Ingredients:

  • 1 lb bulk pork sausage
  • 2 cups Bisquick Original Pancake & Baking Mix
  • 1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley or rosemary
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions:

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Place your 4 oz of cream cheese in a large bowl and beat it briefly until smooth.
  3. Add the 1 lb of pork sausage to the cream cheese. Mix until no large clumps of cream cheese remain.
  4. In a separate small bowl, combine the 2 cups of Bisquick, garlic powder, and herbs.
  5. Gradually add the dry mix to the sausage mixture. It will look crumbly at first, but keep going until it forms a cohesive dough.
  6. Add your 1 lb of freshly shredded cheddar. Knead it in by hand or with a paddle attachment until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a small scoop, form 1 inch balls (about 25g each) and place them on the sheets.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes until the bottoms are browned and the tops are golden flecked.
