🛒 The Full Recipe Card
Ingredients
- 2 packages: Little Smokies cocktail sausages (approx. 1 lb total)
- 1 bottle (18 oz): Your favorite BBQ sauce
- 1 package: Refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands!)
- 2 cups: Cheddar cheese, shredded
🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the sauce and cheese from sticking.
- Cut the Biscuits: Open your package of refrigerated biscuit dough. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut each individual raw biscuit into 4 equal quarters (bite-sized pieces) and set aside.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the two packages of Little Smokies sausages with the entire 18-ounce bottle of BBQ sauce. Stir well until all the sausages are completely coated.
- Toss the Biscuits: Gently fold the raw biscuit pieces into the saucy sausage mixture, tossing lightly so the dough bits are coated in sauce but don’t stick together in a giant clump.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Evenly scatter the 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top to completely blanket the dish.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake uncovered in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. You will know it is done when the biscuit bubbles are fully cooked through, puffed up, and golden brown, and the cheese layer is completely molten and bubbling around the edges. Let it cool for 5 minutes before scooping and serving warm!
