Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 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 baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the bulk pork sausage, softened cream cheese, Bisquick baking mix, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small space between each one.
- 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.
Notes
- For a make-ahead option, you can assemble the balls and freeze them unbaked on a tray. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute half of the cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack cheese.
- These sausage balls reheat well in an oven or air fryer.
