Bisquick Sausage Balls

KaDo's Note:

Can substitute turkey sausage or reduced fat cheese for a healthier version. Couldn't be easier!

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8-10

Yield: 45.0 balls

• 1 lb sausage (hot or mild)
• 3 cups Bisquick
• 1 cup water
• 1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Directions:

1. Brown sausage in a frying pan, crumbling it as it cooks. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, water, and cheese. Stir, then mix in cooled sausage.
3. Wet your hands (so the meat won't stick) and roll into small balls. Bake on cookie sheets at 325 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

These little bites were simple and delicious. Rather than spend the time rolling the balls, I spooned the dough into mini-muffin pans, which worked out perfectly. I used Jimmy Dean Maple Sausage in mine, which gave them a little different, but nice flavor. And they were good the next morning for breakfast with a quick warm-up in the microwave.

These were awesome! I sauteed mushrooms and added those to the dough as well. I also used 2 kinds of cheese -- cheddar and spicy pepper jack -- but I used less than 1 pound. I mixed my Bisquick with milk instead of water. And I made bigger balls -- more like biscuit sized. They were a big hit and everyone loved them. Great recipe.
