# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound bulk pork sausage, at room temperature
02 -
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
03 -
1 pound shredded cheddar cheese, cold
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Add the room-temperature sausage and Bisquick to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix until mostly combined.
03 -
Add half the shredded cheddar cheese and knead it in. Follow with the remaining cheese and mix until a cohesive mixture forms.
04 -
Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
05 -
Bake the sausage balls in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until browned on the bottom and cooked through.
06 -
For neater sausage balls, refrigerate them for 30 minutes after forming and before baking.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the sausage is at room temperature for easy mixing and the cheese is cold to prevent excessive melting during baking.
02 -
Using store-bought shredded cheese with anti-caking agents is recommended for this recipe as it prevents the cheese from melting out of the sausage balls too quickly.
03 -
For added flavor, try using spicy sausage or swapping cheddar for sharp cheddar or pepper Jack. Use only cheeses that melt well.
