Ingredients
– 1 pound of breakfast sausage (I prefer sage sausage for a little kick)
– 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 cups of Bisquick mix
– 1/4 cup of milk
– 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional, but I love the flavor it adds)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper (for easy cleanup)
– Cookie scoop or teaspoon for shaping the balls
– Oven
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F, ensuring it’s nice and hot when those savory sausage balls go in. Then, in a large mixing bowl, I combine the breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and Bisquick mix. I like to get my hands in there—mixing with my fingers helps me combine everything evenly and get a little bit messy (which is half the fun!). Once mixed, I slowly add the milk to achieve the perfect consistency that binds everything together. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
