Bisquick Sausage Balls Recipe
This classic Bisquick Sausage Balls Recipe combines pork sausage, extra sharp cheddar cheese, and baking mix for a savory, bite-sized appetizer or breakfast favorite. Simple to prepare, freezer-friendly, and perfect for gatherings.
16 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups baking mix such as Bisquick®
- 2 pounds extra-sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 pound sage-flavored pork sausage such as Neese's® Extra Sage Sausage, at room temperature
- 1 pound hot pork sausage such as Neese's® Hot Sausage, at room temperature
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare two large baking sheets by lightly greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
Combine the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, shredded cheddar cheese, sage-flavored pork sausage, and hot pork sausage. Mix thoroughly by hand until the ingredients are evenly incorporated. The mixture will be dense and sticky; ensure all components are uniformly blended.
Form the Sausage Balls
- Shape the mixture into balls, approximately 1½ inches in diameter. A medium-sized cookie scoop can assist with uniform portioning. Arrange the sausage balls on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even baking.
Bake the Sausage Balls
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sausage balls are firm to the touch, browned on the exterior, and no longer pink in the center. Rotate the sheets halfway through baking if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Cool and Serve
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Allow the sausage balls to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter. Serve warm.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the regular baking mix with a gluten-free all-purpose baking mix or a gluten-free Bisquick mix, readily available in most grocery stores. Ensure the pork sausage used does not contain any hidden gluten fillers or additives by reviewing the product label. Additionally, confirm that the shredded cheddar cheese is gluten-free, though most plain cheeses typically are. Follow the recipe as directed after making these substitutions.
