Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Pork (mild or hot sausage)
  • 2 cups Bisquick Baking Mix
  • 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup Milk (as needed to form dough)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Time: 5 min
  2. 2.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, Bisquick baking mix, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 1/3 cup of milk. Using your hands, mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and a sticky, wet dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add the remaining milk a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

    Time: 7 min
  3. 3.

    Roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls. You can use a large cookie scoop for consistent sizing. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are about 1/2 inch apart.

    Time: 8 min
  4. 4.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 160°F (71°C).

    Time: 25 min
  5. 5.

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

    Time: 5 min
