Handy Sausage Biscuits
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 10 min.
YIELD: 2 dozen.
These are similar to old-fashioned biscuits made from scratch, but they're even better thanks to the tasty sausage throughout. It's almost impossible to stop eating them. I like to serve these biscuits with an egg dish or soup. —Nancy Parker, Seguin, Texas
