Ingredients
  

Fillings

  • 1 lb Pan Breakfast Sausage, browned
  • 8 oz Cheddar Cheese, shredded*

Dough for Biscuits

  • 2½ cups Soft White Wheat flour (can substitute another fresh milled whole grain or all purpose flour, see tips below)**
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 5 tbsp Lard (can substitute with unsalted butter or shortening)
  • ¾ cup Buttermilk (see tips below)***

Instructions
 

Fillings

  • Preheat oven to 450° F.
  • On stovetop, brown sausage in pan, breaking up while cooking so no large pieces are clumped together. Remove from heat and let cool.
    1 lb Pan Breakfast Sausage, browned
  • Shred block of cheese and set aside.
    8 oz Cheddar Cheese, shredded*

Biscuit Dough

  • In a heavy glass bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
    2½ cups Soft White Wheat flour (can substitute another fresh milled whole grain or all purpose flour, see tips below)**, 1 tbsp Baking powder, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • Add lard or butter. Use a pastry blender, fork, or *clean* fingers to incorporate the fat into the flour until it's well mixed and crumbly.
    5 tbsp Lard (can substitute with unsalted butter or shortening)
  • Pour in buttermilk and mix well using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon.
    ¾ cup Buttermilk (see tips below)***

Compile

  • Set out 9"x13" baking dish and either line with parchment paper (easy clean up!) or grease with lard or olive oil.
  • Add shredded cheese and cooled browned sausage to biscuit dough. Mix well (I use my clean hands), dough will be thick. Place in baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Cut into desired serving sizes (I do eight evenly proportioned pieces) and either serve warm or freeze.****

Notes

Tips
*Cheddar cheese is what I use but whatever you prefer would work great. I never buy shredded cheese, I always buy a block and shred it myself. It's less expensive AND doesn't contain any unhealthy hidden anti-caking agents. 
**If substituting whole grain wheat for all purpose flour, omit baking powder and baking soda.
***If you don't have buttermilk, add 2 teaspoons of either lemon juice or white vinegar to 3/4 cup of milk before you begin preparing this recipe. By the time you're ready to add the "buttermilk," the concoction will have thickened and be ready for use.
****To freeze, wrap each serving individually in wax paper and place in freezer bag.
