Gather up the short list of simple ingredients to get started. You can easily see why this is my favorite recipe for sausage balls.

Original Bisquick
cheddar cheese – You can use other types of cheese but I really like cheddar
spicy sausage – If you’re not a fan of spice, use regular pork sausage instead!
milk – I tend to use 2% milk but really any will do.

Even though this Bisquick Sausage Ball recipe is pretty straight-forward, there is always wiggle room to change things up a bit!

You can easily make this sausage ball recipe less spicy by using a mild, sage sausage, or even a sweet sausage in place of the spicy sausage. Turkey Sausage works, too!
Try out different dips to see if these cheesy sausage balls can stand alone or are better with more flavors.
Add on some fun toppings like parmesan cheese or a fresh slice of jalapeno to give it even more depth.
You can even make your own Homemade Bisquick Mix biscuit mix if you are out at home.
If you want to add a bit of sweetness, you can add some maple syrup to the mix as well. A tablespoon or so should add a nice flavor.
My kids really love to eat these meatballs with cheese. Pepper jack cheese is great to have shredded over the top as is sharp cheddar cheese as well. You can add the cheese right to the mixture, too.
I like adding in a teaspoon of garlic powder sometimes as well.
