Servings: 60 sausage balls
Ingredients
- 1 pound hot pork sausage ground
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups all purpose baking mix Bisquick
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage and cream cheese.
- Add the baking mix and the cheese. Mix to combine thoroughly.
- Scoop into 1 inch balls. (I like to use an ice cream scoop to keep them all the same size.)
- Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove to a cooling rack or paper towel lined plate. Cool slightly.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Cube the cream cheese and let it come to room temperature so it incorporates better.
- Switch up the hot sausage for a regular sausage, mild sausage, or maple flavor.
- Grate your own cheese for better melting.
- No baking mix? Try all purpose flour mixed with baking powder and shortening.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer is best but you can use your hands. You can also use a food processor.
- Use a small cookie scoop for consistent sizes when scooping.
- Chill before baking to keep the balls from spreading a coming out flat.
- If they seem dense you can always add a teaspoon of baking powder to the mix
- Depending on the size of the sausage cheese balls and your oven, you may need to increase the cooking time to 20-25 minutes.
