Bisquick (how long does bisquick last?) sausage balls, made with ground sausage and cheese (lots of it!), is a retro party appetizer and holiday favorite. But they don't have to be restricted to game nights and thanksgiving. These little bites of delight, in fact, make for perfect summertime snacks. They're quick and easy to make (even in large quantities), they please a crowd, and they're convenient to pack and serve, which makes them ideal for picnics and al fresco lunches.
Start your day right with our flavorful breakfast sausage recipe - a Texas twist on a classic morning staple.
Classic Bisquick sausage balls are made with only three ingredients - sausage, cheese, and Bisquick. But they're quite adaptable. You can play around with the base recipe and add any dried herbs or spices of your choice. And though these sausage balls are made with only a handful of ingredients, they pack a punch, when it comes to flavor. Depending on the sausage you use and herbs you add, they can be spicy, meaty, cheesy, herby, sweet - or even, all in one. Texture-wise, these sausage balls have a fluffy almost muffin-like texture. If meatballs and cheese biscuits had a baby, then the resultant product would be Bisquick sausage balls.

The texture and flavor of sausage balls chiefly depend on the sausage and cheese you use. Personally, I live using Italian sausages, as they give a smoky, fennel-ly taste to the meatballs. For cheese, you can use cheddar, cream cheese (how long does cream cheese last?), parmesan, mozzarella, or any cheese with high moisture content, to help bind the sausage mix together. A word of caution; avoid using pre-grated cheeses as they lack moisture and will result in a dry, flaky sausage mix.

Making Bisquick Sausage Balls
Make the Sausage Ball Mix
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
In a large mixing bowl, add minced sausage, cheese, and spring onions. Mix well, until you get a wet, coherent mixture. Then add in Bisquick and mix again, just until well combined. This two-step mixing process will ensure that the gluten in Bisquick isn't overworked.
I highly recommend purchasing a mixing bowl online for a convenient shopping experience!
