Make-Ahead Bisquick Sausage Ball Appetizers

"These are so delicious, I have even made this with pork breakfast sausage meat, do not precook the sausage meat for this as the meat will cook when baked --- make a double batch of these and freeze them, they won't last long! You can also add in a couple teaspoons minced yellow onions or a green onion very finely chopped if desired --- *note* this recipe was developed using original Bisquick baking mix, I cannot promise the same results using a clone mix for this."

  1. Wonderful appetizer. I have found that I can use my standing Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook to mix this up in a hurry.
     
  2. Holy Cow! Holy Cow! KC you've done it yet again! I served this New Years Eve and wow was it a hit. Since I prefer breakfast sausage that was what I used. The only thing I didn't have on hand was the rosemary. Yes this recipe makes a lot of balls but make a double recipe if there are more than 10 people. They really will disappear quickly. I served this with Horseradish Sauce #39331 and Teriyaki Sauce #55859.
     
  3. Funny story: I had a Christmas open house and had really lovely and time consuming food. Not many raved about the smoked salmon cheesecake or the red velvet cake but EVERYONE raved about these silly little meatballs. Good thing I made a double batch and kept cooking them all night! I served them with a honey mustard sauce and kept them warm in a chafing dish. People love simple food.... simply done...Thanks for the recipe.
     
  4. Well it must be me, but these were too doughy for my liking. The only thing I did, was to halve the recipe, but followed ingredients and halved amounts exactly. IF I were to make these again, and that's a big "if", I would add more Italian sausage than what is called for. I used hot Italian sausage and even added about a tsp.of Tabasco sauce. If it weren't for the heat,well you get the idea. FYI, for anyone who may have a friend who doesn't own a computer, this recipe is a combination of two "sausage cheese ball" recipes that can be found in the Bisquick paperback cookbook. I don't know if it's still in print, because I've had mine for years.
     
  5. Made these last night for a get together. I forgot to add the half and half but they turned out perfect anyway and everyone raved about them. I also used breakfast sausage. Excellent and a very easy recipe to follow and apparently somewhat fool-proof.

Tweaks

  1. I love the Havarti Sausage Aebleskivers from Old European. I used ground breakfast sausage, 2 C shredded havarti & 2 C shredded colby jack. I omitted the Rosemary, doubled the parsley, added 1 t garlic powder I used milk & they were fabulous but next time I'll try Half & Half. We used some Bisquick mix to coat our hands as we were rolling the balls. We served them with raspberry preserves & fluffy scrambled eggs. They were phenomenal. Thank you for this recipe!
     
  2. garlic powder for fresh, dry parsley for fresh
