Notes

  • Servings: About 3 sausage balls per serving.
  • Spoon the Bisquick into the measuring cup rather than scooping. Packed Bisquick makes dry sausage balls.
  • Freeze raw: Freeze rolled balls on a sheet pan, then bag them. Bake straight from frozen and add a few extra minutes.
  • Freeze baked: Cooled sausage balls keep 3 to 4 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight and reheat in a 350°F oven or the microwave.
  • Keep warm: Serve from a slow cooker on the Warm setting for parties.
  • Gluten-free: Gluten-free Bisquick works; add a splash more milk if the dough is dry.
