Easy Sausage Balls Without Bisquick Recipe
My sausage balls without Bisquick recipe is super easy and creamy. I pair it with an easy 3-ingredient sauce to take it over the top.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces mild breakfast sausage
- 8 ounces spicy breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Optional
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped parsley fresh
Honey Mustard Dip
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and Cut in the cream cheese and the shortening into the flour until it is crumbly.
- Add the sausage and begin incorporating it into the flour using your hands or a stand mixer. Add in the grated cheese and work it into the mixture till it is evenly combined.
- Using a mini ice cream scoop, scoop out the mixture and roll it into a ball in the palm of your hands. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake them for 20 minutes until they are golden brown. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley if desired, then serve!

Notes
- Always use good sausage. Since the fat content of ground pork sausage can vary, use a reputable brand like Jimmy Dean. Ground sausage from the meat counter is another way to ensure delicious sausage balls that aren’t too greasy.
- Opt for sharp cheddar cheese when making these for a fresher flavor.
- Lightly wet your hands with water when forming the sausage balls in your palms. A little goes a long way, so just a few drops of water are more than enough to create a smooth surface.
- Use a food processor to make mixing the sausage ball ingredients easier. It makes the prep super fast!
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. They also store great frozen for up to 1 to 2 months
