Perfect party appetizers make the holidays sweeter and full of savory memories. These Easy Sausage Balls are a southern serving staple with simple ingredients or sausage, cheddar cheese, Bisquick, and olive oil.
Set the 1 pound ground sausage and 10 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese out at room temperature until they are no longer cold.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray or oil.
Using either a hand mixer or an electric stand mixer, mix the sausage and cheddar cheese on low speed until just combined. Add the 1 ½ cups Bisquick and 2 tablespoons olive oil. This mixture will be slightly dry and crumbly.
Press the dough, using your fingers, into 2-inch-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the balls are golden in color.
