Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup quick cooking grits

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Cook the sausage in a skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. When fully cooked through & crumbled, drain the sausage. Set aside.

  • Add the wet ingredients- butter, eggs, buttermilk, & honey- stirring just until evenly mixed.
  • Using a spatula, add the sausage & cheese to the bowl, and fold it into the batter.
  • Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non stick cooking spray.
  • Add the batter to the muffin tins, dividing it as evenly as possible between all twelve.
