🛒 Ingredients
2 packages Little Smokies smoked sausages — about 14 oz (400 g) each
1 cup BBQ sauce — use your favorite sweet, smoky, or spicy variety
1 can refrigerated biscuits — 8-count or similar
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking spray or butter, for greasing the pan
Optional additions
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Extra BBQ sauce for serving
½ cup mozzarella for extra cheesiness
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2️⃣ Add the Little Smokies 🌭
Drain the Little Smokies if needed and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3️⃣ Add the BBQ sauce
Pour 1 cup of BBQ sauce over the sausages.
Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything together until the Little Smokies are completely coated.
For extra flavor, stir the optional garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper into the BBQ sauce before adding it.
4️⃣ Add the first layer of cheese 🧀
Sprinkle about ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the BBQ-coated sausages.
Don’t use all the cheese yet—you’ll need the rest for the topping.
5️⃣ Prepare the biscuits
Open the refrigerated biscuit can.
Cut each biscuit into 4 smaller pieces.
Try to keep the pieces relatively similar in size so they cook evenly.
6️⃣ Add the biscuits
Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly over the sausages and cheese.
Don’t pack them too tightly; leaving a little space between pieces helps the biscuits cook properly.
7️⃣ Add the remaining cheese
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese over the biscuit pieces.
For an extra-cheesy casserole, add some mozzarella as well.
8️⃣ Bake 🔥
Place the dish in the preheated oven.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until:
The biscuits are puffed and golden brown
The cheese is melted and bubbling
The BBQ sauce is hot and bubbling around the sausages
If the biscuit tops are browning too quickly while the centers aren’t finished, loosely cover the dish with foil and continue baking.
9️⃣ Make it golden
For an extra golden biscuit topping, you can brush the biscuit pieces lightly with melted butter before baking.
If needed, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
🔟 Rest & serve
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side. 🤤
⭐ Tips for the Best Results
🌭 Don’t overcrowd the biscuits: Give them room to expand and cook through.
🔥 Use a flavorful BBQ sauce: Sweet and smoky BBQ sauce works especially well with the Little Smokies.
🧀 Shred your own cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar melts beautifully.
🥓 Add bacon: Crispy chopped bacon makes this casserole even more indulgent.
🌶️ Make it spicy: Use spicy BBQ sauce or add a pinch of cayenne.
🧈 For golden biscuits: Brush the biscuit pieces with melted butter before baking.
🍽️ What to Serve With It

🧊 Storage
Let leftovers cool before transferring them to an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.

For best results, freeze the cooked sausage mixture separately from the biscuit topping if you plan to make it ahead. Refrigerated biscuits can lose some of their texture after freezing and thawing.
