Ingredients

1 pound ground sausage hot or mild; uncooked
8 ounce package cream cheese softened
1 ¼ cup Bisquick
1 cup shredded cheese cheddar

Instructions

Preheat and Prep the Pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
Combine and Mix. In a large bowl, mix the ground sausage, softened cream cheese, Bisquick, and shredded cheddar cheese until thoroughly combined.
Roll the balls. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve. Serve the Bisquick sausage balls warm or at room temperature.
Flash Freeze. You can also flash-freeze the sausage balls for a make-ahead option. Roll them into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze for about an hour. Once frozen, place the balls in a zip-top bag and freeze until ready to bake.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

Soften the cream cheese before mixing the ingredients.
Use your hands to mix everything. A spoon may work for you, but my hands blend everything much better.
Don't overbake.
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to keep the cheesy sausage balls from sticking.

Storage and Reheating

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Freeze baked or unbaked sausage balls for up to 2 months.

Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F or microwave until heated through. If baking from frozen, add a few extra minutes.
