A McDonald's Sausage Biscuit is $2.49 and 460 calories. It is the cheapest hot breakfast sandwich on the menu, and one of only two that qualify for the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal.
A McDonald's Sausage Biscuit contains 460 calories, 11g of protein and 14g of saturated fat, and costs $2.49 at the national midpoint. Five other biscuit sandwiches sit alongside it, running from 390 to 530 calories.
Biscuits are the cheapest way into a hot McDonald's breakfast and the only items on the menu baked fresh in the restaurant each morning. They also carry the highest saturated fat of any breakfast range, which is the trade-off nobody puts on the board. This page covers every version with prices and calories, the full nutrition, and how they compare to the McMuffins. Prices for the rest of the board are on our McDonald's breakfast menu, and serving cut-offs are on breakfast hours.
Our surveyed national midpoint is $2.49 for the plain version, which makes it the cheapest hot breakfast sandwich McDonald's sells. It is an official Under $3 Menu item, so participating restaurants price it below three dollars, but franchisees set their own board.
Six versions sit alongside the McDonald's Sausage Biscuit where a restaurant stocks them all, running from 390 calories for the meatless one to 530 for the fully loaded. There is one oddity in this table worth pausing on.
A McDonald's Sausage Biscuit is 460 calories with 11g of protein. The number that deserves attention is saturated fat: at 14g this is the highest of any single breakfast sandwich on the menu, and it comes from the biscuit as much as the sausage.
At 30mg the plain version is the lowest cholesterol hot item on the breakfast menu, because there is no egg. Add the egg and it jumps to 265mg. If dietary cholesterol is your concern rather than saturated fat, this is an unusually good pick.

A McDonald's Sausage Biscuit holds three things: a warm buttermilk biscuit brushed with real salted butter, and a seasoned pork sausage patty. No egg, no cheese and no sauce unless you order a version that includes them.
This is the only bread on the McDonald's breakfast menu baked on site rather than delivered finished. Restaurants receive prepared dough and bake it through the morning, which is why a biscuit ordered at 6am and one at 10am can differ noticeably in texture. It is also why they run out at some locations before breakfast ends.
Contains wheat and milk, plus egg in the with-egg versions. Not suitable for gluten free, dairy free or vegetarian diets. Full detail on McDonald's own product page.
The two cheapest hot breakfast sandwiches are the McDonald's Sausage Biscuit at $2.49 and the Sausage McMuffin at $2.89, and both sit on the Under $3 Menu. Forty cents separates them; sixty calories and eight grams of saturated fat separate them too.
No. Breakfast only, ending between 10:30am and 11:00am at most restaurants. Because biscuits are baked on site in batches, some locations sell out before the cut-off. All Day Breakfast ran from 2015 to 2020 and has not returned nationally. Times are on our breakfast hours page.
460 calories, with 11g of protein, 31g of fat and 34g of carbohydrate. Adding egg and cheese takes it to 530. The Egg & Cheese Biscuit without meat is the lightest of the range at 390.
$2.49 at the national midpoint, which makes it the cheapest hot breakfast sandwich on the menu. It is an official Under $3 Menu item. If you see $3.79 published, that is a delivery price rather than the counter board.
A warm buttermilk biscuit brushed with real salted butter and a seasoned pork sausage patty. No egg, no cheese and no sauce as standard. The sausage is the same patty used in the Sausage McMuffin.
Bacon, Egg & Cheese at 19g, and it is the smart order: it carries the same 460 calories as a plain McDonald's Sausage Biscuit but nearly double the protein. Sausage, Egg & Cheese is close at 18g but costs 530 calories.
Yes. Restaurants receive prepared dough and bake it through the morning, which makes this the only bread on the breakfast menu made on site. It is also why some locations sell out before breakfast ends.
Same sausage patty, different bread. The biscuit is 40 cents cheaper but adds 60 calories and 4g of saturated fat. The Sausage McMuffin is 400 calories against 460 and has 3g more protein.
The saturated fat is the problem: 14g is 70 percent of the daily maximum and the highest of any breakfast sandwich McDonald's sells. Sodium is 1,070mg. Cholesterol is unusually low at 30mg because there is no egg.
Yes. It is one of only two sandwiches that qualify, alongside the Sausage McMuffin. The deal adds hash browns and a small Premium Roast Coffee for $1.51 more than the sandwich alone, taking the meal to 605 calories.
Yes, though McDonald's sells those as separate menu items rather than modifiers. Sausage & Cheese Biscuit is $3.19 and Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit is $5.59. Adding at the kiosk usually costs around a dollar per item.
No. Breakfast only, ending between 10:30am and 11:00am at most restaurants. Because biscuits are baked on site in batches, some locations run out before the cut-off. Times are on our breakfast hours page.
