Sausage muffins have been a staple in our home for a while. I remember my grandmother making sausage muffins when we would go over to her house when we were young. She got the recipe from an old Betty Crocker cookbook, I believe. They were always served warm and would be fresh out of the oven when we got to her house. She would change up the recipe regularly, adding different sausages and even throwing in some spicy pepper every now and again. My favorites always had cheese in them.

Since then, I’ve been making sausage muffins for the twins but I’ve never limited myself to breakfast sausage like so many recipes call for. Instead I use everything from Italian sausage to apple gouda sausage.
Sausage is a staple in our house, always has been. Typically less expensive then other types of meat, I’ve found a million ways to make tasty dinners, like sausage muffins, for our family.
Recently, I’ve started working with Perdue Farms and while this post isn’t sponsored, my love for buying meat online has been a lifesaver during this pandemic. I was having a very hard time finding sausage and other goodies when this first started and being able to purchase a freezer full of meat online has not only given me a peace of mind that I have what I need on hand, but it’s given me less stress by saving me a trip to the store. Right now Perdue Farms has a great sausage bundle on sale, and between the sale and our 15% off by using the code TWINS, you can have that same peace of mind too no matter if you are buying chicken or sausage for your sausage muffins.

This recipe has plenty of kick to it, but can be toned down for the less adventurous palates. This sausage muffin recipe from MelissasSouthernStyleKitchen will have you howling for more. These are a little more “Sunday afternoon football game” sausage muffins than “Monday morning snack”. These can actually be a GREAT potluck dish for your next family get together.
I’d consider using the Jalapeño Cheddar Bratwurst by Coleman Natural Foods with this one. The added beer taste will REALLY make this a touchdown.
Perfect to Freeze for Later Sausage Muffins
One of the best perks of a sausage muffin is you can make ’em, freeze ’em, and defrost as you go. This recipe from GetInspiredEveryday.com is THE best sausage muffin recipe to make ahead of time.

It’s a great base to go crazy with your sausage muffins.

So now you know the basics of sausage muffins. If you clicked all the recipes you’ll see that you can LITERALLY modify them a zillion ways. The base stays the same, but you can add and subtract till your heart is content. I’m a fan of throwing in some fresh basil and mozzarella to make them “Italian style”. I’d use the Niman Ranch Sweet Italian Sausage for those.

I’ve also made a cajun variety by tossing in “holy trinity” (carrots, celery, onion) along with some Niman Ranch Andouille Sausage for those.
Don’t let any recipe scare you, just get inspired and make some delicious sausage muffins for you and the twins. I assure you that this year, you’ll be making them for every season.
Enjoy!
