This simple recipe for cream cheese sausage balls only has 4 ingredients! Mix Bisquick, cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and breakfast sausage for an easy breakfast favorite.
1cupBisquick baking mixcan substitute 1 cup all purpose flour + 1 teaspoon baking powder
8ozsharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Add Bisquick, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and breakfast sausage to a large bowl. Using your hands, knead this mixture into a dough with a cookie dough consistency. (It will be kind of sticky.)
Using your hands, roll pieces of dough into 1-inch balls (a melon baller or cookie scoop is very helpful for measuring these out).
Place sausage balls ½-1" apart on a half-sheet (13x18") rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat, aluminum foil, or parchment paper. (This recipe fits perfectly on this size baking sheet.)
Bake in a 375-degree oven for 35-40 minutes, until the outside of the sausage balls start to brown and the inside is cooked through.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
These sausage balls can be frozen. Bake according to directions and freeze in an airtight container. When ready to serve, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
This recipe is great for a holiday breakfast - just prep the night before and pop in the oven when ready to serve! I like to cover my baking sheet full of sausage balls with a paper towel to prevent the sausage balls from drying out.
Need to keep your sausage balls warm? Place them in a Crockpot set to warming mode, stirring them occasionally.
You can serve your sausage balls warm, cool, or even at room temperature - they're yummy at any temp!
