I like to add a spoonful of sautéed onions and bell peppers to the filling for a savory twist.
