Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Breakfast sausage (Jimmy Dean)
  • 1 1/2 cups Bisquick (Baking mix)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the sausage balls from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, Bisquick baking mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands or an electric mixer to mix. The mixture will initially be dry.
  3. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix until the ingredients fully combine and form a cohesive dough-like mixture.
  4. Form Balls: Scoop the mixture using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, then roll each portion into a ball shape. Arrange the balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 17 minutes or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy as a tasty snack or appetizer.
