Ingredients

  • 1 pound Breakfast Sausage 
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Pancake Mix Bisquick
  • 2 tsp Seasoning Salt
  • 3 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Crumble the breakfast sausage into a large bowl. (This makes it easier to work with as you mix the ingredients)
  • Add the shredded cheese, pancake mix, seasoning salt, and milk (milk helps bind the mixture) to the bowl and use your hands to incorporate all the ingredients completely.
  • Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out individual sausage balls. Roll them gently to round them out, then place them all onto your prepared baking sheet about 1/2 an inch apart.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Make in the air fryer:
Follow the instructions in this recipe but place in the air fryer basket and air fry at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
Make ahead of time:
You pre-shape the meat mixture into balls and set them on a baking sheet, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator the night before you plan to serve them. I suggest you pull them out and set them on the counter to warm up while your oven preheats, then cook according to the recipe instructions!
Substitutions:
If you are looking to change up your sausage balls a bit, try replacing the bisquick with Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix or add 1/2 cup softened cream cheese!
Reheat: Sausage Balls are delicious when enjoyed fresh but can be reheated for delicious leftovers!
STORE IN THE FRIDGE: Store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the fridge for up to 3 days. 
STORE IN THE FREEZER: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a Ziploc bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
