Southern 3-Ingredient Sausage Balls
These classic Southern sausage balls are savory, cheesy, and packed with rich breakfast sausage flavor. Made with only three simple ingredients, they’re perfect for parties, breakfast spreads, holiday gatherings, or easy snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork breakfast sausage mild or hot
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded and packed
- 2 cups biscuit baking mix Bisquick or similar
- 1 tbsp milk optional, if mixture is too dry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, combine sausage, cheddar cheese, and biscuit baking mix.
- Using your hands, knead and mix thoroughly until no dry spots remain and mixture holds together.
- If mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk. If too wet, sprinkle in a little extra baking mix.
- Roll mixture into 1 to 1¼-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet with slight spacing between each.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden around the edges and fully cooked through.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Serve with ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo for dipping. These freeze and reheat very well.
