Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup minced red bell pepper
- ¼ cup minced yellow onion
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup Bisquick "Original" baking mix
- 4 ounces freshly shredded sharp white cheddar
- 4 ounces freshly shredded gouda
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 16 ounces bulk mild Italian sausage
- ⅓ cup Pimento Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Then add the red bell pepper and onion and saute for 3 minutes or so, until just tender. Stir in the garlic and saute another 1-2 minutes, or until the vegetables are translucent and just beginning to brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Bisquick, white cheddar, gouda, chives, parsley, and thyme.
- Next crumble in the Italian sausage and add the pimento cheese and sauteed vegetables.
- Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined, taking care to not compact the sausage.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into 1-inch balls. I use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to make sure they’re all the same size.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1” between them. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage and cheese balls are golden brown and cooked through (160°F on an instant read thermometer).
- Drain the sausage cheese balls on a paper towel lined pan, briefly. Then transfer to a serving dish and serve with your favorite sauces - BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, honey mustard, sriracha mayo, garlic aioli, or sweet chili sauce are all great choices!
