1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Pan: Getting Ready to Bake

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Alternatively, you can grease the muffin cups with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

2. Cook the Sausage: Building a Savory Base

1. Brown Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until it’s fully browned and no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. Drain Grease: Once the sausage is cooked, carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
3. Cool Slightly: Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside to allow the sausage to cool slightly. This will make it easier to handle when mixing with the other ingredients.

3. Combine the Ingredients: Creating the Muffin Batter

1. Whisk Eggs: In a medium mixing bowl, lightly beat the 4 large eggs with a whisk or fork.
2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, cooked and drained sausage, and the Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix to the bowl with the beaten eggs.
3. Stir to Combine: Stir all the ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined. The mixture will be thick.

4. Fill the Muffin Cups: Portioning the Batter

1. Fill Cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about ¾ full.
   • Tip: A cookie scoop can help with even portioning.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Achieving Fluffy and Flavorful Muffins

1. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
2. Baking Time: Bake for about 20 minutes.
   • Check for Doneness: The muffins are done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve: Enjoying Your Savory Creation

1. Cool Slightly: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.
2. Serve Warm: Serve the Bisquick Sausage Muffins warm.
