Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound sausage (can use spicy)
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups bisquick
- 4 cups cheddar cheese
Liquid Ingredient:
- ¼ cup (2 fluid ounces) milk
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- Blend sausage, Bisquick, cheddar cheese, and milk in a spacious mixing bowl, using your hands to thoroughly incorporate all ingredients into a uniform mixture. Ensure no dry pockets remain and ingredients are fully integrated.
- Gently shape the meat mixture into compact, rounded orbs approximately one inch in diameter. Arrange these spheres on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them with slight separation to facilitate consistent heat circulation.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Monitor the sausage balls as they transform into a rich, golden-brown hue, indicating complete cooking and optimal flavor development.
- Extract the baking sheet from the oven and allow the sausage balls to rest momentarily, permitting their temperature to stabilize. Serve these savory morsels while still warm, perfect as a hearty appetizer or spontaneous breakfast companion.
Notes
- Prep these tasty bites quickly with minimal kitchen hassle.
- Mixing ingredients by hand ensures perfect texture and even distribution of flavors.
- Freeze unbaked sausage balls for future spontaneous snacking moments.
