Make the best cream cheese sausage balls that stay moist and flavorful. This easy recipe uses Bisquick for a dependable, crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for game day or holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and optional scallions. Mix these ingredients thoroughly with your hands until they are fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
  3. Measure the Bisquick baking mix and add it to the sausage mixture. Gently mix until the dough just comes together.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between them.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the pan before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can prepare the dough ahead of time. Roll the balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze them until solid. Transfer the frozen balls to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 5 to 7 minutes to the baking time.
  • For a spicier bite, use hot breakfast sausage or add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the mix.
  • These sausage balls stay moist for hours, making them ideal for potlucks and tailgates.
