Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and light coat with oil. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add the 2 kinds of pork sausage, cheddar cheese, Bisquick, onion, and parsley. Mix to combine thoroughly.
  3. Form balls with a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature of the sausage and cheese balls is about 160 degrees F on a digital thermometer.
  5. Remove the meatballs from the oven and place on a platter. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce, carrot and celery sticks, and cucumber slices.

Notes

  • Line the baking sheet with foil and grease with oil for easy clean up.
  • Use a combination of regular and hot or spicy pork sausage the best flavored sausage balls.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese is my first choice for the tastiest sausage balls. But any semi hard cheese can be substituted in the recipe. Try Gouda, pepper jack, Havarti, colby jack or even mild cheddar.
  • To make rolling the sausage cheese balls an easy task, wet your hands with cold water.
  • Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature of the sausage balls. 160 degrees F is the temp you want for perfectly cooked and juicy sausage and cheddar balls.
