Irresistible Pioneer Woman Bisquick Sausage Balls Recipe with cheddar and sausage. Golden, cheesy, and perfect for brunch, snacks, or holiday platters.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray
- Grater (if shredding your own cheese)
- Oven mitts
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage mild or spicy
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional
- 1/4 tsp black pepper optional
- 1/4 tsp paprika optional for color
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray. This ensures the sausage balls won’t stick and will bake evenly.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick, ground sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.
Step 3: Form the Balls
- Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly round; rustic shapes add to the homemade charm!
Step 4: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. The cheese will melt, creating a gooey center that contrasts beautifully with the crisp exterior.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sausage balls cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite breakfast spread, coffee, or as an appetizer at your next gathering.
