Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 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.
  • For easy cleanup, use a cookie scoop for uniform portions.
  • Freeze uncooked balls on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for quick future snacks.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

These sausage balls are versatile—serve them with:

Storage & Reheating

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
