Ingredients:
- 1 pound of ground sausage, either breakfast or Italian variety.
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheeses like Monterey Jack or mozzarella)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup of melted butter or vegetable oil for added moisture.
- ¼ cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and either line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the individual muffin cups.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles. Remove any extra grease and allow the cooked sausage to rest for a few minutes until it cools slightly.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and melted butter (or vegetable oil) until smooth.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Add the sausage and cheese: Gently fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon into muffin tin: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Let cool and enjoy: Take the muffins out of the oven and let them sit in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
