Ingredient Breakdown
What You’ll Need:
2 Cups Bisquick Pancake Mix
1 Pound Ground Pork
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Water (as needed)
A Couple Pinches of Salt and Pepper
Substitutions Galore!
- Milk or Cream: Use a splash of milk instead of water for a richer flavor.
- Seasonings: Don’t hold back! Garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning could really kick things up a notch.
- Cheese: Swiss? Gouda? You name it! Get creative!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Here’s how to make the best Bisquick Sausage Balls ever:
Preheat Your Oven : Get those vibes going by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). It’s important down the line for achieving that perfect golden-brown crust!
Mix the Ingredients : In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, ground pork, and shredded cheddar cheese. Oh, and don’t forget that couple pinches of salt and pepper: Seasoning is key here! Mix well until all the ingredients are blended. It should be a soft, cohesive mixture. If it’s feeling a bit dry, add a small amount of water just until it can all hold together nicely.
Form the Balls : Now, the fun part! Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball works great. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I usually fit about 24 balls on a standard sheet.
Bake! Pop that tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You want them to be golden brown and cooked through. The smell? Just imagine it wafting through your kitchen, so comforting.
Serve Warm : Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a minute (or just enough for your fingers to handle) and then dig in! These are best served warm, but really… who could resist right out of the oven?
