Ingredients
- 16 oz. Tube Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Flaky Biscuits (8 ct.)
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 lb Sweet Italian Sausage
- ⅛ Tsp. Salt
- 1 ½ Tsp. Fennel
- 3 oz. Canned Diced Jalapenos (Fire Roasted) (or you can use 1-2 jalapenos)
- 3 oz. Jarred Sliced Sweet Pimentos (plus 2 tbsp. reserved liquid)
- 10 oz. Cream Cheese
Mini Muffin Tin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Remove sausage from its casing by squeezing it out or by slicing open the casing. Add oil, fennel seeds and sausage to a skillet over high heat. Chop up sausage using the flat end of a wooden spatula. When your sausage is golden brown, it's ready. **(If you are using a fresh jalapeno instead of canned, you should add it with the sausage before browning).
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- While waiting, pop open your biscuits and separate each biscuit in half. Press the layers in a mini muffin tin all the way up the sides. You should have 16 cups. (2 from each biscuit)
- Take the pimentos out of the jar and dice them up. Add them to a mixing bowl along with 2 tablespoon of the pimento liquid. Add your jalapenos (if not already in the sausage mixture).
- Add your cream cheese and sausage mixture to the same bowl and mix until combined. (Make sure you drain the oil from the sausage first.)
- Fill each biscuit cup all the way up with the sausage mixture and bake for 18-20 minutes or until biscuit edges are golden brown. Serve warm!
Notes
Party Tips*
Bake ahead and freeze! These can then be warmed up in the oven at 350 F for about 10 minutes depending if they are frozen or not.
If I do this, I will usually under bake them by a few minutes to make sure they do not dry out next time I throw them in the oven.
Add some diced pimentos on top before baking for some added color.
Add more jalapenos if you want more heat!
