How to Make Bisquick Sausage Balls
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together using hands or a spoon. I find it easiest to use my hands.
Step 2: Roll into 1-inch balls and place on greased, rimmed baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until brown. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm with sauce for dipping.
Dipping Sauce Ideas
- Barbecue Sauce: Sweet and smoky barbecue sauce adds depth of flavor and a hint of spice to the sausage cheese balls.
- Chili Sauce: The spicy heat of the chili sauce adds a sweet and zesty flavor kick.
- Ranch Dressing: Creamy ranch dressing adds a cool and herby contrast to the richness of the sausage and cheese.
- Honey Mustard: The sweet and tangy combination of honey mustard provides a delightful contrast to the savory sausage balls.
- Sriracha Mayo: For those who enjoy a bit of heat, mixing sriracha sauce with mayonnaise creates a spicy and creamy dip that pairs well with the sausage balls.
Recipe Tips!
- Don’t overmix: Mix the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough sausage balls.
- Adjust seasoning: Feel free to add herbs or spices to the mixture for extra flavor, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop or spoon can help ensure evenly sized sausage balls for even baking.
- Bake on parchment paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Serve with dipping sauce: Consider serving your Bisquick Sausage Balls with a dipping sauce like BBQ or chili sauce for added flavor.
- Properly store leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Adjust seasoning: Feel free to add herbs or spices to the mixture for extra flavor, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
Shape into balls: A cookie scoop or spoon can help ensure evenly sized sausage balls for even baking. (That said, I usually use my hands and eyeball it.) But, avoid rolling too much; the less the mixture is worked, the more tender the sausage cheese balls will be.
