Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick Original Baking Mix
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and Bisquick baking mix.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until everything is just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the pan before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute 1/2 cup of the Bisquick with 4 ounces of softened cream cheese. Mix this in with the other ingredients.
- You can make these ahead. Store unbaked balls on a tray in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, or freeze them raw for up to 3 months. Bake frozen balls for a few extra minutes.
- These are excellent served with a side of maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce.
