My sausage and cream cheese bites are simple to make and absolutely delicious. Each flaky biscuit cup is filled with a cheesy, creamy, sausage mixture that makes the perfect bite. These are great for any occasion especially game day gatherings, parties, holidays, and more.
If you have a can of Grands biscuits in your refrigerator, you have to give these sausage and cream cheese bites a try. They are warm, cheesy, and the perfect bite for holiday appetizers, game day snacks, or a Sunday brunch.
I’ve been making these sausage biscuit bites for years and they are always a hit with the family. Last year I decided to add in the red pepper and green onion for a Christmas party and now I never leave them out. They add great color and flavor, and just the right amount of crunch.
I love that you can make a batch of these in about 30 minutes with not much fuss.

Ingredients
One of the things I love about this sausage and cream cheese bites recipe is that it requires just a few simple ingredients.
- Sausage: Use your favorite breakfast sausage.
- Red bell peppers: Finely diced red bell pepper adds color and a hint of sweetness.
- Worcestershire sauce: A little bit of Worcestershire adds a savory depth of flavor to the sausage.
- Cream cheese: This is the base of the sausage filling. It will also help to hold everything together.
- Shredded cheese: Shredded cheese adds delicious flavor. I like using Colby Jack but you can also use Cheddar cheese.
- Green onions: Sliced green onions adds more color and mild onion flavor.
- Canned Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits: Flaky biscuits form the “cup” that holds the filling.

Heather’s recipe tips
- Cook the sausage well and drain any excess grease.
- Dice the peppers small.
- If you can use freshly shredded cheese, it melts the best. Prepackaged shredded cheese is fine, but freshly shredded has the best flavor and consistency.
- Try to split the biscuit dough evenly.
- This recipe makes 16 biscuit cups.
Variations
- Sausage: I am using original breakfast sausage but you can substitute with spicy, Italian, or sage sausage.
- Eggs: Add in some scrambled eggs for a breakfast version.
- Spicy: Stir in some chopped jalapeños or green chilis with the sausage mixture.
- More vegetables: Add in more vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
Storage instructions
Store: Let the bites completely cool. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Freeze: You can freeze these for up to 2 months. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze them until solid. Put them in a freezer safe bag or container.
Reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes.
