Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.

Prepare the sausage mixture: In a large bowl, gently mix the uncooked sausage and cheese until well combined. Shape into 40 small sausage balls.

Prepare the biscuits: Separate each biscuit into two thinner layers, creating 40 total layers. Press one biscuit layer into each mini muffin cup to form a small cup shape.

Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the sausage mixture is bubbling.
