I tweeked this recipe so that it tastes as good as it looks. I was excited to try this recipe bc it looks easy & yummy but it was too dry, so here is what i did:
12 oz of ground pork (archer farms,Target
1 1/2 c. bisquick
1 1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar
2 tbs good olive oil
1/2 c. shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp of thyme, 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
Mix all together well with hands, form med- size meatballs, press onto parchment paper on baking sheet
For topping: halve the cherry tomatos and then with pairing knife, make 6 slits around circumference of each and slightly flatten them, press into center of sausage balls, so they are about 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide and about 1/2 thick. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese, fresh ground pepper and panko bread crumbs for a little crunch. Bake until done, about 25 min at 350. Hope this helps.

utterly dissapointing. I saved this recipe on my TV for two weeks then finally got around to making it. They weren't inedible, but they were far from as delicious as it looked and Paula and Jamie made it sound. I love Paula Deen, but this is a big two thumbs down.

After reading the other reviews which were universally negative, I decided to make some changes. All the reviews said these were too biscuit-y and dry. I cut way back on the biscuit mix and added some olive oil to moisten the ingredients. I also added some fresh thyme to boost the flavor. I used hot Italian sausage for added spice and heat. The result was a tasty treat, but don't think I'd make it again.

I was super excited to make these for my next Sunday brunch. My son-in-law had brought me a bunch of cherry tomatoes from his garden so I thought I would go ahead and try this recipe in advance. I'm glad I did before I made it to serve to guests. I was not impressed. It was very dry and not forming balls well so I added some softened butter which gave it a very workable consistency. They came out looking just like the picture but I didn't like the way the tomato sat on top of the biscuit so the next batch I flattened with the bottom of a glass making them thinner and pressed the indent almost all the way to through. I did like the appearance of them a little better but the flavor is not impressive enough for me to want to keep this recipe. Sorry Paula~
I gave this recipe 2 stars because on the plus side, it was a fun recipe to make with my grand kids. They liked using their hands to mix the dough and roll the balls and they got to place the tomatoes on top!

These did not taste as good as they looked. They were very dry, so I added a little milk which of course make them more like biscuits with sausage in them. It's not worth working with the recipe to make it better. Save your sausage for something else.

These looked so good on tv, but not when I made them. Very disappointing. I found that I could only get just under 2 cups of Bisquick into just over a pound of sausage. The mixture was dry as the recipe said, but, it was even drier when cooked. It had a bisquity, crumbling consistancy with a hint of sausage; the mixture cooked and expanded, pushing the tomato out with several landing on the baking sheet. I did broil them, 1/3 topped with shredded cheese, 1/3 with parmesan and 1/3 as is...none very flavorful. The most successful, (if you can call it that, were the ones that I experimented with stuffing the whole thing in a mushroom cap. These had moisture and the additional mushroom flavor.

Bisquick is overpowering it was like a biscuit with a little sausage flavor I would cut the bisquick in half and do 1 1/2 cups and loose the tomato it really didnt add anything to the dish.
