Garlic powder is ground, dehydrated garlic. It is a very common seasoning. Applications include pasta, pizza, and grilled chicken. Garlic salt is simply salt plus garlic powder. (Pre-made products usually include an anti-caking agent.) Garlic powder is a common component of spice mix. It is also a common component of seasoned salt.

Onion powder is dehydrated, ground onion that is commonly used as a seasoning. It is a common ingredient in seasoned salt and spice mixes, such as beau monde seasoning. Some varieties are prepared using toasted onion. White, yellow and red onions may be used. Onion powder is a commercially prepared food product that has several...

Allow the ground sausage to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. This will allow the sausage to easily mix into the other ingredients.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire baking rack onto the lined pan. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. This step will allow the grease to drip off onto the pan below.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, seasoned salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.

Add the sausage, cheese, and ¼ cup of milk to the flour mixture. Using your hands, evenly combine the mixture is well combined. If needed, and unlikely that it will be needed after mixing well, add additional milk, ½ tablespoon at a time,  to help the mixture come together.

Roll 1½ tablespoons of the dough into a ball and place it onto the prepared baking rack.

Bake the sausage balls for 18-22 minutes, or until golden.

Serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce (BBQ sauce, mustard, ranch, etc)

Bisquick Sausage Balls (3 Ingredients!)

pork breakfast sausage

cheddar cheese (I prefer sharp cheddar)

Bisquick baking mix

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, mix together the sausage, shredded cheese, and baking mix. Make sure to combine the mixture gently, without packing it too tightly. 

Scoop the mixture into 1 tablespoon sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown. You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure they are fully cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the sausage balls from the oven and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess grease. Serve either warm or at room temperature.

This recipe is great, tasty and loved by most with my family; yet, so very simple. Thank you for sharing. I tried it two ways...
I must say though that I took an optional recommendation from another recipe to add a splash of milk for fluffiness and is very good as well

Tried many variations of this recipe and this one is the tried and true constant winner. I always cook them about 20 mins to crisp the bottoms. 

Can these be cooked from Frozen and if so what would the temperature be and the time to cook it

This is the way my family has been making these for GENERATIONS. At no point would you cook the sausage prior to mixing and baking.

I've been making these for 40+ yrs, &amp; have always fried the sausage before baking them. I don't want all of that grease in my sausage balls. I bake them at 350 for about 15 minutes.

I have misplaced my recipe for sausage balls and was so happy to have found yours. It is exactly like the one I used, You have made my 2023-year a happy place!!

This has always been my go to recipe. It's simple, fast and delicious. The ONLY thing I do differently is to dump all ingredients in a gallon size zip lock bag, seal it up, and squish it all together. No messy hands and no bowl to wash. So easy!

I made using a Gluten Free pancake mix, and they were just as fantastic as I remember them being.  

I made these Xmas morning and they were a hit! Only 4 of us but we ate each and every one. I used the sage pork, this needs that little bit of seasoning. Making again for New Years day,  it's a fan favorite already!

I've enjoyed these for YEARS from my grandmother,  mother and now me! I've learned that it's a lot easier to mix if you add then bisquick after mixing the sausage and cheese together.  Thanks so much for this because I couldn't remember the measurements.
