Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground sausage mild, hot, or pork
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix for a gluten-free swap, use a certified gluten-free baking mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp or mild
  • 1/2 cup milk can use buttermilk or a milk alternative
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, Bisquick, shredded cheddar, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Baking
  1. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  2. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) if using pork sausage.
  3. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

This recipe is forgiving. If the mixture feels too wet, add more Bisquick; if too dry, splash in a tablespoon of milk. Tips for storage: refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Always reheat thoroughly.
