3 Ingredient Sausage Balls

Jump to Recipe
This simple, spicy, yummy recipe takes me right back to my childhood! If you've visited "My Story" on my website, then you already know that I was raised by parents who LOVED to entertain, especially during the Holidays. Being the youngest, I was always given the "chore" of making the Sausage Party Balls, since it only involved 3 ingredients that I could "mush" together with my hands, like Play Doh! Not to mention, my parents were thrilled to see me using my fine motor skills. So, I hope you and your family have lots of fun creating memories with this simple, delicious recipe this Holiday Season :).
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Course Appetizers, Hors d'Oeuvres
Servings 40 2" Sausage Balls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Ground Sausage I used "Regular," but use "Hot" if you want it spicier
  • 1 3/4-2 Cups Bisquick Baking Mix If too dry for your taste, use 1 3/4 cups
  • 1 1/4-1/2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded; if you like cheese, use 1 1/2 cups

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.
  • Gather the Ingredients.
  • In a Large mixing bowl, combine the Ground Sausage, Bisquick and cheese. I begin using 2 sturdy forks to break up the sausage.
  • Using your hands, "mush" the ingredients together until well blended..like kneading bread dough or Play Doh ;).
  • Once the ingredients are well blended, pinch off small portions with your fingers and roll into 1-2" balls (I usually make them 2"). Place each ball onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Serve warm with or without Ranch Dressing.
  • Start popping them into your mouth and Enjoy!

Notes

I usually serve these with Homemade Ranch Dressing, since they tend to be a wee bit dry (I use 2 cups Bisquick, so they are a little on the dry side, but less greasy...the Ranch Dressing helps moisten them up).
