Recipe Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe for sausage balls bisquick:

- Milk

INGREDIENT NOTES:

How to make this Bisquick Sausage Balls Recipe step-by-step:
*Check out the quick visual guides below. For full instructions and ingredients, see the printable recipe card at the end.
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine sausage, Bisquick mix, cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder.
Step 3: Mix until well combined. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Pro Tip:
Use your clean hands to mix everything together! It’s messy but it’s the best way to get everything evenly combined. Keep a bowl of water nearby to wet your hands between rolling balls so the mixture doesn’t stick as much.

FAQs about these Sausage Balls with Bisquick:
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! Roll the balls and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. You can also freeze them unbaked and bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
Why are my sausage balls dry? Make sure you’re not over baking them, and don’t skip the milk, it keeps them moist. Also, using regular sausage instead of lean helps with moisture.
Can I make these bigger or smaller? Sure! Just adjust the baking time. Smaller balls will cook faster (15-18 minutes) and larger ones will take longer (25-30 minutes)
What Can I Serve with Bisquick recipes for sausage balls?
These are awesome on their own as an appetizer, but you can also serve them with ranch dressing, honey mustard, ketchup, or marinara sauce for dipping.
