Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork breakfast sausage
  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese I prefer sharp cheddar
  • 1 cup Bisquick baking mix

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • In a large bowl, mix together the sausage, shredded cheese, and baking mix. Make sure to combine the mixture gently, without packing it too tightly. 
  • Scoop the mixture into 1 tablespoon sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown. You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure they are fully cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the sausage balls from the oven and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess grease. Serve either warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • What kind of sausage to use: I like to use an herb seasoned pork breakfast sausage, but you can use a maple, spicy, or regular pork sausage just as long as it's ground.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese. I prefer to use sharp cheddar when making sausage balls. I like that nice pop of flavor! I also recommend shredding your own cheese from a large block instead of using pre-shredded cheese.
  • Bisquick Substitutions: The Biscuit baking mix helps hold the sausage balls together and adds a bit of substance, so you can't leave it out. But, you can substitute it! I've had readers and family/friends recommend using Stove Top Stuffing Mix or Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix in place of the Bisquick! Yum!
  • Storing: any leftover sausage balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
