The Wannabe Chef: Sausage Balls

Sausage balls

Sausage balls have been my family’s favorite appetizer for years. We mostly break them out for the holidays, but these babies are perfect for tailgating and the Super Bowl party I just attended.

The classic ingredients are sausage, sharp cheddar cheese and Bisquick. But I added a twist this time, throwing in some delicious cream cheese. Yum! The smell coming from my oven as the sausage balls cooked was amazing. My almost 2-year-old was begging for one before I could even let them cool down.

Sausage Balls

  • 1 lb. mild or hot sausage
  • 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups Bisquick

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine sausage and cheeses first. Add the Bisquick in small batches (wet your hands a little if the mixture is not combining well).

Roll mixture into balls and place on a sheet tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
