Ingredients
- 1 pound Bulk pork sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pork sausage. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix them together until fully blended.
Step 3
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, Bisquick baking mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the sausage mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
Step 4
Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. You should end up with about 40 sausage balls.
Step 5
Place the sausage balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked sausage balls to a serving platter and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
Step 8
To make ahead: After rolling the sausage balls, place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen sausage balls to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, preheat the oven, place the frozen sausage balls on a baking sheet, and bake for 22-25 minutes at 375°F (190°C), or until golden brown and cooked through.
