Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
1 ½ cups Bisquick mix
¼ cup milk
8 ounces cheddar cheese

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage and Bisquick mix. Stir to combine. I usually do this with my hands as it’s much easier than trying to use a spoon.
Once most of the baking mix has been incorporated, stir in the milk.
Then stir in the shredded cheese.
Form balls, aiming to keep them all around the same size so they will cook evenly. Place on a baking sheet (or two, as needed) lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes. If you want to be extra sure they are done, you can use a meat thermometer to make sure they have reached 160°F.

Notes

This recipe makes around 32 sausage balls.

Air fry at 350°F for 12-15 minutes instead of baking in the oven. You can use parchment paper in an air fryer but I don’t find this necessary.

I almost always use sharp cheddar for this recipe, but if you want to swap this for other kinds like pepper jack cheese or colby cheese you can. I would avoid cheese with a much higher moisture content, like fresh mozzarella.

You can use water instead of milk if you need.
