Sausage Cheese Biscuits
Packed with breakfast sausage and chunks of cheddar cheese, these biscuits (a.k.a. scones) are a perfect accompaniment to eggs, grits, or a cup of fresh fruit salad. Or simply grab one on your way out the door; 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave will heat it up nicely.

Very easy. I was a little skeptical at first because the ingredients seem very crumbly and hard to stir. Once I got it on the parchment and just patted it all together it came together nicely. My children LOVE them. SO easy and great for on the go or quick breakfast without all the sugar. These will definitely be heading to the deer lease with the guys this season.

I made these with 3/4 KAF all purpose and 1/4 KAF 100% whole wheat flours, as well as cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage. I also used the KAF Pizza Dough Flavor...and they came out fairly salty. They weren't bad, but I likely won't make them again. Disappointing because they sounded soooo tasty.

I made these with what I had on hand: turkey sausage patties, fancy shredded cheddar, and kefir (subbed for buttermilk). I did not have the pizza dough flavor. They turned out great. My daughter took them to work for the morning shift of lifeguards and they were a hit! I loved the idea of doing all the prep on the parchment and then just sliding onto the baking sheet, no mess & no clean up!! Definitely will be making these again, perfect for a brunch or morning coffee get-together.

This is a great breakfast item. I made sausage gravy to go with it. DON'T COUNT CALORIES with this additiona.

Used sour cream, Aldi's bulk sausage and colby/jack cheese. Wish I had a stronger cheese as there was not much cheese flavor, but biscuits were still great. Served them for Memorial Day brunch on the porch. Thought there would be plenty leftovers, but they were gone quickly! Definitely will add to the brunch bread rotation with cinnamon rolls, apple/bacon strudel, etc.

My husband and his coworkers have gone crazy over these biscuits. I used Bob Evans brand sausage links the first time I made them, but then this morning I decided to use crispy bacon (as was suggested by an earlier poster). I believe the "bacon" biscuits may be even better than those made with sausage. I really didn't use that much bacon - I think I used 6 slices of bacon. I also grated the cheddar cheese, and added a bit of Parmesan cheese too. The addition of the "pizza dough flavor" probably puts these over the top. Without a doubt, I'll be making these often.

Because of my husband's new diet restrictions I used turkey sausage, non fat Greek yogurt, and Smart Balance butter. I couldn't find a low fat colby cheese so I used 2% mild cheddar and I also skipped the melted butter on top. My husband liked it a lot. This is only our first week with the restrictions so it's nice that I am finding things that he likes early.
