2 cups (240g) Bisquick or self-rising baking mix
2 cups (200g) Sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
2 tbsp Milk or water (optional, if dough needs extra moisture)

2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the ground sausage, baking mix, and shredded cheddar cheese together until thoroughly combined into a thick dough. (Use clean hands to knead everything together smoothly).
3. Press Into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down firmly and evenly using your fingers or a spatula.
4. Bake to Golden: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown, bubbly, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
5. Cool & Slice: Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Slice into bite-sized squares and serve warm!
Chef’s Tips
Shred Your Own Cheese: Pre-shredded bagged cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent a smooth, melty texture. Shredding sharp cheddar fresh from the block makes all the difference!
Spice It Up: Use hot Italian or sage ground sausage to add an extra kick of spice to the squares.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes! Allow the baked squares to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to make the edges crispy again.
