Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups biscuit mix
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare a 6-cup muffin tin by lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until the meat is fully browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté the vegetables until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, milk, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the sausage and pepper mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Spoon the biscuit dough over the sausage mixture, covering each cup. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each cobbler.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the cobblers rest in the tin for 5 minutes. Carefully remove and serve warm.
Tips
- Choose Quality Sausage: Opt for high-quality Italian sausage for the best flavor. You can choose spicy or mild based on your preference.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to the sausage mixture for added flavor and nutrition.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: When combining the biscuit mix and milk, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Use Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh herbs on hand, like basil or oregano, feel free to substitute them for the Italian seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cobblers a few minutes early to ensure they don’t over-bake. Look for a golden-brown topping!
- Serve with a Side: These cobblers pair beautifully with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
