Cream Cheese Sausage Balls are not your ordinary sausage balls. Made with Bisquick, pork sausage, cheddar cheese and cream cheese. The perfect appetizer!
YOUR MOMMA’S SAUSAGE BALLS (BUT BETTER!)
The sausage ball has evolved some over the years but the basic recipe is almost always the same. Sausage. Bisquick. Cheese. This particular recipe adds cream cheese to the mix to amp up the creaminess and flavor of the original Bisquick sausage ball recipe. Trust me, make a double batch because they will go fast!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound hot pork sausage
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
How to Make Cream Cheese Sausage Balls:
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together 1 pound hot pork sausage and 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened (note this can be done in a bowl with a hand mixer or by hand as well.)
- Add in 2 cups Bisquick baking mix and stir until combined.
- Then add in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Feel free to be generous with your cheese measurements. Add more if you like more. Stir until combined.
- Scoop up meat mixture and form into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. I find this easiest with a spring loaded cookie scoop. If they don’t come out round enough, you can just roll them around in your hand a bit.
- Then pop the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill (this will help keep them from spreading out while baking.)
- Once they are chilled, bake for about 25 minutes. Then serve!
