Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the sausage, cheddar cheese, baking mix, and milk. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to work everything together until it forms a thick, uniform mixture.
3. Shape the Balls
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 to 1 ½ inches in diameter. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
4. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve
Enjoy them warm, either plain or with a dip like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy sriracha mayo.
Tips for Perfect Sausage Balls
-
Room temperature sausage: Makes mixing much easier.
-
Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese is convenient, but freshly shredded melts better.
-
Make ahead: You can roll the sausage balls and refrigerate them overnight before baking, or freeze unbaked balls for up to 3 months.
-
Add flavor: Stir in chopped jalapeños, green onions, or garlic powder for extra punch.
