- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuits (e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Directions:
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until well blended.

- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm as a snack or appetizer.
