INGREDIENTS You Need for This:

Here’s the Bisquick Sausage Balls ingredient list that is SHORT but mighty.

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (I prefer a spicy variety for extra zing!)
• 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (sharp cheddar gives the best flavor!)
• 1/2 cup milk (whole milk adds richness, but any milk will work)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (trust me on this one – it’s a game-changer!)

The secret to epic Bisquick Sausage Balls is using high-quality sausage. I usually head to my local butcher for the good stuff, but any flavorful breakfast sausage will do.

Splurge on sharp cheddar cheese for this Bisquick Sausage Balls ingredient. The extra flavor punch is totally worth it! You’ll find the best cheddar for this recipe at your local cheese shop or even the fancy cheese section of your grocery store.

For a little extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Bisquick Sausage Balls mixture. It’s the perfect way to add some heat. You can substitute Italian sausage.

Storage wisdom: Shred your cheese ahead of time for easy mixing, and make sure your sausage is thawed completely. This will make the whole process a breeze.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Ready to make some Bisquick Sausage Balls magic? Let’s get started!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. This will prevent your Bisquick Sausage Balls from sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, Bisquick baking mix, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder. Don’t stress – your Bisquick Sausage Balls is going to be incredible.
3. Use your hands (yes, get in there!) to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined. This is where your Bisquick Sausage Balls transforms into pure magic.
4. Roll the sausage mixture into 1-inch balls. Pro tip for Bisquick Sausage Balls perfection: use a small cookie scoop to ensure uniform size.
5. Place the sausage balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave a little space between each one.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. In my kitchen, this Bisquick Sausage Balls takes exactly 22 minutes.
7. Let the sausage cheese balls cool slightly before serving. Your Bisquick Sausage Balls should look golden brown and smell absolutely amazing.

Here’s where most people mess up their Bisquick Sausage Balls – they overbake them! Keep a close eye on them and pull them out when they’re golden brown.

While your Bisquick Sausage Balls is working its magic in the oven, grab your camera – this is Instagram gold! I would rate this an easy sausage balls recipe.

If you want to make these ahead of time, you can freeze the unbaked Bisquick Sausage Balls. Just place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, add a few minutes to the baking time.

FAQs:

Got questions about making these Bisquick Sausage Balls? I’ve got answers!

  While Bisquick is the key ingredient in Bisquick Sausage Balls, you can make your own substitute by combining flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening.

My Bisquick Sausage Balls Power Tips:

• Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing can result in tough sausage balls.
• Use cold ingredients: Cold ingredients help the sausage balls hold their shape.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet: Overcrowding can cause the sausage balls to steam instead of brown.

Here are a few Bisquick Sausage Balls variations that I’ve created and loved:

• Spicy Sausage Balls: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
• Italian Sausage Balls: Use Italian sausage and add some dried oregano and basil.
• Jalapeño Cheese Sausage Balls: Add some chopped jalapeños and extra cheese.
