Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits are the perfect combination of savory sausage and sharp cheddar cheese, all baked into a warm, flaky biscuit. These easy-to-make biscuits are ideal for breakfast on the go or a quick snack. You can whip up a batch with just a few simple ingredients in no time. The rich flavor of the sausage blends perfectly with the cheesy goodness, making every bite satisfying and delicious.
For this reason, we have a big home-cooked family breakfast on the weekends. We have any combination of homemade biscuits, waffles, or pancakes with bacon or sausage, eggs, and gravy. Sometimes, when I plan well enough, I make cinnamon rolls, my favorite.
Those family breakfast favorites got me thinking about a way to make something similar during the week. So, I mixed sausage and cheese into homemade biscuits! And they’re FABULOUS!
These are the most amazing breakfast biscuits ever! They’re loaded with fresh crumbled sausage chunks, sharp cheddar cheese, and green onions if desired. You’ll want this for breakfast every single morning!

- 1 pound pork sausage cooked and drained
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter salted or unsalted, cut into small cubes
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons green onions sliced, green part only
Sausage Cheese Biscuit Tips
- If you prefer more biscuit and less ‘filling’, you can cut the sausage and cheese in half.
- You can use sour cream, Greek yogurt, or plain yogurt for the buttermilk.
- You can also make ‘buttermilk’ by adding one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk, stirring, and giving it about 10 minutes to curdle.
- Finally, you can substitute ham or bacon for the sausage. You can substitute Monterrey, pepper jack, gruyere, and Swiss for the cheddar.

Freezing and Reheating
These biscuits are best the day they are made. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can then be re-warm in the microwave or oven.

To freeze biscuits
Baked biscuits should be completely cooled on a wire rack before wrapping and freezing. To prevent them from drying out, wrap them tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil or pack them in freezer bags.
To reheat
- Microwave on HIGH for 10 to 30 seconds.
- For the oven, place the foil-wrapped package in a preheated 300°F oven. Heat thawed biscuits for about 10 minutes or frozen biscuits for about 20 minutes.
For an all-in-one breakfast, make a batch of my Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits. This portable breakfast has sausage and cheese baked right into tender and flaky biscuits.
Homemade Sausage Cheddar Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork sausage cooked and drained
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter salted or unsalted, cut into small cubes
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons green onions sliced, green part only
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking pan.
- Cook and drain sausage.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture has pea-sized crumbs. Stir in the sausage and cheese (and green onions if you're adding them.)
- Add the buttermilk and combine. I find it easiest to use a fork to gently stir the mixture until all of the dry ingredients are moistened. Then, use your hands to knead the mixture a few times in the bowl to bring the dough together.
- Turn the dough out onto a parchment-lined counter and pat into an 8×10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 squares.
- Transfer the biscuits to the baking pan, leaving 1-inches between each biscuit. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the melted butter.
- Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes.

Very easy to make and very fluffy. Delicious!
I make these as Christmas presents and freeze them prior to baking so people can bake fresh. They are a hit! Great recipe
Could I use bisquick when I am short on time? Just add the cheese, sausage and onion? I’ve made cheese sausage biscuits with that exact recipe (a family tradition) and roll them out and cut them with a biscuit cutter. Then bake.
Would that work the same if I use the same method of shaping the dough and the casserole dish?
Yes, you can use Bisquick and yes in the casserole dish.
Second time I have made these. This recipe is absolutely delicious! Cut into 24 this time. The kids absolutely love them, along with the rest of us.
I made them yummy. I used Unflavored Kiefer instead of buttermilk added an egg then added about 1/4 cup extra Kiefer when mixing, I added 1 tsp cream of tartar instead of the soda. They puffed up and needed all the room on the parchment lined cookie sheet. I’ll definitely try again as hubby was wonderfully impressed with fried eggs on top.
Thank you
You did 👍 good
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you liked them!!
These were delicious! Bread was soft & fluffy.
I did add about 1 cup more of buttermilk. I thought they were too dry after mixing.
I used turkey sausage and everyone loved them!
I’ve made these twice & they’re now part of my family’s weekly meals. I agree as they were a bit dry. I patted in extra Buttermilk several times on top of each Biscuit prior to baking & that really helped to solve the dry problem. Also, our Westie ❤️ the crumbs.
They look really good !! Do they freeze well and if so recommendations on re-heating! Thanks
Yes
Could you use self rising flour with these and leave out the salt, baking powder and baking soda? I don’t have them in my pantry.
yes, you can
Just made 2 batches: 1using the original recipe and 1 with ham and mozzarella cheese. Have a houseful of family visiting and everyone loved them.
Yay! Ham and mozzarella sounds wonderful!
Can I put these together at night and bake them in the morning?
I find they don’t rise as much when refrigerated overnight but they’re still good.
