- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Prep Your Oven
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix It Up
In a large bowl, combine the sausage, Bisquick, cheddar, Parmesan, milk, and spices. Mix until thoroughly combined—you may need to use your hands to bring it all together.
3. Roll and Place
Form 1-inch balls and place them evenly on the baking sheet. You should get about 30–36 balls.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden and fully cooked through.
5. Serve
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips for Success
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor.
- If the mixture is too dry, add an extra splash of milk.
