Recipes Bisquick Sausage Balls – A Classic Party Favorite
These Bisquick Sausage Balls are a timeless party favorite combining savory sausage, sharp Cheddar cheese, and Bisquick mix into delicious bite-sized treats. Perfect for holiday gatherings, game days, or quick snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder optional
- ¼ teaspoon paprika optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, Bisquick mix, shredded Cheddar cheese, and optional seasonings like garlic powder and paprika. Use your hands or a sturdy mixing spoon to combine everything until well blended.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking. Place the sausage balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for safety.
- Remove the sausage balls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch dressing, honey mustard, or spicy ketchup.
Notes
Customize your sausage balls by using spicy sausage, turkey sausage, or even plant-based alternatives. For a flavor twist, try adding cayenne pepper or swapping Cheddar for pepper jack cheese.
