Sausage Balls Without Bisquick are savory, cheesy, and satisfying bites made completely from scratch. Perfect for parties, breakfast, or snacking, they combine seasoned sausage, sharp cheddar, and a homemade flour mixture for a crowd-pleasing finger food.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb ground pork sausage (mild or spicy)
  2. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  3. 1 tbsp baking powder
  4. 1/2 tsp salt
  5. 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  6. 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
  7. 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  8. 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  9. 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add raw sausage and shredded cheese. Mix well with hands or sturdy spoon until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add milk, mixing until dough comes together and holds its shape.
  5. Scoop and roll dough into 1 to 1½-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  1. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and binding.
  2. Chill dough before baking to prevent spreading.
  3. Try different cheeses or spices to customize flavor.
  4. Ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F for fully cooked sausage.
  5. Perfect for freezing—just bake directly from frozen or thaw first.
