Description
Soft, cheesy Bisquick sausage balls baked until golden brown, perfect for quick breakfast spreads, game day snacks, or easy make-ahead party appetizers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound raw ground pork sausage
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3–4 tablespoons milk, as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the raw sausage and Bisquick baking mix until evenly mixed.
- Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and work it into the mixture with your hands.
- If the mixture looks dry or crumbly, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds together easily.
- Roll the mixture into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through in the center.
- Let the Bisquick sausage balls cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use full-fat pork sausage for the most tender, flavorful sausage balls.
- For make-ahead prep, roll the balls and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
- To freeze, freeze formed raw balls on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to crisp the outside again.
