Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage, uncooked
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage, softened cream cheese, Bisquick, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
- Bake for 15 to 18 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 warm.
Notes
- You can prepare the dough ahead of time, roll the balls, and store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
- For a slightly different flavor, use half pork sausage and half turkey sausage.
- These freeze well after baking; cool completely, place in a freezer bag, and reheat in a 350 degree oven until hot.
