Equipment
- oven
- baking sheet
- mixing bowl
- cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 lb hot pork sausage not cooked
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix can substitute 1 cup all purpose flour + 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, foil, or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, combine Bisquick, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and raw breakfast sausage. Using clean hands, knead until fully combined and the mixture looks like thick cookie dough.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place the sausage balls ½-1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the outsides are golden brown and the centers are cooked through (160°F internal temperature). Cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Don't overbake. Room temp cream cheese works best. Roll and refrigerate up to 48 hours before baking, or freeze unbaked balls and add 5-10 minutes to the bake time. Make sure to shred your own cheese for the best melt and flavor.
