These were very tasty. My husband loved them. I used a mixture of pepper jack and colby cheeses (3 cups, the meat of six (6 Italian sausage links, 1/3 cup milk and 1 cup Bisquick. Baked for 15 mins at 375. Made six (6 sausage balls for testing purposes, then froze the remaining sausage balls for another day. They will only be as salty as the sausage and cheese you use.

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.

The mixture was far to dry to form into balls. I added a little water, and they were fine after that. The cheese I used had been in the fridge for a while, so it may have lost some moisture.

I have made this recipe for years(not from Paula...but it's the same recipe. I would highly suggest using a spicy blend of sausage. I often use Bob Evan's spicy breakfast sausage. It really adds a nice kick of flavor. These are also great when served with roasted red pepper jelly.

Great recipe, each time I make it I change something to try a little different spin. The last time we made it (20 minutes ago we used pecorino romano (8 oz a cup and a half of buttermilk pancake flour and 2 lbs. of sausage. A mellon baller for 1 inch balls and after making each sausage ball roll in pancake flour, bake at 375 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes.
