Sausage balls are an easy-to-make, poppable, snackable, loveable recipe.
Pork sausage, biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk meld together, then bake to a golden perfection.
Sausage: You can use either breakfast sausage or mild or hot Italian sausage. This recipe also works with turkey sausage.
Biscuit Mix:Bisquick is ready-made, but a store-brand baking mix works too. If you don’t have any, make a homemade biscuit mix recipe!
Cheese: I love using sharp cheddar cheese as it has lots of flavor. Shred your own or use pre-shredded to make it quick.
These sausage balls have a cheesy, savory flavor and the perfect bite-sized shape!
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheese, and ground sausage. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together, adding up to ¼ cup of milk as needed.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop 1 tablespoon of sausage and roll it into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the sausage balls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
If you don’t have biscuit mix, combine 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ⅓ cup shortening. Pulse the mixture in a food processor until shortening is incorporated.
Do not use lean sausage for this recipe.
