Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

This cream cheese bisquick sausage ball recipe is so addictive and easy to make! Spicy sausage, tangy cream cheese, sharp cheddar, bisquick mix and fresh scallions are mixed together and then baked until golden brown. They’re the perfect retro appetizer that everyone will love! I recommend dipping them in my sweet chili mayo for added awesomeness!

Ingredients
  

for the sausage balls

  • 1 lb ground spicy pork sausage
  • 1 8 oz block room temp cream cheese
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded (or pepper jack)
  • 1 ¼ cup bisquick
  • 2 stalks scallions finely chopped **optional**
  • ½ tsp garlic powder **optional**

for the dipping sauce

Instructions
 

for the sausage balls

  • Preheat your oven to 400F degrees.
  • Place the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar, bisquick and scallions in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Beat the mixture at a low speed for 1 minute (or use your hands to mash it together!) then turn the speed up and beat for another 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is pretty smooth.
  • Scoop out 1 inch balls and roll around in your hand to smooth them out. Place the uncooked sausage balls on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, turning the tray halfway, until the sausage is cooked through.

for the dipping sauce

  • Stir the sweet chili sauce and mayo together until combined. Serve for dipping.

Notes

  • You could also use havarti, pepperjack, fontina or any other semi-firm cheese!
  • For the most symmetric sausage balls, roll the balls around in your hand!

The dip in the video is my 3 ingredient honey mustard using regular dijon - not grainy ;)
