Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound hot pork sausage
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Sausage and Cream Cheese: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the hot pork sausage and softened cream cheese. You can also use a hand mixer or mix by hand until well blended.
- Add Bisquick Mix: Gradually add 2 cups of Bisquick baking mix to the sausage and cream cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined. Ensure you gently spoon the Bisquick into the measuring cup without packing it down to avoid dry sausage balls.
- Incorporate Cheddar Cheese: Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture. Feel free to add more if you prefer cheesier sausage balls. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Form Balls: Scoop the mixture and form into 1-inch balls using a spring-loaded cookie scoop or roll by hand to achieve round shapes. Place the formed balls on the prepared baking sheets.
- Chill: Refrigerate the sausage balls for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape and prevent spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm for a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- The cream cheese keeps these sausage balls creamy and moist for a delicious texture.
- Do not pack down the Bisquick in the measuring cup; spoon it lightly for best results.
- Use a spring-loaded cookie scoop for easy and uniform shaping of the balls.
- You can increase the amount of shredded cheddar cheese to suit your taste preference.
- Chilling the balls before baking reduces spreading and helps them maintain shape.
