Ingredients

  • 1 (1-pound) package ground sausage
  • 3 cups baking mix (recommended: Bisquick)
  • 4 cups grated sharp Cheddar
  • 1/8 tablespoon pepper

Dip:

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.  Combine all ingredients in a large glass bowl. Mix well with your fingers. The mixture will be very crumbly. Form into 1 inch balls, squeezing the mixture so it holds together, then rolling it between the palms of your hands to form balls.  Place the balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. To prevent sticking, move the balls with a spatula halfway through cooking. To make the dip, combine the mayonnaise and mustard. Serve with sausage balls.

    One star because at least one is required. Some of the worst food I've ever eaten! Salty, crumbly, dry. A waste of good cheese and sausage. The dog likes them as treats.

    This basic recipe works best for sausage balls. However, over the years I have added one thing that makes them better (in my opinion. A little milk. It makes them moist without the addition of more cheese or sausage. Everyone seems to have their own ratio that works for them. Mine is 3 cups bisquick, 3 cups shredded cheddar (or monterey jack, 1 pound pork (or turkey sausage and 1/3 cup of milk. I mix by hand. Its a bit messy, but better incorporated. They are always a hit.

    This recipe is wonderful, I've tried quite a few of the Sausage ball recipes on the Internet and this one is perfect. The other recipes all seem to add things to it when in reality Sausage, cheese and Bisquick are really all that's needed to make this recipe delectable. That being said, the only change I made was the order I mixed the ingredients and the method I used.
    I mixed the sausage and cheese together and folded in the Bisquick in little by little until I couldn't incorporate any more into the mixture. Then formed the balls and used a cookie rack so the grease could drain while they were cooking. I also found that this recipe works better if you mix by hand instead of using a mixer, it's a little messier to do it this way but the results are so much better that it's worth it.
    I hope everyone enjoys these Sausage balls half as much as me and my family have.
