Y’all, I’m gonna get straight to the point, here. My family LOVES this bread. I started making it when the boys were little, and it quickly became a favorite which then turned into a “classic Southern Soul recipe.” I love serving it with Crock Pot Potato Soup, and it’s terrific with Mediterranean Pasta Salad. You could say I have this recipe on speed dial!
What Makes This Delicious Bread So Special?
- Baked into a warm, fluffy loaf, it’s comfort food to the max
- This bread is incredibly versatile and is perfect to serve with any meal.
- There’s no kneading or lengthy rising times, making it a great recipe for beginner cooks.
- The crumbly sausage and melty cheese pockets create an irresistible texture that’s soft and tender.
Sausage Cheese Bread Ingredients
- The filling – I use shredded cheese (I recommend cheddar, but you can use shredded mozzarella cheese,) Parmesan, onion, and sausage.
- The basics – For the base of the bread, I use Bisquick baking mix, milk, an egg, and mayonnaise for moisture.
- The seasoning – salt, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce, give the bread its punch of flavor.
Variations and Additions
- For a veggie twist, add spinach, fresh parsley, basil, or rosemary to the sausage bread.
- Substitute hot sauce with 1 diced and de-seeded jalapeno to make jalapeno cheese bread.
- If you don’t have Bisquick, any similar baking mix will work.
- You can use turkey or chicken sausage for a lower-fat version of this quick bread.
- Add spicy cooked sausage, or Italian sausage for additional flavor.
How To Make Cheesy Sausage Quick Bread
- Preheat the oven and spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray. Saute the onions and sausage and then drain on a paper towel.
- Combine the eggs, cheeses, and spices in a large mixing bowl. Then mix in the baking mix, milk, and mayo. This helps ensure the sausage mixture is incorporated evenly into the bread dough.
- Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes until it’s golden brown, then let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Success Tip
Spray the loaf pan with cooking spray to keep the bread from sticking. You can also line it with parchment paper which is non-stick.
