How to Make Bisquick Sausage Balls

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Trust me, the smell when these are baking is going to be incredible!!
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick® baking mix, shredded Cheddar cheese, and both types of sausage. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until you have a well-combined mixture. This might be a bit messy, but it’s so worth it!
3. Form the Balls: Once everything is mixed, start forming small balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter) with the mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake: Pop the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. They’re perfect as is, but you can also serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

Helpful Tips

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your sausages are at room temperature before mixing. This helps the ingredients blend more easily and evenly.
• Uniform Size: Try to keep your sausage balls the same size for even cooking. A cookie scoop can help with this!
• Cheese Choices: While extra-sharp Cheddar is my go-to, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to suit your taste.

Substitutions/Variations

• Different Sausages: If you’re not a fan of sage-flavored sausage, you can use all hot pork sausage or even mild sausage.
• Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the Bisquick® with a gluten-free baking mix to make these sausage balls gluten-free.
• Add Some Veggies: Finely chopped bell peppers or onions can be added for an extra burst of flavor and a bit of color.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these sausage balls ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the sausage balls ahead of time and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Just bring them to room temperature before baking for the best results.

Can I freeze Bisquick Sausage Balls?

Yes, you can! Freeze the unbaked sausage balls on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag once they’re frozen. When you’re ready to enjoy, bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What dipping sauces go well with sausage balls?

These sausage balls pair wonderfully with a variety of dipping sauces. Some of my favorites include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or a spicy aioli.

Storage Instructions

If you have any leftovers (which is rare because they’re so delicious!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
