Anyway, here's what you'll need to make 'em:

Oh, and for another version of sausage balls, you can use some of 'em to make these cream cheese sausage balls.

Ingredient Substitutions And Suggestions

While I think this Bisquick sausage balls recipe turns out perfectly when it's made with the exact ingredients listed above, there are definitely some substitutions you can make to it to suit your preferences - and maybe even save you a trip to the store.

For instance, when it comes to the sausage, I used ground pork sausage to make these sausage balls, but really any sausage will do. Turkey sausage, breakfast sausage, and even veggie sausage will work for this recipe. Also, if you have sausage links, you can easily just turn them into ground sausage by chopping them up.

As for the cheese, I like to use shredded cheddar cheese to make these sausage cheese balls. I just think that it tastes best. With that said though, you can really use any kind of shredded cheese that you want to make 'em!

Lastly, for some optional add-ons, I always like to serve a dipping sauce with my Bisquick sausage balls. My favorite dipping sauces to serve them with are this Chick-Fil-A sauce, this big mac sauce, or this Alabama white sauce. They're just so tasty dipped in one of those sauces, but they're just as delicious with some ketchup or served alone.

How To Make Bisquick Sausage Balls

So, now it's time for the fun part, making these Bisquick sausage balls!

As I mentioned earlier, this sausage ball recipe is super simple. You basically just combine all of the ingredients, scoop them onto your baking sheet, and bake them till they're golden brown.

Anyway, let's stop wasting time and get cooking!

Step 1: Prep Work

First, you'll want to preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Next, you can take out a large bowl and add the Bisquick baking mix (or gluten free Bisquick mix), ground pork sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, milk of your choice, and Italian seasonings to it.

Then, you can give all of these ingredients a good mix with a rubber spatula, wooden spoon, or your hands until the ingredients fully combine into the ground sausage. Also, if the ingredients aren't coming together, don't be afraid to get in there with your hands!

Step 2: Form The Sausage Balls

Ok, now that the sausage mixture is good to go, you can use a cookie scoop to scoop out two tablespoon-sized sausage balls. Then, use your hands to shape the mixture into a ball. You'll want to squeeze each sausage ball lightly, so they hold its shape. 

After you form each sausage ball, place it on the prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches apart from one another.

Step 3: Bake The Sausage Balls

Now, once you've formed all of your sausage balls, you can put the baking sheet in the oven and bake them for about 20-25 minutes - or until they're crispy and golden brown. Just keep in mind that you may have to bake them in batches depending on the size of your baking sheet.

Finally, to finish 'em up, you can sprinkle them with fresh parsley and serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

How To Store Bisquick Sausage Balls

This recipe for Bisquick sausage balls will make about 28 balls - depending on the size you make them. However, if you're making these for a get together - and you need to make more - you can easily just double - or triple - the recipe. You'll just have to bake the sausage balls in batches if your baking sheet is not big enough to fit all of them.

Then, if you have any leftovers, you can store the Bisquick sausage balls in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Alternatively, if you want to store them for even longer, you can freeze sausage balls in an airtight container - or freezer-safe bag - with the extra air squeezed out in the freezer for about 1-2 months.

How To Reheat Bisquick Sausage Balls

Once you're ready to eat these delicious Bisquick sausage balls again you can easily reheat them.

So, to best warm up your sausage balls, I recommend reheating them in the oven. Simply put them on a baking sheet and cook them at 300°F for about 10-12 minutes or until they're fully reheated.

Alternatively, if you have an air fryer, you can place your leftover sausage balls in your air fryer basket and then reheat them at 325°F for about 3-4 minutes - or until they reach your desired temperature.

By the way, if you're starting from frozen sausage balls, either defrost them in the fridge overnight or just add more time to one of the reheating methods I just mentioned.

Wrapping It Up

Well, that's how to make Bisquick sausage balls from scratch!

This sausage ball recipe is honestly the talk of every party I've ever served them at or brought them to. After all, who doesn't love savory seasoned cheesy sausage balls? It's really got something for everyone, especially if they're served with a variety of dipping sauces, and both adults and kids alike are guaranteed to enjoy them down to the last bite.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these easy to make Bisquick sausage balls as much as I do.
