Ingredients
Meat and Dairy
- 1 pound ground pork sausage, at room temperature
- 16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup whole milk
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, Bisquick baking mix, freshly grated sharp cheddar, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and whole milk. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. If it feels dry, continue mixing until it comes together well.
- Form the Balls: With wet hands to prevent sticking, shape the dough into about 35 balls, each approximately 1½ tablespoons in size. Arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the sausage balls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer for parties, holidays, or game day gatherings.
Notes
- If you prefer gluten-free, use a gluten-free Bisquick mix; note that the mixture may be less sticky and slightly harder to shape.
- For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
- These sausage balls can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best texture and melt quality.
- Wear gloves or keep your hands wet when shaping to prevent sticking and make rolling easier.
