Sausage balls are an easy-to-make, poppable, snackable, loveable recipe.
Pork sausage, biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk meld together, then bake to a golden perfection.
- It’s a super easy recipe—3 ingredients and 3 steps.
- Cheesy bisquick sausage balls can be prepped and frozen, or baked then cooled and frozen for easy entertaining.
- Mix and match the cheeses and add zesty seasonings to create a new recipe every time.
Ingredients for Sausage Balls
Sausage: You can use either breakfast sausage or mild or hot Italian sausage. This recipe also works with turkey sausage.
Biscuit Mix: Bisquick is ready-made, but a store-brand baking mix works too. If you don’t have any, make a homemade biscuit mix recipe!
Cheese: I love using sharp cheddar cheese as it has lots of flavor. Shred your own or use pre-shredded to make it quick.
Variations
- Swap the cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend.
- Add diced jalapenos or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Use ground chicken or turkey instead.
How to Make Sausage Balls
- Combine biscuit mix, cheese, and ground sausage in a bowl (recipe below).
- Scoop it into balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown.
Prep Ahead & Storage
- Place uncooked sausage balls on a baking tray and cover with plastic wrap for up to 2 days or store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- If baking from frozen, add an additional 8 minutes to the cooking time.
- Leftover sausage balls can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
