These sausage balls are a classic appetizer combining savory sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and a light biscuit texture. They’re quick to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground sausage (spicy or mild, based on preference)
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground sausage, Bisquick mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk until well combined. Using your hands can help ensure even mixing.
  3. Form Balls: Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Sausage Options: Feel free to use your preferred type of sausage, whether it’s spicy, mild, or even a flavored variety.
  • Cheese Variations: While cheddar is traditional, you can experiment with other cheeses like pepper jack or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to retain their crispiness.
