  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin pan with cooking spray or line it with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, beaten eggs, salt, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked ground sausage. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!
