Ingredients

For the Sausage Balls

  • 1 lb sausage (your choice of spicy or mild)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups Bisquick mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the sausage, cream cheese, Bisquick, cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form the Balls

Using your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

These sausage balls are best served warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions

When it comes to serving these Cream Cheese Bisquick Sausage Balls, the options are endless. A classic pairing is a tangy dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or barbecue sauce, which complements the savory flavors beautifully. You can also opt for a creamy ranch dressing for a cool contrast.

For a more elevated presentation, consider serving them on a platter garnished with fresh herbs or alongside a colorful vegetable tray. This not only adds visual appeal but also provides a refreshing crunch to balance the richness of the sausage balls.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (though they might not last long!), storing these sausage balls is simple. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.

For longer storage, consider freezing the sausage balls before baking. Simply prepare the mixture and form the balls, then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and store for up to three months. When you're ready to bake, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time, and you’ll have a fresh batch ready to go!
