These Bisquick Sausage Balls are savory, cheesy, and perfect bite-sized snacks for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bisquick
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Prepare a rimmed baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick, Italian seasoning, milk, pork sausage, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive mixture.
  3. Shape Sausage Balls: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Press firmly as you shape them to ensure they hold together well during baking.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the shaped sausage balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet or rimmed baking dish.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are browned and cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the sausage balls warm for the best taste and texture. They’re perfect as a snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Bisquick sausage balls assemble quickly, making them ideal for last-minute snacks or gatherings.
  • Adjust the size of the sausage balls if desired, but cooking time may vary slightly.
  • For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or substitute Italian seasoning with your favorite herbs.
  • These sausage balls freeze well; you can freeze uncooked balls and bake them directly from frozen with a slightly longer bake time.
