These spicy sausage cheese balls are a quick and easy party snack, packed with bold flavors and a crispy, cheesy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb spicy ground sausage
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 cups Bisquick or all-purpose baking mix
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Crushed red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine spicy sausage, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, Bisquick, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  3. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture and roll each portion into a ball about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Place the balls evenly on the baking sheet, leaving space between each for even cooking.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese balls are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Let them cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, swap Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. Adjust spice levels by testing a single ball before baking the entire batch.
