Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls
Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls are bite-sized snacks made by mixing cheddar biscuit mix, breakfast sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and milk to form a dough shaped into 2-inch balls. They're baked until cooked through, then brushed with a seasoned butter blend for a rich, savory finish. The texture is tender and cheesy, with a slightly crisp exterior.

Ingredients
- 1 box cheddar bay biscuit mix (11.36 ounce)
- 16 ounces breakfast sausage
- 16 ounces cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- ¼ cup milk as needed
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F.
- In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, the breakfast sausage, and cheddar cheese together. Use your hands to work the mixture until it holds together. Add milk a little at a time if needed to moisten the dough and help it come together.
- Grab a small amount of the dough and squeeze it tightly with your hand to bring the dough together, then roll it between your hands to make about a 2 inch ball. Repeat with the dough until you form 32 sausage balls.
- Place the sausage balls about 1/2 inch apart on a baking sheet. The will expand slightly, but not much so they can be baked fairly close together. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until cooked through.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of butter with the included seasoning packet and mix. Once the Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls come out of the oven, brush with the garlic butter mixture.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can substitute the cheddar bay biscuit mix with 2 cups of Bisquick if unavailable.
- Store cooked sausage balls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To freeze, cool the sausage balls fully, freeze them on a sheet pan individually, then transfer to airtight containers for storage.
- Reheat frozen sausage balls directly in the oven until warmed through.
- This recipe scales easily: halve for small batches or double for larger groups or freezer meals.
