Here’s a classic Cream Cheese Sausage Balls recipe 🧀🍖 — soft, cheesy, and savory bites that are perfect for breakfast, parties, or game day snacks.
🍴 Ingredients (about 25–30 balls)
-
1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (mild or hot)
-
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
-
1 ½ cups Bisquick (or other baking mix)
-
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
-
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
-
¼ tsp black pepper
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
-
Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix Ingredients
-
In a large bowl, combine sausage, cream cheese, Bisquick, cheddar cheese, and seasonings.
-
Mix until fully combined (hands work best since the mixture is thick).
3. Form Balls
-
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should reach 160°F / 71°C).
5. Serve
-
Serve warm with ranch, honey mustard, or spicy dipping sauce.
✨ Tips:
-
You can prep these ahead and freeze unbaked sausage balls; just bake straight from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes.
-
Swap cheddar for pepper jack if you want a spicier kick.
