Sausage Balls Ingredients
- 2 cups biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)
- 1 pound shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (or Italian sausage)
- Up to ¼ cup milk (as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and ground sausage. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the mixture holds together, adding up to ¼ cup of milk if the mixture is too dry.
- Form Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between them. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Bake: Bake the sausage balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Notes
- You can substitute ground Italian sausage for a spicier flavor.
- The amount of milk may vary depending on the biscuit mix brand; add gradually to avoid a wet mixture.
- For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free cheese and biscuit mix.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard or ranch dressing.
- Leftover sausage balls can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
