Bisquick Sausage Balls
Description
This recipe mixes 1 pound of ground pork sausage with 2 cups of biscuit baking mix, 2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, and Italian seasoning. Milk is incorporated as needed to create a smooth but firm dough. The mixture is shaped into approximately 1-inch diameter balls and arranged on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment. Baking at 350°F for 20-25 minutes produces sausage balls with a golden brown exterior and fully cooked interior.
The seasoning with Italian herbs provides aromatic complexity that complements the cheddar’s sharpness and the rich pork sausage. The sausage balls are relatively small, making them convenient finger foods suitable for parties, brunches, or snacks. Their texture balances moistness from the sausage and cheese with a slight crust from baking.
They can be prepared in advance by forming the balls and refrigerating covered overnight before baking. Additionally, they freeze well for longer storage and can be baked from frozen by adding extra cooking time. Proper airtight storage post-cooking preserves freshness for several days.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 2 cups biscuit baking mix
- 2 cups cheddar cheese freshly grated, sharp
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the sausage, baking mix, cheddar cheese, and Italian seasoning. Add milk as needed to make a smooth mixture.
- Scoop the sausage mixture into 1-inch balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
Notes
- Form sausage balls ahead of time and refrigerate covered overnight for convenience before baking.
- Store leftover cooked sausage balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for 3-4 months.
- If freezing before cooking, freeze balls solid, then transfer to freezer bags; add 8-10 minutes to baking time when baking from frozen.
