Cheesy, savory sausage balls brushed with garlic butter, inspired by Cheddar Bay biscuits.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 40 to 45 sausage balls

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork sausage (regular or spicy)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Topping: 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Topping: 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Topping: 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Topping: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Mix the uncooked sausage, cheddar, Bisquick, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder and Old Bay.
  3. Add the milk and mix until the mixture holds together.
  4. Scoop into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on the sheets.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden and cooked through (160°F / 71°C).
  6. Mix the topping ingredients and brush over the sausage balls as soon as they come out of the oven.

Notes

Let the sausage sit out 20 to 30 minutes so it mixes easily. Freeze unbaked balls and bake from frozen, adding 3 to 5 minutes.
