- Sausage balls are an ideal appetizer to enjoy with your family while everyone is opening presents at Christmas, or really any time for any gathering. You can also enjoy these for breakfast, plus they're great to freeze and re-heat.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. country sausage
2 cups Bisquick (or your preferred biscuit mix)
1 lb. shredded cheddar (I use half mild, half sharp)
Mix ingredients together and bake in 350º oven for about 20-25 minutes.
Did you know you can get 6-lb boxes of Bisquick at Amazon!? amzn.to/3djVtEh

I mention my homemade biscuit recipe in this video.

A good updated version says to sift your Bisquick before measuring and you will have much lighter and fluffier sausage balls. You can put this in your stand mixer and gently mix it with the flat cookie dough blade. The rest of the instructions are the same. Love your channel. You have such a gentle soft voice that is comforting.
That’s a great tip! I’ll have to try that next time I make these. Thank you so much!
As a teenager & beyond my mom made these about 5 or 6 times a year. Mom passed away 12 years ago today. Getting ready to put first tray in the oven.......thanks for helping to remember
Aww! I'm so glad these are a good memory for you! Enjoy!
Thank you! I followed your recipe exactly and these came out perfectly delicious! I love the simplicity , and every one in my family can dip them in Mustard or Maple Syrup or Applesauce or Queso dip or anything YUM
These Sausage Balls are great for a crowd! Just like you said, everybody can enjoy them the way they like them best. I recently posted an updated version (actually an older recipe that my aunt gave me over 20 years ago that I recently found) that's slightly different and I think I may like it even better than this recipe!
Recipe for sausage cheese balls my family has been making for 30+ years...
1lb HOT Jimmy Dean sausage.. just adds a little extra flavor & kick, but isn't too spicy.
8oz block Cracker Barrel or Cabot Vermont sharp white cheddar.. best cheese for this recipe, period!
1 cup bisquick mix.. I find if you use more than 1 cup of bisquick in this recipe the balls turn out dry and tasteless.
Preheat oven to 375. Cut up and microwave cheese until melted (let cool a few minutes) add sausage & bisquick MIX WELL. Form into small balls, place on sheet pan and bake about 8 minutes.. then using a spoon flip all the balls over and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Remove, cool, ENJOY!
It's great we all have recipes that our families love for this! There have been several different comments with different spins on this recipe. I think that's awesome! We've never been big fans of sharp cheddar in our family so while I use some sharp cheddar, I only use it for about half of the cheese. Sometimes I don't use it at all. We don't use the spicy sausage because we like to make this friendly for the littlest members of our family and they don't like spicy stuff. And we like to use 2 cups of Bisquick because we like them to not be so dense! Everyone has their own favorite ways of eating things. Enjoy these however you like to make them! Thanks for watching. 👩🏻🍳
@@OldTimeKnowledge Hi, the Jimmy Dean hot sausage is actually pretty mild (even for the littlest members of the family.) I know because my family's spice threshold is pretty darn low. Spicy with a capital S is Tennessee Pride hot sausage! I tried this recipe with it one time.. and won't be making that mistake again lol! But if you want no spice at all Jimmy Dean regular is definitely the way to go. I have also made these with Jimmy Dean Sage sausage and it was pretty tasty. I'm not a big lover of standard sharp cheddar's myself, but Vermont white cheddar is really smooth and creamy it truly lends itself to this recipe. I love all the variations on this recipe and thought I would share mine. Thanks for commenting!
@@stacylynn2457 If you say the white cheddar isn't too sharp, I will certainly keep an eye out and try that one! I actually LOVE spicy food, but not everyone in my family does. We have been using the Jimmy Dean mild or local country sausage for as long as I can remember. I'm 45 and I even remember the women in my family making this when I was a little girl. You know, I think this recipe must've appeared in a magazine or something back in those days because it seemed like for a while there everyone was making these! I'm glad you shared your version! I've been surprised by the folks who said they like to serve these with a dip. I never thought of that. I'll bet it's tasty though! Also, adding in green onions. I don't think I'll do that because (as I'm sure you can relate), we can get attached to doing things a certain way with our recipes, but it's certainly a worthwhile idea! 😁 You know one time I made these and forgot to add the bisquick altogether. I kept wondering why they were so greasy when I took the pan out of the oven, then I realized what I had done. I was so disappointed! 😂
I use my stand mixer with the dough hook attachment on lowest gear. I used to use my hands and this is a lifesaver.
I love this idea! I'll have to try it! Thank you for the tip!
I use my Kitchenaid stand mixer too; I also scoop the balls out using a small cookie scooper. It works great & so much easier!
Easy as can be. I added some diced up green onions (scallions) to my mix. No salt needed at all. I liked that the bottoms were a bit crispy after 25 minutes at 325. Make your favorite dip for these. I suggest using a spicy sausage. I will experiment with other additions. Thanks.
Yep, I've never had to add salt to these. The sausage, the cheese, and the Bisquick are all salty enough. 👌 I've never thought of adding scallions to them, but that's a clever idea. What kind of dip do you enjoy with these?
@@OldTimeKnowledge I tried a cilantro Aioli only because I had half a bunch sitting in the fridge. It was okay, however I want to try a chipotle aioli next. And next time I will also add at least 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper to the sausage balls. I may add some grated parmesan to them too. The variations are endless. Leftover balls in the toaster oven are great. Tweak these babies and make them your own.
Tried this recipe today-simple and delicious. Started with a large mixing bowl but switched to a wide pot which made mixing easier. Great appetizer but you can make a meal out of them.
Hiya Rusty! I’m glad you enjoyed them, and that’s a great tip! 👍
I do them like this but I add cream cheese and they’re delicious!
Hmm... I've never thought of that, but I love cream cheese so I might have to try that! Thanks for the suggestion!
I am so glad that I found your videos today! :-) Love this recipe, will be making it tomorrow, thanks you for sharing your great recipes with us.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes! 🙂 Let me know how these turn out! 👩🏻🍳
@@OldTimeKnowledge They turned out great! So yummy :-) Thank you..
@@corinasaebels9076 Oh good! 👏 👏 👏 I’m so happy to hear it! I knew they would. 😃
We’ve made these twice since your video posted 🤪😋❤️ so yummmmyyyyy
Sausage balls are where it’s at! 😂
I love your video, I appreciate how you explain everything, and keep it short and clear, do you serve them with a dip? I’ve never eaten them, seen them or made them before, I’m looking forward to making them
I'm so glad you enjoy the video! I don't personally eat these with dip, but another commenter said he made dip for his and it was delicious! I'm curious now and will have to try sometime soon.
I like to use maple sausage. :-)
I never would have thought of that! There are so many great sausage flavors to choose from for these. 👩🏻🍳
These look so good! Thank you for sharing this ❤️
I posted a newer version a couple of weeks ago so you might want to check that one out because I think it’s even better than this one!

Thank you they’re beautiful
Thank you! And thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
I add rinsed diced chiles in mine; serve with ranch dressing.
Ohhhh!! I like that idea! I'll have to try that sometime! Thank you for sharing it!
Add some bacon crispy fried and some green onions to the uncooked dough... EPIC.. thx for the video
Also let the sausage sit till room temperature and mixing becomes so much easier
Another fellow also commented about putting green onions, but I've never thought about also adding the bacon. Someone else mentioned using a dipping sauce with these. All interesting ideas! It shows what a versatile appetizer this is! :) Have a happy New Year!
Great and easy recipe..going to make these for Christmas this year.
Yes! This is definitely a favorite in our family at Christmas. I hope you enjoy them! 🎄
Looks so good. Iam gona try it. Thankyou
You are most welcome! I hope you enjoy them. Let me know! 👩🏻🍳
Hello I am watching you from Australia what is Bisquick is it a flour.
Great question! I know what Bisquick is, but I wasn't sure how to explain it so I looked it up on Wikipedia! This is what it says: "Bisquick is a pre-mixed baking mix ... consisting of flour, shortening, salt, sugar and baking powder (a leavening agent)." Bisquick can be used for making all kinds of quick bread products, from biscuits to pancakes to casseroles to foods like these sausage balls. If you have any sort of quick flour-based baking mix that seems like it would have similar ingredients, you might be able to try that as a substitute. Thanks for watching!
I made these just last night and unfortunately, I chose a Betty Crocker recipe to follow. It called for 3 cups od bisquick instead of 2. It came out more like little muffins and was way too bread like. I wish I had seen this video first.
I've had them that way, I think... You're right. Too much bisquick and it's just not the same thing! These sausage balls are exactly like the women in my family have made them since I was a little girl back in the 80s so I'm glad to have the recipe. If you make my recipe, let me know if that's more what you're expecting. Have a Happy New Year!

Any dip recipe for the sausage balls?
We don’t typically make sauce for these, but I’ve heard people mention all different kinds of things. Some have suggested a mustard sauce, others have suggested a ranch type sauce, some have suggested a sweet-and-sour sauce. It’s just down to what kind of flavors you might like to mix with sausage. 😃
About how long did it take to get it thoroughly mixed together?
I think probably about five minutes. If you are having a really hard time mixing these ingredients together, you can add just maybe a tablespoon of water and that will likely help moisten things enough that you can work it all together.
What do you serve it with? As far as dipping sauce?
In our family, we've never served these with a dipping sauce. They're just served as they are. I think you'll find some other comments below the video, though, where people talk about the different dipping sauces they like to use.
In answer to what kind of dipping sauce;how about a hot mustard? Or stoned ground?
Those look so good!!
Thank you! They are good! I hope you'll make these and let me know what you think! 😃
hey sweety.......i need sausage and gravy...to go with your biscruit
Alrighty! I'll make plans to do a video about that soon! It's easy! 🙂
Hi Terry! I wanted to let you know I published a video today about making Sausage Gravy. You can see it here. czcams.com/video/5-p1T_bRMYk/video.html
I wish you would have opened one up so we could see what they looked like.
I'm planning to make some either later today or tomorrow. I'll upload a picture to my website and then paste a link for you below, so be on the lookout. 🙂
