Tips & Tricks

  1. Use cold ingredients: Keep your cheese, and pork chilled before mixing them. This helps the mixture hold its shape better when rolling into balls.
  2. Don’t overmix: Mix the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can make the sausage balls tough.
  3. Customize the flavors: Feel free to add your favorite seasonings or spices to the mixture for extra flavor. Garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs like thyme or sage can be great additions.
  4. Use a cookie scoop: Using a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop can help ensure uniform-sized sausage balls, which will cook evenly.
  5. Adjust cooking time: Keep an eye on the sausage balls while they’re cooking, as cooking times may vary depending on your oven or air fryer. They’re done when they’re golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve with dipping sauce: Whip up a simple dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or honey mustard to serve alongside the sausage balls for extra flavor.

FAQs about Bisquick Sausage Balls

Yes, you can prepare the sausage ball mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze the uncooked sausage balls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag for longer storage. When ready to bake, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.

Certainly! Chopped vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach can be added to the sausage ball mixture for extra flavor and nutrition. Just make sure to sauté or cook the vegetables before adding them to the mixture to remove excess moisture.

Yes, you can absolutely make sausage balls using Red Lobster Biscuit Mix! The combination of the biscuit mix with sausage creates a deliciously savory and slightly buttery flavor profile.


To store sausage balls properly, follow these steps:

  1. Allow the sausage balls to cool completely to room temperature after baking.
  2. Transfer the cooled sausage balls to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Arrange them in a single layer to prevent them from sticking together.
  3. Place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between layers if stacking multiple layers of sausage balls to prevent them from sticking.
  4. Seal the container or bag tightly to prevent air from getting in, which can cause the sausage balls to dry out or absorb unwanted odors from the refrigerator.
  5. Label the container or bag with the date of preparation to keep track of freshness.
  6. Store the sausage balls in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you need to store them for longer, you can freeze them for up to 1-2 months.
  7. When ready to enjoy, reheat the sausage balls in the oven, air fryer, or microwave until heated through.
