Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground pork sausage (mild or spicy)
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, Bisquick baking mix, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until everything is evenly combined. Do not overmix.
Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each ball.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the pan before serving.
Notes
For a spicier flavor, use hot ground pork sausage instead of mild.
You can prepare this mixture ahead of time, cover it, and keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours before rolling and baking.
These freezer friendly snacks bake well directly from frozen; add about 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time.
Serve these crowd pleasing snacks with your favorite dipping sauce, like honey mustard or ranch dressing.
