Our sausage ball recipe is a crowd-pleaser, endorsed by over 2,000 home cooks and consistently ranked among our most requested! A Southern staple since the 1960s, these savory bites were so popular at parties, hosts reportedly used sign-up sheets to avoid a surplus of sausage ball offerings.

Created in the Betty Crocker Kitchens and first published in our 1999 Holiday Appetizer magazine, our recipe—using the iconic Bisquick™ (invented in 1930)—remains unchanged. The generous yield is perfect for large gatherings, or you can easily make a batch ahead and enjoy these cheesy, salty, savory treats whenever the craving strikes.

From casual get-togethers to elegant affairs, simply adjust the serving platter to elevate the presentation. Serve them plain or with a dipping sauce—either way, be prepared for them to vanish quickly! These Bisquick sausage-cheese balls are highly addictive; one is never enough.
