Equipment

2 rimmed baking trays
Parchment paper
Rubber spatula
Large mixing bowl
Cookie scoop
Measuring cup

Ingredients

1 pound ground spicy sausage
1/2 pound cream cheese, softened
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Instructions

Line two rimmed baking sheet trays with parchment paper. Set the trays aside.
Add the ground sausage and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands or a rubber spatula to mix the two ingredients together. Work the cream cheese into the meat so you see no chunks of cream cheese. The smoother, the better!
1 pound ground spicy sausage, 1/2 pound cream cheese, softened
Add the Bisquick, cheese, and chives to the bowl and blend the ingredients together well.
2 cups Bisquick baking mix, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Use your hands to scoop the mix into two tablespoon-sized balls (about 1 inch). Roll the meatballs with your hands then place them on the lined baking sheet tray.
Place the baking sheet trays in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill the meatballs. This helps prevent them from spreading as they bake.
Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
Bake the meatballs for 25 minutes. They will be browned around the edges and on the bottoms and feel firm when you squeeze them.
Enjoy the meatballs right away!
