Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)
- 1 pound shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (or Italian sausage)
- up to ¼ cup milk (as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and ground sausage. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated and the mixture starts to hold together. Add up to ¼ cup milk gradually if the mixture is too dry to help bind the ingredients.
- Form Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture and roll it into a compact ball with your hands. Place each ball evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the sausage balls are golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Notes
- Use Italian sausage for a spiced variation or mild sausage for a classic flavor.
- Adjust the milk quantity as needed to get a dough-like consistency for easy shaping.
- Serve warm with mustard or dipping sauces of your choice.
- Make ahead and store baked sausage balls in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
