How To Make maple sausage and cheese muffins

  • 1
    Brown sausage in skillet and break it up into smaller pieces to well distribute through out muffins. If you need to drain sausage please do. I've never had to.
  • 2
    Add butter, maple syrup, thyme and pepper flakes to skillet and mix well until butter is melted. Turn heat off and let it cool down. I mix everything together in the skillet because I don't like to dirty too many bowls (that's just me.)
  • 3
    After it's cooled down pour the cup of Bisquick over the sausage mixture, shredded cheese and beaten eggs. Mix together gently. Making sure it's well combined.
